		<description>I appreciate your emphasis on the &#039;personal human relationship&#039; with your clients in your business marketing post. 

It&#039;s not hard sell nor is there a feeling of &#039;automated marketing&#039; dominating your interaction with your customers. 

Another suggestion is to try &#039;joint venture marketing campaigns&#039; with your clients if there are opportunities to do so.</description>

now these days that business is not pouring I guess we need to be careful of expenditures on getting new clients, focusing on existing would be enough for the moment.

Thanks</description>

		<description>I just sent a gift basket to a client I did a job for a year ago as a show of appreciation. Her daughter called a week later and wants to meet to talk about their project.</description>

		<description>Great post! I try to put myself in the situation of my customers and look how my current tools benefit THEM. Using that perspective, I develop a sales approach that highlights each of the advantages of your business. For example, ZipWall customers have found that talking about ZipWall dust containment systems shows customers how dedicated I am to their safety and comfort. Customers are able to understand not only the proficiency of your skills but also your dedication to helping them keep a clean, sanitary and safe environment. Everyone benefits whenever you can look at things from another&#039;s perspective - that&#039;s why we developed ZipPole, because it&#039;s practically the same as the ZipWall system but at half the price. http://zipwall.com/lp/zippole.html</description>
