there ya go...too many of us assume our customers will stay with us, and do nothing when they haven't phoned for a few weeks...which turn into months and before you know it its been a year.

Its bloody tedious but as tigz has shown...it does work
and we all say we ain't got the time but if we don't make time then someone will nick it from under our noses....and yes i'm very much guilty of it too :0(

It is tedious, Out of 100 calls if you only get 10 leads it's a start, Then its converting them into sales leads and then customers, If i get one or two frequent users then it's worth it.

I called a contact in dhl exel 2 weeks ago who used us for some ballsed up deliveries by dhl sameday  in october and he said ooh i'm glad you called, I have mislaid your details , By the way can you send 2 sprinters in now for  manchester and bristol.

So it pays to keep in touch.

I think he already has!

As for today, I spent the morning sorting out my website and as soon as I'd done what I wanted to do I got a call for a collection and two deliveries. A jaunt into the congestion zone was just what I needed to test the new fuel management gadget I had fitted yesterday. Cost £300+ VAT but the claims about fuel saving I was given (and a 21 day no quibble return for refund guarantee) seem to be justified.

Whilst I was on the road I got a call from a woman who saw my ad on eBay. Can I collect a big sideboard from Lancaster and deliver it to Bristol? Hmmm
