Company Expertise
1) What influences the client and what motivates them to buy your products or services? What ideas must you use to grab their attention?
Show that you and your business is the EXPERT, providing a real solution to the client’s particular needs. The real motivation to buy is driven by the need of the buyer to solve a specific problem. Aim to communicate your ideas to “clients”, not “customers.” The difference between the two is that a client is under the care, protection and guidance of a dedicated expert in the field.
The best way of convincing potential clients that you are an expert is by giving them MARKET DATA, showing their pain and problem, and motivating them to buy. You should aim to ‘BECOME THE MARKET EDUCATOR’, using real market data as the prime motivation for tempting the client to use your services.
2) How much of an expert at buying your particular product is your client? When you approach it from this angle, it changes everything, because your job then is to HELP your client. You will be giving them the knowledge they need to make an informed decision to buy.
