21 Mistakes That Customers Can'T Make

Error 1: no planning for visiting.

It sounds simple, but if you feel that this business can't be done, try to end it.

Fix: never mind pushing a door before you think about what you plan to achieve.

Error 2.

Flirting with the front desk.

This may be tempting, but unless you have the appearance of a handsome guy in a TV soap opera, you will probably only irritate the other person (even the police) and tell the boss.

Correction: courteous, friendly and courteous.

Error 3: rude to administrative staff.

If you behave arrogantly and superior, you will only cause repugnance.

Correction: once again, please be friendly and respectful to both staff and others.

Error 4: appear with a group of people.

If you bring too many people, it will make the customer think why your cost is so high.

Fix: when you need other people to participate, please use the Internet Conference.

Error 5: not paying attention to you.

Correction: before visiting customers, go to the toilet of the gas station and dress down.

Error 6: pretend to drop in.

Who are you kidding? Do you think that if you pretend that this is not a special visit, the possibility of rejection will be reduced?

Fix: say or sell important things to justify your appearance.

Error 7: late.

If you don't arrive on time, this tells the customers clearly that you don't care about them or their time.

Correction: always arrive 15 minutes ahead of schedule.

If you drive to the appointment, open the GPS.

Error 8: too commercial at the beginning.

Remember, you are building a bridge with another person, not just selling things in a dazzling way.

Fix: smile and be friendly...

But don't be too emotional.

Error 9: at first, it was too friendly.

There is no better way to pretend to be false than to pretend that potential customers are friends for a long time.

Fix: close to them with respect for each potential customer and proper courtesy.

Error 10: speaking more than listening.

Early visits are about building relationships and gathering information. If you don't keep talking, you can't achieve your goals.

Correction: asking customers questions and asking questions.

Error 11: argue with customers.

If a customer does not agree to a point, the argument will only make his difference more realistic.

Correction: ask the client why he thinks so; then listen.

Error 12: discuss politics or religion.

These topics almost always fall into a dangerous situation which is difficult or impossible to get rid of.

Answer your cell phone.

Gee! What are you thinking about? What phone calls are more important than a potential customer in front of you?

Error 19.

It's too long to stay.

Your potential customers and hundreds of things are waiting for him or her to do it instead of spending time with you.
