Turnover lower than you’d like? Plan for a growth spurt by selling more. How to sell more? For starters, try these five simple tips;
1/ Start with existing customers and see if they want more – apply the Pareto Principle: 80% of your revenue comes from 20% of your customers. Call the 20%!
2/ If they still like you, ask for referrals and testimonials! – personal recommendations give you more credibility and will attract more new business.
3/ Check that the market wants what you provide by asking a couple of key questions – use Survey-Monkey or similar. Responses may show you need to tweak, or even change your offer to make it more attractive.
4/ Check where you have sold successfully in the past, identify the common sector, product or need and target that with renewed enthusiasm. This may not be the top 20% (above) but it could be the easiest sector to target and win new business.
5/ Devise a product variation or amalgamation and make it a special offer of some sort to attract new interest. You could make it part of a short, or longer marketing campaign.
These are just a few of the many ideas and strategies that can be applied to your business that will make a positive difference to your sales figures.
