If meet Affiliate Manager in person, they are more likely to work closer with you (and pay you more $$$s)

If based outside South-East England, arrange to come to London once every month or two. Schedule a few meetings

Arrange meetings before/after/during conferences like this one

Print and bring relevant information

Dress one degree smarter than person you are meeting. Shows professionalism and respect
