If One of These Is Your Customer
Call your contact as a person first and a seller second. Ask how they're doing, and who's making decisions now. People remember who checked on them. If you'd rather see what a buyer sees when he looks you up, get your Bison Walk-Around. The Tailgate, one letter a month from the patch, signs up at the bottom of any page.
