Unfortunately, many businesses and salespeople lose business by not protecting the sale of existing customers. Generally speaking, every business loses about 10 percent of its client's base each year. This fact can be very scary if the 10 percent loss is from your best clients. A strong defensive sales tactic will not only protect the sale of each customer, it will also strengthen each business relationship gaining client share from existing customers.

When consulting with some businesses, many of them are more interested in building new clients than developing and growing the clients they have. The truth is that, it is much easier to grow an established business from their existing client base. Most of your customers don't realize all the things you do and it is easier to capture new business from them. When we understand that it takes somewhere between 3 to 7 times more effort to win a new customer, it is not always a good strategy to target new customer first.

We all watch the commercials on TV. We hear them on the radio. We meet someone at an event or hear them speak and we are hooked. What has happened? Their marketing efforts have made the ordinary sound extraordinary. They have been successful at essentially creating something out of nothing! This is marketing at its best!How can we, as entrepreneurial women, market ourselves and our businesses most effectively? First we need to clarify what we want to gain as a result of our marketing efforts.
The Challenge of Selling to Invisible Clients
One of the challenges for technology companies is adjusting and developing business relationships with invisible clients. Customers are invisible because they are faceless and you never meet them without their email address. In some cases your best customers may never come visit you - ever! Perhaps they only visit you online and send files to you. It could be worse if you use a delivery service to drop off orders. It won't matter how great your smile is, most of your customers will never see it.
The world is comfortable with Internet communications and more and more businesses are adopting this method. This is making it more difficult for businesses who insist on only using salespeople. A salesperson that uses traditional sales tactics will not be able to compete with buyers who prefer to remain invisible.
If your competition is making personal Internet sales calls or sending personalized and inviting communications to your customers, what can you do to defend against this? The best defense is adapting to this challenge. At Selling Magic we meet this challenge with our exclusive and innovative customers for life program. The customer for life program is a series of personalized Internet communications designed to develop and increase clients share with customers. We have simply adapted to the customer preference for this advantage.
