If you have a business there is one thing you need over everything else…
You need people to BUY your Product or Services.
You NEED SALES.
There is an old adage or saying when it comes to sales:
People BUY from people that they Know, Like and Trust.
A Business can create the
KNOW, LIKE, TRUST
by building their BRAND through
Digital Marketing
The 7 steps of the selling process:
Sales Steps 1,2,3 are about MARKETING or PROMOTING YOUR BRAND!
1. Introduction (first impression)
Rule of Likability – Friendly, Open, Genuine
2. Build Rapport (connect)
Rule of Relationship – Personal, Interested, Attentive
3. Earn Trust (ask questions)
Rule of Listening – Needs Assesment, Focused on Them
If you skip 1, 2, 3 and go right to slamming someone with info or asking them to buy it is a lot tougher to get the sales you want.
Digital Marketing Channels can Create Awareness (introduction), Build Rapport (Connection), and Earn TRUST.
