How to Bring in Business and Increase Sales
Getting Started
A business isn’t sustainable without a quality foundation. But this doesn’t mean you need to drain your bank account for the coolest and most complex website. However, it does mean you need a thought-out and cohesive image. Your first step is to sit down and make a list of everything you need to work with a prospect. This may include business cards, stationery, brochures, and presentation tools. If cost is a concern, hire a marketing or art student from your local university. Better yet, barter your services with other startup entrepreneurs.
Greet in Style
Although voicemail may not be the first component of your marketing plan, it is still important. If your voicemail is full or your child answers the phone, you lose a sense of professionalism. Moreover, you could lose a client. So get yourself a professional-sounding voicemail with several options. Such as “press 1 to hear about your services”. Or “press 2 for your web and email address”. If you’re not sure where to start, contact your phone company. They may have some simple options.
Narrow Your Focus
Rather than attending ten different networking groups every couple of months. Try choosing one or two high-quality groups with the best prospects. Then make contact every week. ProNet offers weekly meetings between the Board of Directors and members. This helps everyone dive deep into each other's goals and needs. Start by giving them a call. Then mail them your marketing materials and ask to meet. In doing so, you will save you a lot of money and a lot of time.
Get Friendly
Do you want to be known as a great business owner? Or maybe you’d like to be known as an all-around great person? It isn’t hard. Start today by offering to help others out. A good business owner knows that word-of-mouth isn’t only generated by great goods and services. It is also generated by your good deeds. You can do this by creating a referral relationship. Begin by referring your people to your friend’s business and they will do the same for you.
Additionally, you can do this by making friends with nonprofit organizations. Try setting up a fund-raiser that helps a local school or a sports team, like a discount card. The kids will offer them to their friends and family. As a result, they will also be promoting your business.
Network
Last but not least, it's important to network. If you feel like you’ve heard this piece of advice before, it’s for a good reason. Simply put - networking works. And not the kind of get one or two leads a year type of “works”. A business network group can benefit you in a multitude of ways. In addition to creating connections, a network can also help you get leads and achieve your business goals.
