Just staying in touch regularly is what keeps my business at an 80% repeat and referral year in and year out. And I don't particularly do pop-bys...

This is a relationship business - use your CRM and reach out to your sphere, organize events for them and visit with them - you'll soon have a 95% referral/repeat business. Good luck, Chris!

1)  when asked for information,  I provide it. I don't "pop by"
