Work hard? Sure! Know your products very well? Of course! Provide the best service? No doubt about it! Succesful Price negotiations? Indeed!
It´s enough?…Not really!
From my point of view, the key factor is missing! RELATIONSHIPS with the customers! This is the element that separates the good from the best!
Why?
Information
Knowing a customer is key to driving sales. Without a doubt, the best source of information is the customer himself that is also often quite difficult to access. When you are close, everything is easy. For example, when talking about products, you can have the information about what they dislike about the products they are using from the competition and what specific needs they have.
Time Optimization
Existing customers are much more likely to try new products than new customers. Having a stable long-term relationship with a client optimizes your time. Instead of desperately calling potential sales leads all day, you can rely on a few trusted contacts to meet most sales goals. Compare this to constantly searching for new sales potentials and not knowing if enough deals will be closed each quarter.
Facilitates the Return of Investments
Proximity with the customer provides accurate information about his needs and optimizes the investments.
