  1. In person: It\u2019s essential you meet with customers\/clients in person whenever possible. This shows you respect them and take the time to work with your clients to give personal attention to each of them.<\/li>\n
  2. Follow up letter: Always take a moment to send a follow up letter about what you talked about, new agreements or partnerships made and to thank them for taking the time to meet with you. Likewise, you should always send thank you letters or small gifts to partners you find success with.<\/li>\n
  3. Phone call: Use a telephone call to follow up with them to talk again about the matters you talked about in your meeting and offer any assistance you can to help their business run smoothly and more successfully.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
