Overview: What is it about your organization's customer relationship management practices which identify you as competitive, unique or first-class ? Who are your customers? What do they want? How we can more effectively persuade our existing customers to purchase more of our products and services, while referring even more prospective new customers our way? We'll talk about how to deal with some of the "newer" challenges to our effectiveness, including faster information velocity, capacity, bandwidth and our own mobility. You'll leave with a "Top 25 Tip List" for gaining repeat business and new business!
