Business services companies all face the unique challenge of not having a physical product. Instead, they offer superior services or solutions and rely heavily on the relationships that their sales and customer success teams build. They have created a successful company on their people and brand, and as such, their brand is incredibly important to them.

Clever Tip #6: Keep the Relationships Alive With Communication
It costs considerably less to keep a customer than to win a new one, so it’s smart to maintain a campaign to upsell or resell to existing customers. In fact if you’re not communicating with your customer database at least every four to six weeks, you’re missing opportunities to grow your business. Use a combination of sales and marketing tactics to stay in touch, such as alternating sales calls with email and direct mail. Even with the best of offers, you can burn out your list if you pitch customers too often. So rather than sending only communications with hard-sell offers, intersperse them with e-newsletters that contain case studies or other soft-sell but relevant and valuable information.
Make a habit of periodically using your marketing communications to ask for referrals. You can email a success story, for example, and ask the recipients to forward it to friends or peers who would like to achieve similar results. Or, promote your referral program in your html email signature template (a little more on that later). By providing deep information about your company for new customers and ongoing offers and communications with existing customers, you’ll create a synergistic campaign that builds strong and lasting relationships.
