How to Strengthen Customer Relationships
- You occasionally call one customer to keep in touch.
- You wait another week to call someone else.
As a result:
- Your customers rarely hear from you.
- You = ignorant about problems and ideas to improve customer situations.
- Your relationships with your collective pool of customers suffers like mofosokos in pools of fosokos.
Bottom-line. Drain.
How to Build Relationships Efficiently
Instead of thinking the scattered one-by-one approach, think:
- Group.
That is, when you pick up the phone:
- Don't just call one customer.
- Call 5/10/15 immediately after the first.
Why?
Newton's Laws of Physics.
Think: You + pushing a car.
- At first, you suck: nothing moves.
- But, the more you push, the more the car gains momentum.
- And the next thing you know, you're pushing the car like it ain't no thang but a chicken wing on a silly string.
You know stopping the moving car will force you to restart the freakishly-strenuous process of getting the car moving again so you keep going.
Likewise with your customers:
- The first customer you contact = @^^% hardest.
- But, that second one becomes easier.
- And the third/fourth/fifth/yadda = easier/easier/easier.
"Stopping on that first contact (or the second or third) will force me to restart the strenuous ^!@$%^^^@%^@%! process!" you tell your bad self.
So, you keep moving and contact the next 4th/5th/6th/7th/yadda customers, as it becomes easier and easier and so much more ridiculously easier.

Instead of solidifying customer relationships once a week, you start solidifying 10/15/20 customer relationships at a time.
Result:
- More opportunities.
- More referrals.
- Stronger business.
Think blocks.
