too, big time. You could be the next one, but learn the secrets first and get going.
There are seven secrets to it all
Yes, this is exactly what the big honchos out there didn’t want to share with you. However, we understand how important it is for us to share best practices. Hence, take advantage of these seven steps and watch how popular your blog or website becomes in due course of time.
Secret 1
Who is your prospective? If you know who your ideal prospects online is half the battle has been won. Are you aiming at a company to deal with, blog about or promote online? If the answer is YES, identify the department within the company you aim to talk about. Remember, you have to aim at selling your products and services to the big bosses of the company. It would be trickle down later on, where they take interest in your write-ups and spread the news about your work. Some call it the famous Zebra Method, where once you identify the real customer, the selling happens with them and to no other. Closing ratios thus improve when the focus is on one, and not too many at the same time.
Secret 2
Get in touch with the target audience Once you have identified who needs to be contacted, get in touch with them. But ensure you research and do your homework on them, whether they are individuals or large corporate houses. The best way to do that is to check for reviews, testimonials, social networking sites and other profiles online. A lot of information comes across about prospective clients, and the world is very small must we say. Send them a quote and wait for their response. But bear in mind that the emailed quote you send is relevant and for something they would need at the moment. For example: You wouldn’t want to send quotes on precision instruments to an organisation that works for child upliftment. Maybe a quote with regard to raincoats for kids on discounts would do well.
Secret 3
It should be about the client Brag more about the client’s ideals and values and less about your visions. This is about them and not you, which are why we say, let them feel special while you talk about them. When they talk and tell you about their needs, hone your listening skills. There is a lot of information you can gather from them. Issues and problems, logistic tantrums and daily work woes, all would be leads to what they want and maybe need at the moment. Cash in on that and find ways to help them.
Secret 4
Help is at hand, be assuring Customers want help and it’s you who they look up to for the same. They don’t want to know how amazing that face cream is, or how many miracles it has done for many. They want to know how it would help them. Hence focus on what’s in it for me, rather than look what I have for you. While you are at that, speak to them about the money they could save. For example, herbal face creams are cheaper and easy on the skin, in comparison to laser or electrolysis therapies. Bang on and the client is yours!!
Secret 5
Propose well Not the marriage way but have a proposal in hand, a hard copy or a CD would do wonders. This should have references of clients you worked for and satiated in the past. Testimonials and how the company now would benefit from the product or service you wish to sell. The price quotes too should be included, in sync with the company’s status. Talk about savings and also about the benefits of the products in brief. You need to make this something they want to buy or use, moot point to be noted.
Secret 6
Call of action Clients till the end are hesitant to say YES, because they aren’t sure if what they buy would actually be beneficial or not. Hence, create a mutual call of action, which would benefit both parties. Make them visualise happy and successful moments using your products or services. Backtrack later to the moment they signed up for the deal. This will show them what lies ahead, positives of course, and you get the deal too.
Secret 7
Follow up and don’t let go This should be done at every stage when the talking begins, but don’t force it through. It all depends on how you follow up with your client; it could make or break your deal. Irrespective of what you are doing, don’t miss that call or let that email go unanswered. Timely responses means serious business, deal signed and you win the check.Thank You!!!
