Getting The Sales...

What is better than to start the new year with discussion about getting your prospects to pay for your affiliate product?

Somehow some people will have the idea that getting the prospects to buy your product is to convince them to buy something they don't need and rush their decision before they change their mind. But my friend, let me tell you. Scam artist rush the prospects to buy their stuffs and you, as a professional affiliate marketer, don't need that. What you need is the ability to show your prospects that your products can help them succeed.

You just need to communicate effectively with your prospects and really listen to what they are saying. When you interact with them sincerely, you will know what your prospects really want. Then you can decide whether your product suits them or not.

If your product can't feed their need, tell them honestly. There is no point squeezing a square block into a round hole. You are only getting your customers upset and when they ask for a refund, you will get yourself upset.

Remember, you will always win when you help others to win. You will better. :-)

Now, no matter what kind of business you are in, you are constantly competing with someone else. In affiliate marketing, you are competing with other affiliate marketers for the same market. How are you going to stand out of the crowd then?

What you can do is to understand your prospects behavior and you can do that by building long term friendships with your customers. Talk to your prospects, ask them what you can do to help solve their problem and when they turn to you for help, do your best to answer them.

Once you understand what motivate your prospects, fulfilling their need will easy and the money will follow.

After you close the sale with your customers, you need to see to that your promise is being fulfilled. Ask them did they receive their product and are they happy with the product after a few days. If they are unsatisfied with the purchase, see what you can do and to solve their problem. If you can't solve the issue, direct your customers to talk to the merchant.

Now, that is what I call value added service and that is what sets you apart with the rest of the affiliate marketers. However, through my experience, this kind of extra work does eat into your time. But when there is a chance I can build relationship with my customers, I will go for it. I just want to know more about them. :-)

So, when you decided to do the same, remember to manage your time well.

Create Your Success,
