Tactics follow.

Walk before you run.

To break through the market noise, you must meet your customers where they are and develop a deep professional relationship with them.

You will guide them through the seven stages of this relationship. Your goal is for them to:

Know – Like – Trust - Try – Buy – Repeat - Refer

You, your brand, and your offer.
I can help you create the right tools and messages that will resonate with your customers at every stage of the relationship.

Step One: Know.

First, your customers must know you:

  • Have you made it easy for them to find you?
  • Are you ready to tell your story with clarity and brevity?
  • How will they know that your solution is right for their problem?

Together, we can design tools to help your customers find and know more about you.

Step Two: Like.

People do business with people they like:

  • Are your promotional materials user-friendly?
  • Is your business prepared to give a delightful first impression?
  • Are your prospects interested in what you want to present?

We can help you win more customers by attracting and retaining your prospect’s attention.

Step Three: Trust.

Trust is the currency of business:

  • Do you know how to earn and keep your customer’s trust?
  • What reasons do you give your customers to believe you?
  • How do you ensure they’ve made the right decision choosing you?

Winning your customer’s trust is critical for a long-term relationship.

Step Four: Try.

Before buying from you, your customers will want to try you, your brand, and your company:

  • Are you ready to answer their questions?
  • How can they try out your brand without a big commitment?
  • How easy is it to do business with your company?

Designing a good trial experience is the key to growing sales and winning new customers.

Step Five: Buy.

Getting the first order is just the “end of the beginning”:

  • How do you onboard new customers?
  • Are you prepared to train their team on how to use your product?
  • Have you communicated clearly what they can expect to see?
  • Do they know how to reach you in case of problems?

Design a buying experience that eliminates buyer’s remorse.

Step Six: Repeat.

Focus on your customer’s success to keep them buying again and again:

  • Do you have a plan to measure your customer’s success?
  • Are you ready to troubleshoot and serve their needs?
  • Do you know how to find new problems to solve?

Nothing breeds success like success.

Step Seven: Refer.

Word-of-mouth is the best marketing:

  • Do you know how to ask your customers to refer your business?
  • Are you leveraging the influence of Key Opinion Leaders?
  • Have you created customer success cases?

Your customer’s success is the source of new customers.
