Are You Missing These Five Sales Opportunities?
I’m always surprised that many print salespeople miss good opportunities to sell to me.
Here’s a checklist of sales opportunities that are often missed:
- Remind me of extra services you can offer (e.g. design, data management, fullfilment, etc.)
- Check if there is a better specification that I could be using (it helps if you have some case studies for this)
- Give me a run-on price, even if I don’t ask for it. Many customers don’t realize how little it costs them to get a few more printed
- Ask me about how I use the product, so you know when to call me to take my re-order
- Ask me when the next print project is coming up
Do you ask these questions to all of your customers?
