Attributes of a Successful Selling Strategy
05/15/09

 

by  John  M BetanCourt

The first attribute for successful selling is a strategy plan to build a website that provides information about the products and service you are providing. The advantage of that is telling the whole world about your products and services. Selling is a talent to be cultivated. It requires a lot of understanding to find what the customer is looking for and then fulfilling his needs.

It is very important to get the complete attention of reader. The content of the message should be make reader think and want. This can be achieved by using power words, along with color and visuals. Once the attention is grabbed, it should be retained till the end of the message. The customer should be prompted to take action and their involvement should be sought. They can be made to sign up for newsletters or can be made to take the survey by visiting the company’s website.

The consumer should be convinced to buy the product or use your services. All the features of the company should be specified, with the more relevant ones on the top. They should be explained logically through these points how the products will fulfill their needs or solve their problems.  It does only by convincing the customer about this will motivate them to buy the product. They should be made to understand what wonders the product or service can do for them. Strong emotional words should be included in the sentence. The customer should either fear the loss of the product or service if he/she doesn’t buy it in time or should be given the greed of the advantages the product or service can provide. These reasons will create an emotional impulse and will make them think that they have no other option but to buy it. They will have a logical reason to make the purchase. The emotions of the buyer should be manipulated with words.

Something like ‘limited edition’ or ‘limited period offer’ will create a sense of urgency. The customer thinks that he/she should get this product or service somehow. It’s nice to have sales often, especially to clear out old inventory book spotty weeks in the name of special offers. If it’s a product which has an obvious damage should be sold out at a special price. But the damage should be mentioned to the customer. If it’s not mentioned, the first time the customer will be tricked into buying something, they will lose trust and won’t come back again.

Always hold seasonal sales and offers. Since all the competitors will be giving out different offers to attract customers, it’s a good point to have one, too. Remember not to imitate anyone. Only a unique offer will make the customers not go to the competitors’. Once in a while offer free shipping offer also works. A condition like if a customer spends particular amount of money, all items will be shipped for free or buy one get one free. This is another attractive deal which will surely tempt the customer. Thanks to search engines and online stores anything can be purchased from the comfort of the home. Give away free sample to the customers or keep a pre-sale price for introductory products. The customers won’t think twice to spend a little money to try something new. 

The ending of the sales message is where most people mess it up. The whole efforts will be wasted if the customer gets a second thought. He/she should be convinced, by nice words, to buy the product till the very end. The content should be arranged with care. The key is to tell the customer what to do exactly after he/she finishes reading the
material, like ‘Grab the golden opportunity now’ or ‘pick up the phone and dial the number right now’, etc.

Do not include links or short advertisement of other products or services. This will shift the focus of the reader and he might have a second thought. A list of the existing customers should be maintained and from time to time special offers should be mailed to them. So basically the whole idea is to influence the mind of the customer until he/she buys your product or services.
