Your customers are ultra-busy in life and business, so you could be an unwanted visitor vs. a valued guest. Never forget this distinction and you will be halfway to generating new business. When meeting with new or existing customers, always bring them new information (new studies, breaking news, research from an unbiased source, etc.) to help them to perform their jobs better. The last thing you want to do is regurgitate information they have heard a hundred times before. And don’t forget to send them helpful information between visits, so they remember you when you show up the next time. By the way, publishing a monthly insider newsletter would be the ultimate information marketing home run for you and your customers.

The Wrong Way to Generate More Business
If you are just another sales rep who is pushy, rude, or worse yet, boring, you are on the wrong side of the sales equation. I remember sitting through hundreds of boring sales presentations when I was a supply chain executive, that too often turned out to be all about the presenter’s company and nothing about solving my challenges. If these companies received business from me – it was an accident!
