The best way to build a relationship is with strong, powerful connections.

1. The network you build is your sales lifeline

Your network are---business partners, professional acquaintances, your prospective and existing customers, suppliers contractors, and anyone else you've come in contact with in your business

2. Communication with your network often is important

New contacts have a short self life and you have to nurture them. The best way to start building that relationship is to get in touch with them immediately.

3. When you're working with a shoestring budget e-mail marketing is the most effective

I have often said that you give helpful information first before you send a sales letter. What you are doing is building up your reputation as an authority by giving them insightful information on a subject. When you send out email newsletters you are giving your prospects tips and advice that leave them wanting more.

4. When you reward your customers they'll reward you

Statistics shows that a 5% profit increase correlate to 25 out of 100 sales and repeat customers spend 67% more that new customers. By staying in touch through e-mail you're building a lonmg term relationship with your customers.

5. Your best Salesforce is your loyal customers

Using an autoresponder for e-mails increases to your value to your customers and increases the chances for referral business
