Prospective customers only take time to ask questions when they have a high level of interest in your product or service. Providing a satisfactory answer to a prospect's question often leads directly to a sale.
Invite prospects to ask questions when in live selling situations. And make it easy for them to ask questions when they are not ...such as at your web site. For example, list a phone number or email address where you or someone else can answer their questions.
Tip: Include a Questions and Answers page on your web site with answers to frequently asked questions. It will reduce number of questions you have to answer individually.
4. Make Buying Easier
Every non-essential action in buying process is an opportunity for customer to reverse their decision ...causing you to lose sale.
Look for ways you can make your buying procedure easier and faster. For example, many marketers use a multi-step shopping cart to get online orders when a simple online order form would do job with just 1 or 2 quick clicks.
Tip: Don't ask for unnecessary information during ordering process. Instead, send a personalized "thank you" message after sale and include a brief request for information.
These 4 selling tactics may not be new to you. But are you using all (or any) of them? If not, they can easily boost your sales ...for little or no new expense - and without making major changes in your sales process.
