Every aspect of the customer retention equation needs to be in balance. Not only is product quality essential, contractual relationships, competitive negotiated prices and delivery are all tied in as well. Something which Covid-19 has thrown off-balance is the relationship between sales reps and their buyers. With face-to-face meetings, trade shows and travelling salespeople out during the pandemic, there are now other factors influencing customer retention.
