Lucy Kelleher is the founder of Keep Them Loyal. In her "former" life as a litigation paralegal and elementary school teacher, she quickly learned how important building relationships was to a successful business. When she became a full-time entrepreneur, she realized that her relationships with clients and business partners was even more critical to her success. She no longer saw her contacts daily or even weekly! She had also started networking and needed to connect with potential referral partners and business resources. She began to create systems to ensure that she stayed connected as well as stayed “top of mind” to them.

She assists business owners grow their business by helping them build relationships with their clients and referral partners. We work one-on-one or in small groups to create their own client retention and referral programs by strategizing ways to stay connected.

What is a CRM? There are so many of them out there! How do I decide if I need one and then which one do I choose? Do they all cost money?

I have a stack of business cards from various events I have attended. What do I do with that stack of business cards?

I'm feeling overwhelmed that I am not handling the clients and leads that I have now - I'm hesitating in attending events and meeting new people. If I can't handle what I already have, how can I take on anything new?

What's a follow up process? How do I follow up? I can't meet everyone for coffee or talk to everyone I meet one-on-one. How do I decide who to meet and follow up with?

I network but I'm not getting anything out of it. What should I be doing?
