Here's One Word That Can Double Your Print Sales
One of my clients recently doubled the turnover of a job
Their customer requested 350 brochures. But the printing company ended up with an order for six roller banners as well!
The printing company carried out one simple strategy to achieve this result:
They asked "Why"
The brochures were needed in a hurry. The salesperson simply asked why they were required for this particular deadline.
It turned out that the customer was attending an exhibition. The salesperson immediately talked to the customer about what else they might need for the event. So they quickly won the order for the six roller banners as well.
Remember to ask your customers "Why" next time you are speaking with them.
You may well end up with some extra work.
