Boss managed to coax one of our customers to place an order

That’s kinda important for a business.

Yeah, but usually our customers reach out to us. We usually don't reach out to them to ask if they need anything. We're manufacturers and sure, we need people ordering. But we're not door to door salesmen begging people to buy

No, but some times you gotta “work the account”! Call’m up and check on’m. See if they need anything. Here in ‘Murica, you can lose accounts if you aren’t checking on them regularly. I suppose it could be different in Sweden though.

Well, usually a bit different anyway I think. We take what jobs we get but we often not ask for it. Except for when Boss feels like calling someone to have a chat cause he's very social, he then also asks if they need something.

But it makes sense to "work the account" as sometimes we expect an order to come in but it hasn't yet. Then if we call and ask about it they immediately place an order cause they suddenly realized they needed it!
