    Customer Attraction is all the more important now in the New Normal Economy. The global lock down has forced all businesses to a corner and business today is hyper competitive. Customers are very careful about spending during this difficult period and it is so much harder to get them to say yes to the sale.

     

    To do well, you need to elevate the way you brand and position your product and services, redesign the way you do sales (more persuasion and less hard sell) and engage with your prospects and customers to build trust so that you remove all friction to a “YES – I will buy from you” decision.

     

    The trainer will share with you some universal principles you can apply to help you attract more customers to your business across all industries.

    #1) Business and Personal Branding as a Magnet to Attract Customers

    Gary Vaynerchuk said this - if you are not leveraging on social media for yourself, you are going to lose out to other competitors.

     

    If you are not putting yourself out there on LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram, you are going to be irrelevant.

     

    We will walk you through actionable steps and know-hows to develop your business and personal brand so that you can attract more customers into your business.

    #2) Leverage Persuasion to Attract Customers

    In this session, I will share with you why and how famous brands like Coke persuade customers like you to buy their product.

    Case Studies : How I use persuasions to help companies bring in more sales

    I will be sharing some case studies and how I have gotten them results so you can use it for yourself as well. Wisdom is learning and adapting what works for yourself to your own business.

    #3) Trust is the New Currency to Attract Customers

    In this era of fake news and false claims, skepticism is at its all time high.

     

    People are unsure if what you are saying is the truth and they want credibility.

     

    What do they do? They do a Google search, they whatsapp and ask others for your credibility.

     

    How do you make sure that you are credible in eyes of your customers and staff?

    #4) Social Media Honey Pot to Attract Customers

    Bees will naturally fly to honey.

    How do you make use of the 2 main social media honey pot Facebook/Instagram to start promoting your products/services organically and pull in the customers ?

     

    How to effectively use paid advertisement to reach out and attract more customers?

     

    I will share with you what I do and with a history of at least half a million dollars spent in paid advertisement, I can share the secret of what works and what will not.
