The client that just made your day a happy one shouldn&#8217;t be the last time you interact with them, though. Once a client buys your product\/service &#8211; they can be an advocate of your business or a nightmare. The period after the sale for $300, $3,000, or $30,000 is when the real deal starts and is most important to be on your A-game. Retaining clients is key to having your business succeed. You&#8217;ll eventually run out of new clients or won&#8217;t even have the opportunity to make new ones if you can&#8217;t satisfy the ones you had.<\/p>\n<p>Leaving the sale without committing total satisfactory value to the client on the service\/product you sold them is a huge mistake. Always commit whatever needs to be done next to get that client back in the door, his end-value being satisfied, and good PR. The world&#8217;s market is available to anyone with a phone. You&#8217;ll be a lot better off following up and being genuine making sure they are satisfied, rather then them trashing your company to the community and reviews online.<\/p>\n<p>Selling is a series of conversations about change. You provide them value and a solution. Most times there is a competitor that can offer a similar solution a few blocks down the road. When they make that purchase with you, you sold them a series of agreements that provide them with certain results and expectations. Not only is the threat of competition or bad PR a good reason to follow-up, but it builds on your relationship and increases your chance of retaining them. The customer will feel a certain loyalty and personal connection to you for reaching out to them making sure they are happy.<\/p>\n<p>In business you go to any lengths to make sure your customer is happy and is taken care of.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You just made a huge sale and things couldn&#8217;t be going better.
