How do we use communication tools to communicate or stay in touch with our clients? In this morning’s networking breakfast the theme was how we are using phone, skype face to face and more to open and maintain communications with clients. A great subject, so I wanted to share my thoughts and get your feedback as well. First up this varies depending on what business you’re in, location and your business model. Over the counter and one-on-one appointments are still the foundation of many businesses, and catching up with clients and prospective clients (and peers as well) at networking events is a great way of expanding your reach in the local business area and finding reliable local suppliers.

Agree with you Geoff! I think is about paying attention about how our clients prefer to be contacted. I have added that question as part of my business communications and it makes it easier so I can reach people the way that works best for them (not the other way around!).

Thanks Taty, that's a good idea adding that question on to a client form. I don't think too many business owners would bother to add that in as part of the 'marketing mix'.
