A Quick Tip to Improve Customer Communication
Does it sometimes seem that your prospects and clients just don’t understand you?
Sometimes you feel you have been really clear. However, your prospect or customer just doesn’t understand you! No matter what you do, you just don’t get through.
Often, this happens because we communicate in the right way to persuade people like us. The trouble is there are a lot of people that aren’t like us!
Here’s an easy idea that really works
Frequently, we speak to people or send them a written e-mail. But many people are visual learners. They need something that they can see to fully understand what you are saying.
So send your contact something they can see! Send a graphic, chart or a video before or during a call. Often they will understand what you mean much more quickly. This tip is especially useful for technical problems, such as explaining how to set up a file or how a fold or imposition works.
Some people prefer learning by touch – how do you deal with this on a call? Simple! Send them a sample first.
