2. Stages of Selling
Our plan breaks down the sales cycle into a series of stages that are designed to create an experience that promotes your value of doing business with you.
The “sales cycle” includes every aspect of client acquisition and retention in four major stages:
Stage 1 – Engage
Use marketing and advertising to prove the value of contacting you.
Stage 2 – Educate
Use direct sales to understand the prospects needs and educate them on their options.
Stage 3 – Close the Win/Win Sale
Prove the value of using your product or service to address the prospect’s needs.
Stage 4 – Retention Marketing
Use ongoing value-added information and updates to retain long-term customers and a healthy referral source. |
