1. Reach out regularly to people who refer business to your client, so your client gets more referrals.

2. Stay in touch with people who have inquired about your client’s products and services but are not yet ready to buy. You can automate following up with them (so your client doesn’t have to) and help get them ready to buy.

3. Reward customers, make them feel good about your client’s business and encourage them to buy more.

4. Introduce people to your client’s business. Help them meet editors, bloggers, potential partners and more.
