75% of Selling Occurs After<\/i>  <\/span><\/o:p><\/font><\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

the Advertiser Says ‘Yes’<\/span><\/b><\/o:p><\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

 <\/font><\/o:p><\/p>\n

          <\/span>Last week we discussed the fact that your customers demand value for every investment they make.  <\/span>And we explained the value equation and how important it is that you manage both the customer’s expectation and the customer’s experience.<\/font><\/p>\n

.Value<\/span> <\/b>=<\/span> Customer Expectation  <\/span><\/b>+ <\/span> <\/span>or   <\/span><\/b>–<\/span>   <\/span>Customer Experience<\/o:p><\/b><\/font><\/p>\n

          <\/span>Make no mistake about it, value is never received, only perceived<\/u> and you can manage that perception.<\/font><\/p>\n

          <\/span>There are so many variables in the marketing mix,  <\/span>variables<\/span> like weather,  <\/span>competitor’s campaigns, sales staff attitudes and more, that none of your clients can say with certainty that a campaign did or did not work based solely upon your advertising. <\/font><\/p>\n

          <\/span>It is up to you to create the perception <\/i>of value by establishing realistic expectations upfront, then over-delivering after the sale.  <\/span>In our Guided Discovery Selling process, we have proven that 75% of selling occurs after <\/i>the order is signed.  <\/span>In other words, always under-promising and over delivering.<\/font><\/p>\n

          <\/span>We use two primary tools to manage the customer’s experience after the sale.  <\/span>One, is our Critical Four Questions<\/u>.  <\/span>Once a month, review each of your accounts and ask yourself these four questions;<\/font><\/p>\n

1.<\/font>     <\/span><\/span><\/span>What is the last Valid Business Contact I had with this client?<\/font><\/p>\n

2.<\/font>     <\/span><\/span><\/span>When was it?<\/font><\/p>\n

3.<\/font>     <\/span><\/span><\/span>What is the next Valid Business Contact I am for this account?<\/font><\/p>\n

4.<\/font>     <\/span><\/span><\/span>When will I do it?<\/font><\/p>\n

          <\/span>A Valid Business Contact is defined as anything you do that benefit’s the customer or increases their sales.  <\/span>If the answer to number 2 or 4 is ‘longer than 30 days’ you are not managing the customer experience.<\/font><\/p>\n

          <\/span>The other tool we use to manage the customer’s experience is our Post Campaign Analysis.  <\/span>Conducting a Post Campaign Analysis places you miles ahead of weak-kneed competitors who do not have the confidence in what they deliver to ask their customers what worked and what did not.<\/font><\/p>\n

          <\/span>Of course, the other advantages of conducting a Post Campaign Analysis are;   <\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

          <\/span>a.) You learn how your client measures success<\/font><\/p>\n

        <\/span>  <\/span>b.) You learn how to make each campaign better than the last<\/font><\/p>\n

         <\/span> <\/span>c.) You appear more professional and customer-focused<\/font><\/p>\n

          <\/span>If you don’t currently have a Post Campaign Analysis process, you can use the form on our website <\/font>www.wensmedia.com<\/font><\/a> or click on <\/font>http:\/\/www.wensmedia.com\/media\/free.html<\/font><\/a> <\/font><\/p>\n
