Selling to loyal customers is way easier than pitching to new leads.
“The customer wants to buy. He needs you to help him believe.”
Master these five post-sale strategies to keep your sales game strong and your client base evergreen.
Rockstar salespeople know that closing deals with new clients often hovers around 20%. Say you interact with ten potential clients on a bustling day; chances are you’ll secure about two deals, often after hours of discussion, building trust, and nurturing connections.
Yet, closing rates with repeat and referral customers? It skyrockets to 60% or more. If you’ve got five appointments lined up, you’ll likely make a deal with three. With these familiar faces, you’ll be discussing shared interests and essentially guiding a friend through a purchase.
So, which sounds more appealing?
For a consistently booming sales landscape, integrate these five actions post every deal:
- Gratitude in Ink – Right after your customer heads out, pen down a heartfelt thank-you. Every single time.Dear Alex, A big thank you for trusting us with your recent purchase.
