Generating Business Part Three:

Ten more questions you should ask yourself if you want to generate more sales enquiries and turn them enquiries into profit.

  1. The best way to sell is to ask questions, are you and your sales staff aware of this fact?
  2. You should always include a PS in your letters, are you aware of why this is important?
  3. You should be using up to ten ways to market your business, are you doing this?
  4. If you follow up a mail shot with a phone call you can increase response rates and increase your profits, do you do this after every mail shot?
  5. Your existing customers are really important, you should take the best care of them are you and your staff aware of this?
  6. Your clients all have Birthdays; do you know when these are? Do you send them a card?
  7. You should be in contact of your existing customers all the time by these methods, Mail, Email and Telephone, this is how they will get to know about your offers, are you keeping in touch?
  8. Most of your competitors probably don’t do what I have stated above, Can you imagine  how much  better than them you would be if you chose two of these marketing methods and put them to use?
  9. Would you enjoy life more if your business was doing better?
  10. Did you know for things to change in your business, you have to change what you do with your marketing?

If you have answered NO to any of the above, implement the changes today and begin to earn those missing profits that your company needs.

How To Get NEW Customers On A Tight Budget – And Get People To Do Business With YOU Rather Than Your Competitors!

Try Before You Buy Offer

Using the social aspect of sales:

Sometimes the social aspect of a TRY before you BUY offer can be used to help people make the right decision, making the sales process faster and less stressful.

Quite often your potential customers have already decided to purchase your products/services and your try before you buy offer simply helps them to make a decision.

Don’t let your potential customers make the mistake of taking their business elsewhere, sometimes people want to buy your product/service but they need to remove the risk of buying from you.

Use a ‘Try before you Buy’ Offer,

Find a way to offer your potential customer an opportunity to try your products, let them test it or see if it works, don’t be fooled into thinking your product/service is to valuable to let potential customers try it for free.

Test it out!! it will pay dividends.

BMW or Mercedes will quite happily let you test drive one of their cars, WHY because they know that it works, many customers buy cars from one these two companies this is the same principle as a try before you buy offer.

Here’s what to do NOW:

Firstly: find a way to get potential New Customers to try your product and feel the value it will offer to them, make sure this trial is FREE.

Secondly:
ask these potential New customers what they thought about your product or service after using it.

If they tell you they love it, ask them what is it, that they loved

The answer to this question should be the foundation of your sales pitch, remember questions hold the answers let your potential customers sell your product for you. Believe me when I say they will sell your product or service to themselves.

This would be a good time for you to say, I’m really glad you found our product or service useful, then you can use an assumptive close to sell your product/service.

If you ask this question in the right manner and say nothing your potential customer will be motivated into taking some action, this won’t work every time but it will massively increase the number of sales that you make, try it and see.

It makes little or no sense what so ever, that any business even small businesses would not have a try before you buy offer.

Another approach is to let your potential customers take all the risk, putting their faith in you and your product/service ask yourself what you would do in this buying situation?

If you wouldn’t buy your product neither will they.
