They are your customers. They've purchased products or services from you. They've demonstrated trust in you. So when was the last time you offered them something new? Something different? Something that will enhance and improve their current situation?

If you're like a lot of small business owners, you've probably been busy servicing existing clients and (hopefully) also taking action to attract new business. Nothing wrong with that, provided that you're getting sufficient returns to justify the effort you're putting into it.

It also involves a high level of rejection, which a lot of people find soul destroying. It’s a job that not many people are good at, and the ones that are, are highly sought after and can earn large sums of money. Needless to say, these high-performing individuals tend to get snapped up by the large corporates who can entice them with attractive remuneration packages. Not good news if you are an SME.
