From the first contact to the conversion
Hi guys and Gals
just a quick report of what I have experienced over the past few months
It seems like from the very first enquiry when a person visits your site with the first email the key is how you reply to the email.
You can scare the person away or you can have hime reply because you have to be so creative with your response.
I have getting better at this and now I find that if I ask hime many question and not even mention prices or anything like that the response it better . Also never push with deadlines alway be cool and relaxed because everything will take time.
The sale that I just had actually started a month ago and came from a question to a blog I had written. Now it actually took ten emails before the gentleman said yes OK can I pay with Paypal please.
Also it seems that it certainly does takes time and you just have to have the patience to get the person to trust what you are saying and that you are really trying to help them solve their problem
But you will get there in the end
All good fun!

Thanks for this valuable advice! Sometimes good advice can sound like 'common sense', but when you are in the moment, it's difficult to take a breath and let things run at their own pace!
Congratulations on a sound sale and hopefully a return customer! That's what makes the self control so worth it! Sue :)
Excellent result Paul. gentle persistence + minimum pressure = reesult. Great to hear.
Hope you are fit and well.

I agree completely. I currently work in sales as my day job and coming on to strong is never a good customer journey.

Good post!
To me, this is another reminder that the goal of our mmarketing should be to get people to know, like and trust us. The purchase will follow naturally.

Yes, Paul, I think you so right. I remember (oh! sooo many years ago now!) I had a manager (a very good one) that suggested to me, "Richard, true selling, honest selling, is purely the function of helping the prospect to make the right decision for them, not you".
I kinda think that's what your own post is saying as well. And in this pushy scammy world we all hate so much, when we are "sold" to properly isn't it such a more pleasant experience on both sides of the "right transaction"!
Kind regards
Richard
