11 Ways to WOW Now!
If You Don’t…Somebody Else Will
Think Like Your Prospect
What do you know about them?
What do they care about?
What challenges do they face?
Bottom line: It isn’t about you!
Tailor Your Message
Broadcasts are boring and uncreative.
Make the message relevant. If you are
emailing a small business make the
message about small business.
Get the basics right…name, grammar.
Don’t pitch.
Respond…Quickly & Without Blame
Don’t pretend to offer service options if you
don’t support them.
Having a Twitter account is not the same as
being responsive to questions or complaints.
Respond and solve the issue quickly.
Don’t direct them elsewhere – handle it.
Give More
Than
Expected
This should be self-explanatory!
Care
What you sell has implications for your
prospects and customers businesses.
You might also seriously impact their
career.
Think about that!
Make it Easy
Your people and processes should
make doing business with your
company easy.
Do they?
Provide all the Details
Don’t make prospects or customers do the
work.
Be proactive in providing important details.
Don’t assume they know.
Go The Extra Mile
Enough said?
Anticipate Needs
Don’t wait for someone to complain before
you fix a problem.
If you see a gap, don’t wait for someone to
ask you to fill it.
Just do it!
Use Your Brain
Pretend you are the customer.
Put yourself through what it feels like to
talk to marketing, sales or service.
How does it feel to read your email? If it
feels impersonal and stupid to you, it does
to prospects and customers too.
Remember Who Pays You
Guess what…
Your employer cuts the check.
Customers pay you!
Any questions?
Will You Stand Out or Strike Out?
There are NO magic bullets to success.
Standing out is hard work!
Striking out is easy. Happens daily.
Will you take the road less traveled or not?
