Establishing your business presence in your immediate surrounding area is very important. Your backyard should be the easiest place to get business, although everyone knows this is not always the case. In order to ensure that none of your competitors move into your home territory, there are a few methods you can use. Building relationships with clients you've already acquired and clients you would like to have through personal contact is the best technique. Relationships are at the center of all business dealings.

The more often you are in contact with your current customers the more loyal they will be. Make it part of your normal habit to get in front of your current local customers as often as possible. This habit will establish a personal bond between you and will give your business dealings a much more personal feel for them. This personal relationship should eliminate any chance that a competitor may have for stealing them from your business.

Potential customers are a whole different animal. It may seem like a waste of time to stay in touch with them since they have already told you 'no'. But keep in mind that if their dealings turn sour with their current provider they will turn somewhere else. The first person they contact when making this switch needs to be you and your business. So the first time that they have a major issue you will be on speed dial since you have been in touch with them this entire time.

In order to get the most business out of your local area, be sure to establish the best relationships possible. Remember that ‘no’ often means ‘not now’ and not ‘never’. You need to use this method if you ever hope to be distanced from others in your field. You will also build a reputation as a great business person if you are in constant contact with all of your customers and neighbors.
