The new people we meet daily can become tomorrow’s best friends / customers, but the challenge is how do you maintain your relationships within your sales network, especially as it grows into the thousands?

Many people can maintain their relationships with their sales network in a local area through meeting at various events, special occasions or simply communicating over the phone or by e-mail. However, as one goes global and meets more and more people in a variety of countries, the challenge to maintain relationships within your sales network becomes more demanding.

Your Sales network is the foundation to your business. Not only do you need a way to capture and maintain information about the people in your sales network on a daily basis, you need to communicate with your sales network on a regular basis. To maintain relationships, there has to be ongoing communications, and the more two way it can become, the better.

Thanks to the internet there are many cost effective ways of communicating with our sales network from e-mail to e-mail broadcasts and e-newsletters to private forums and interactive discussion groups.
