Internet Marketers: Make sure you have a way of getting email addresses of visitors to your web site. You need it to follow up with them. For example, offer a complimentary subscription to your email newsletter - or a complimentary special report delivered by email.

4. Encourage Questions

Answering questions is another way to demonstrate your interest in helping customers. It also captures sales you would otherwise lose from prospects unable to get all information they wanted.

Encourage prospective customers to ask questions when you are in a live selling situation.

Make it easy for customers to ask questions when they are at your web site or in other selling situations without live communication.

For example, provide a phone number customers can call to speak with you or someone else who can answer their questions. Consider using a toll-free number unless you only do business in a local area.

Tip: Include a Q&A page on your web site with answers to frequently asked questions. It will reduce number of questions you have to answer individually.
