Don't neglect outside opportunities: pass out business cards, make specialized auto tags, magnets, pencils, feather caps, whatever might be appropriate for YOUR type business; join organizations, talk to people atrepparttar grocery store checkout or your child's ballgame, conduct a local class or volunteer to present a free seminar atrepparttar 127330 communicty center...Use Your Imagination! How many IPAs a day? Just depends on how much you want back.

It's important to cater to your present customer now too; you want to retain them. Remember THEY are your most valuable asset-they ARE buyers, and know others!

I like to do my KGA (Keep it Going Activities) right after a major accomplishment; trying out new software to see how I might improve efficiency or presentation, revising/editing website content, reviewing data, implementing plans to improve those places which are lacking or deficient, updating keywords...this is sort of my 'round tuit' list! These activities primarily are forrepparttar 127331 benefit of current customers.

After all, a bird inrepparttar 127332 hand is worth two inrepparttar 127333 bush.

He enthusiastically thankedrepparttar 127334 businessman for providing him withrepparttar 127335 ten prospects and then asked him if he had thought of any other people to refer? The businessman smiled and said that he was very busy atrepparttar 127336 moment and shockedrepparttar 127337 insurance agent by handing him a phone book. The businessman explained that he had selectedrepparttar 127338 previous ten prospect names at random out ofrepparttar 127339 phone book and thatrepparttar 127340 insurance agent could go ahead and getrepparttar 127341 next ten for himself.
