Four Tactics to help you

  • Stay in touch with your contacts and show interest in their needs within and outside of the daily business interactions.

  • Create events that allow you to meet e.g. organize a reference meeting with another customer or create a round table session.

  • Work with your team to define who will build a relationship with whom on the prospect side.
