Give It Away
Though it might sound like commercial suicide to some, we suggest you give away something of value to potential customers. Ofcourse it is a balance, as you don’t want to provide your services for free. But a piece of information such as a free market report, a guide telling where to get certain products or a review of new products might be greatly appreciated and be a great relationship builder – at minimal cost to your company.
People First
Too often we are so eager to make the sale and grow our business that we forget that all business starts with people and the connections between them. So, think of your business activities as building relationships with people first and then doing business with them afterwards. This is the way to grow strong business partnerships and get loyal customers. Therefore, sales material and information from your company needs to be composed to promote this.
To say it bluntly: you want customers to give their money to you and not to your competitors. Therefore, it makes sense that you are the one who takes the first step towards building a relationship with them.
