Meet conflict head on, no matter what appear to be too scared at the moment. The earlier that problems are dealt on the table, the fastest on the track and back to normal.

If you get big business to be with someone, always be sure to let them know. It feels better for it, and they will.
Another good idea is to reach and “touch” your customers and clients on a regular basis by sending monthly newsletter. This is a wonderful way to stay in touch, either let them know you’re thinking of them, and remind him.
Remember, you get a great relationship, what you put into it. The value to do business. Cultivate relationships that are always growing and thriving. Keep it up and you always have to make a garden full of healthy contacts, happy business.
