It's not always easy for a business to establish a Point of Difference.
To me this is especially so for businesses that sell much the same products as other businesses do, at much the same, or higher, prices.
Sometimes it's the people alone who can make the difference; remember that people like to do business with people like.
With that in mind hire the nicest people you can. Make sure that they have a customer focus, have good product knowledge and are well-presented. Let their 'nice-ness' shine through.
Prepare for an upsurge in return customers.
(The up-coming post for Wednesday 14/1 is Closing the sale. Its title says it all!)
This blog is for business-owners, sales managers and salespeople who want to get better results; also for the trainers and coaches who help them. Tips are normally posted on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. (Old tips are deleted after a few months.) This blog is also different; some posts are short and quirky, others are longer. Some are sales-specific; others are about business development generally. Some posts have been published previously in In-Business magazine. Enjoy!
