How do you get more out of your customers?

How do you get them to stick around and buy from you over and over again?

How do you get them to spread the word about your business without even asking them too?

You need to speak out publicly and often and ask for feedback.

When you speak publicly to present customers or potential customers you are forming a relationship with them. It may be quite a few times before they even recognize who you are and what you are selling, but if you speak often enough your customers will start to recognize you as an authority in your industry.

Sooner or later they are going to search more about you and discover that they may need what you are offering. That is where social media is great to get recognized and get your message to many people, but blogging is better to have people learn more about you and get to know you more personally.

Every business should have a blog and post everyday. It develops a relationship and gives you the opportunity to tell the world about your products and services as well as ask for feedback and establish exactly what it is your customers want.

The more you post and correspond publicly with your target audience the more trust and credibility you will build so when it comes time to use your products or services, your customers are dealing with a trusted friend or company that they feel they have an attachment to and a relationship with.

This breaks a lot of the barriers and fears that customers have when making a buying decision and goes straight for the sale.

Not only that, when they are in conversation with theirs friends and family and the topic of your products and services arise, they become the best sales people you could ever hire. There is no better sale than a word of mouth recommendation. It bypasses all the questions as they are making the buying decision based on the trust and recommendation of a friend rather than a company.

So, get into the hang of speaking out publically about your products and services. Try and engage your customers somehow and get their feedback about you and your company and products, then take the information and give your customers exactly what they want. This will set you apart from your competition and set you up as a leader in your industry with a trusted following.

When you are developing a relationship, you should also be asking them for a way to reach them again. This can be through email, newsletter or direct mail. That way you can reward them for giving you feedback.

One if the biggest mistakes people make in business is not testing to see what works. They are essentially working by trial and error. Most times businesses are leaving a ton of money on the table when they could be grabbing it all by finding out what works and what doesn’t by surveying their customers and getting an accurate response.

Find a way to communicate regularly with your customers and get their feedback as often as possible too.

GDI review

If you were late in the game and you missed out on the dot com boom, then there is a new alternative.

Branding is so important, but someone has probably got that .com name before you. They are never going to give it up, so you need an alternative to rank for your name.

Thats where .WS comes in.

You can now have your own website and domain name hosted for $10 a month.

You can check mine out at www.website.ws/neilhowe

There is also a great business opportunity here.

As GDI (Global Domains International) own the rights to ALL .WS domains, they are able to provide a lucrative business opportunity to spread the word. They know word of mouth is the fastest way to spread the news virally and they are willing to pay you well for it.

Now, I was in the need of another website and I really wanted it to be in my name- Neil Howe. But,  the .com was taken years before I ever thought about it.

The REAL reason however was the business opportunity, as I know so many people are in the same position and want to rank for their name in the search engines. This is a fast and easy way to get the recognition that may have been difficult before.

This is an exploding market and for $10 a month for a great looking website, hosting, 10 email addresses and business opportunity it made sense to me.

I know you wont want to miss out on the best opportunity to come by you this decade, so go now and see if your name is still available.

This is the time, especially coming up for Christmas and the mass increase in purchases that businesses are looking for that edge to get the sale over their competitor.

What is going to make the difference? Is it price? Yes, people want to find the best deal. But, you can keep your price higher than your competitors by raising the perceived value of your offer.

For example, big price items such as mattresses and furniture may have a big difference in price from store to store. Maybe one mattress is $500 at store A and the same mattress is $545 at store B. Who is going to get the sale? Store A of course. But, if store B offered an incentive with the purchase of the mattress of a $500 grocery voucher the perceived value is now greater and more attractive to the customer than store A.

Inside the customers head the conversation goes like this. “Well, I could buy from store A and save $45 now, or I could buy from store B and pay an extra $45, but get $500 back in groceries. Hey, that $500 will almost pay for the entire bed. That means I am almost getting the bed for free and groceries are definitely something I need and spend money on every month. Yes, it makes more sense to go with store B for it is greater value and a better deal overall”.

How much did the grocery coupon cost the business? Much less than the $45. So, store B is able to take business away from store A and even keep the price a little higher in order to keep their profits high.

Now, what do you think this is going to do for word of mouth advertising? The word will spread quickly that you can get a $500 grocery voucher when you purchase a mattress from store B. Now store B has twice the sales as the would usually have and still at a higher price than store A.

Business incentives like this work like a charm and are sometimes responsible for the complete success or failure of some businesses. What is going to be the incentive that will put you over the competition this season?
