Last week, I sent an email to one of our SoundADvice members, accidentally misspelling the word service, saying, “We are always looking for ways to improve our servive to our members.” While I know how ‘survive’ is spelled, I wondered to myself if my writing ‘servive’ when I meant to say ‘service’, wasn’t a Freudian Slip.<\/h4>\n

A Freudian Slip is described as “an unintentional error regarded as revealing subconscious feelings.”<\/h4>\n

Perhaps to ‘servive’ with your accounts, you too should always be looking for\u00a0ways to provide better service.<\/h4>\n

In our new SoundADvice sales meeting video series, we suggest that one way to ensure you are super-serving your clients is to review every account at the end of each month,\u00a0asking yourself these four questions;<\/h4>\n

1.) What was the last Valid Business Contact (VBC) I made with this client?<\/h4>\n

2.) When was the last VBC?<\/h4>\n

3.) What is the next VBC I’m planning for this client?<\/h4>\n

4.) When will the next VBC happen?<\/h4>\n

If the answer to question 2 or 4 is longer than 30 days away, you might not ‘servive’ the next time this client looks for ways to cut her budgets.<\/h4>\n

A Valid Business Contact is any contact which benefits your client. It can be delivering a new idea to increase their sales, reviewing new data you might have about their industry,\u00a0arranging a strategic marketing partnership or any other service you deliver that strengthens your relationship with your client.<\/h4>\n

P.S. Our survey of more than 500 radio salespeople revealed that more than 80% of sales people said sales meetings are ‘usually a waste of time’<\/h4>\n
