How often do salespeople try to sell us something before we’ve even shown interest or need? For many, it seems standard practice to pitch to everyone, regardless of their interest level.
When someone tries to sell us something prematurely, we often think, "Why would I buy from you? You haven’t earned the right to sell to me!"
Successful selling, both online and offline, involves identifying a need before attempting to match a buyer with a product or service. It’s about providing enough information for the buyer to make the best decision based on their needs and establishing trust. The most successful sales professionals position themselves as resources before vendors.
Having worked in both traditional and online sales and marketing for many years, I’m amazed at how frequently people try to sell without understanding the customer’s needs. They fail to realize that a better match increases the likelihood of return business and builds trust. If you rely on repeat business or referrals, trust is crucial to your customers' decision to return to you when they need your product or service.
For any business aiming for long-term success, understanding the buyer’s experience from their initial encounter is crucial. A positive initial experience increases the likelihood of repeat purchases. It’s a proven fact: retaining repeat buyers is more cost-effective than constantly seeking new customers. While attracting new clients should be part of your business model, building trust with existing clients boosts your conversion rate more reliably.
One often-overlooked aspect of sales and marketing is the lifetime value of a customer. After a sale, many customers are forgotten. With proper care, a one-time buyer can become loyal. Loyalty often stems from trust.
We live in a "try before you buy" society. Many buyers use the "buying ladder,” applicable to both in-person and online sales. Before purchasing high-ticket items, buyers will "test the waters." This might involve test-driving a car, touring a home, or seeking recommendations. Online, it could mean downloading a free resource or buying a low-cost product to test service quality, delivery time, product quality, and responsiveness.
Consider your own buying habits. What process do you follow before deciding to purchase?
When you build trust, people want to do business with you and share their positive experiences. You may have heard that bad experiences are shared more than good ones, but I’ve often seen people rave repeatedly about exceptional experiences.
Buying decisions are made for various reasons, but ultimately they depend on whether the buyer trusts the process and you. Building that trust means you’ve earned the right to sell.
