BIG MISTAKE (3 of 10) according to Peter Thomson

Leaving cash on the table that is identifiable using the Magic Matrix (TM)

  • Do you know what you sell? If you don’t know, your customers don’t know either.

  • Do you know who your clients are? If you don’t know, your clients don’t know either.

  • The empty holes in the Magic Matrix are your primary windows of Opportunity where you are leaving cash on the table (see the pic in this post!)

  • Do you use survey monkey or Fusion Soft (CRM tools)? You should, to keep on top of who is buying what, who is interested in what, etc.

  • Books / booklets are the best business card you can have, to establish yourself as an expert and display what you sell (and to whom) brad note – check out my very first post in this blog to get yourself a copy of Jonathan Jay’s free book!

  • You need to be clear how replaceable you and your company are and how difficult it is for others to learn what you do

  • Your customers should know, like and trust you

  • If customers haven’t bought any of your other related products / services from you, it’s because they didn’t KNOW you sell them

  • You need to make sure they KNOW, via websites, emails, newsletters, service calls, face to face meetings etc…

  • In the telling, you are doing some selling

  • A great line to use is: “I’m ever so sorry, but I’ve been so busy I haven’t told you about the others things we sell”….
  • You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make him drink – UNLESS YOU ADD SOME SALT TO THE OATS FIRST
