Connie's motivational quote for today is by – Jim Rohn, “One customer, well taken care of, could be more valuable than $10,000 worth of advertising.“ After finding this quote for today's show, I began to reflect on the money I see many companies spend on advertising versus the value put on deliverables after new sales are made. 

 

Too often, I see everyone striving to bring in new business; they need to remember to follow up and show up after new pieces of business close.  Essentially, business goes out the back door as we work and focus on the front door. 

 

We need a balance of constant new business development activity and nurturing and delivering great solutions to our existing clients. 

 

I have been blessed to live off referrals for most of my sales career.  It’s not magic or luck.  I over-deliver, grow my relationships by playing to the long game, not looking for transactional business, and remain relevant and valuable to ALL my past and present clients.
