It's important to stay organized and maintain a detailed to-do list. I prioritize tasks based on urgency and customer requests, ensuring that any time-sensitive orders are processed first. Using CRM software also helps keep track of each order's status and the special needs of clients.

I focus on consistent, proactive communication, whether through phone calls, emails, or face-to-face meetings. Understanding their needs and providing timely market updates helps build trust and rapport. I also make it a point to check in regularly, even when they don’t have immediate orders.

Absolutely! Once, a major client expressed frustration due to delayed shipments.
