The first interaction with the customer till the purchase of your service or product does not end. It’s not a one shot deal. Many internet marketers drop the ball when in comes to customer service. Do you follow up with your customers after the purchase and see what results they are getting? How often do you keep in touch with your prospects and customers?

Good Selling!
