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.<div>Its bloody tedious but as tigz has shown...it does work</div><div>and we all say we ain't got the time but we always find the time to post on here....so one should perhaps replace the other...lol</div>

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.<br><br>I called a contact in [business] 2 weeks ago who used us for some ballsed up deliveries by [business]&nbsp; 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&nbsp; manchester and bristol.<br><br>So it pays to keep in touch. <br><br>

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.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br></div><div style="text-align: justify;">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</div>
