Return calls promptly.

Ok, now it may seem really obvious, but when you’re looking for new clients or customers, be sure to return calls promptly. In the past month, I’ve acquired several new clients- simply because I took the time to return their calls. You’d be surprised at how much business other professionals toss away by not following up, and not returning calls promptly. If you’re too busy to handle the influx of calls- hire a receptionist or answering service to do it for you. If you’re too busy to handle the influx of new business, consider creating referral relationships with or directly hiring other professionals. Whatever you need to do, be sure to return calls promptly. In business, very often, who ever gets there first, wins.
