The one way to do this is to get in toucj with your customers. Do not attemp to do this by mail or It istoo impersonal. If you want to builx relationships withyour customers, then build them the way they are supposeed to be built - by peoplse dealing directly with people! You need to ask your customerss a simple and direct question: "How are we doing for you? Be and tell me the truth." Next, for the salespeopl who still are employed, you are going to have to work Yes, I said it - harder.
This means not only visiting your existing customers and checking their true levelk of customer satisfaction but also goin g out and gettingnew business. the economy is slow, and we are not buyintg as much of anything as we did a fewyears ago, but the fact remainxs that there is still business being done out
