Keeping a customer costs far less than winning a new one. A loyal customer buys again and, above all, talks about you to the people around them.
Nurturing the relationship
- Personalise your contact: remember their preferences.
- Bring value regularly (tips, new offerings).
- Deal with problems quickly and properly.
Asking for a referral
Do not hesitate to ask, at the right moment, for a referral: « If you are happy with this, do you know anyone else I could help? » A satisfied customer is glad to recommend you, but rarely thinks of doing it spontaneously, so it is up to you to ask.
Well done: you now master the full sales cycle, from the first impression to long-term loyalty. Over to you!
