Tip 5: Saying yes to clients

Friday, September 15th, 2006

Be polite to your customers. Say yes.

At the same time don’t be afraid to say No, if it is beneficial to your client.

An honest No would be appreciated rather than saying a Yes and overpromising.

Send a Thank you letter to your client. Use an occasion like Thanksgiving, client’s special day etc.

Along with the Thank you note send a post it notes with your company name on it.

Every time your client uses the post it notes to scribble something down they might remember your thank you note as well.

An easy way to be on the memory of your client to get repeat business or referrals.

Tip 3: Overcome price competition

Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

Are you in an industry where competitors constantly beat you on price and try to get your customers?

Offer other non price incentives such as extended warranty. Free replacement for a period of time.

If you are a service provider offer extra hour of consultation.

Tip 1 - Give initial discount and follow up

Saturday, September 9th, 2006

If you have an online store. Make the first time customer feel special. Offer them a 10% discount when they order on your store for the first time. Keep track of the user and how frequently and often they visit your site.

Set a criteria, say 3 months, based on the type of industry you are in. If you have not seen the customer do additional purhcases within the 3 months, send a 5% or 10% coupon to be redeemed for the next purchase.

Check for customer tolerance on how frequently you can send emails, follow up and earn more business.
