The Sales Lab🔬: 3 Ways to Add Value For Existing Customers
Getting the sales is one thing, have you considered how you intend to build out your relationship with customers post-sale? Offering value doesn’t stop when they sign on the dotted line; depending on your product or service, you can take opportunities to update or upsell them on things that are bound to improve their experience using your solution.
It’s also cheaper and easier for you to keep existing customers happy and satisfied than to keep trying to replace existing customers with new ones.
Most importantly (and some sellers forget this), your existing customers are probably being contacted by your competitors right now. That means adding value for customers isn’t a race to the finish line, but it is a process.
Perfect that process by doing this 👇
Brainstorm
When thinking about what to say on the call, you probably won’t be bursting with ideas – and that’s okay. Conduct small brainstorming sessions with your team members and throw some ideas around. Ask each other questions like:
What problems does the customer have now that they didn’t have last week?
How are you qualified to help with those problems?
Are there any updates about your company that are relevant to them? This could take the form of supply availability, safety measures, or whatever is relevant to your company.
Establish Relevance on the Call
Whenever you reach out to existing customers, ensure whatever information you provide them is currently relevant.
For instance, if some of your other customers have made a particular change in their subscription that has provided them XYZ benefit, mention that. And be sure to be as specific as possible as to how it fixes their problems or improves upon their experience working with your company.
Something along the lines of:
“I want to tell you about some of our customers who recently made XYZ change, and how that has helped them to do [insert thing that matters to existing customers]. Something they weren’t able to do before we introduced them to [insert awesome thing].”
Treat it Like a Sales Call
Not to be confused with calling your customers nonstop, bugging them to let you upsell them.
Remember, at its best, selling is helping. When you make that call to the customer, don’t think about selling them on anything, but rather, make it a personalized, value-packed reunion between you and someone you’ve already built a relationship with.
Will it lead to them buying something additional from your company?
Maybe.
But first, ask them questions that matter, and let that guide you in advising them better.
