3 Simple Ways To Immediately Get More Sales For Your Business

Even if you are consistently smashing those monthly goals, savvy industry leaders always keep looking for ways to add some extra pep to their bottom line’s step. More sales mean you’re doing something right, but when they fall behind, the whole business can begin to wobble. There’s plenty of solutions out there though, but along with being effective, they need to be simple.

For myself, I just can’t bear to add anything that’ll complicate my life one inch further. I’ve got enough on my plate, and there’s no sense adding any extra ingredients to it.

Yet I know how it feels to see a monthly sales goal seemingly slip beyond reach, and it’s easy to get disheartened at such a sight. This can spread to drag the morale of the whole team down, so it’s important to have some tricks up your sleeve if sales start to drag.

Don’t settle and accept an underperforming strategy, take actions that can turbocharge sales and save the bottom line for any business.

Tap Into New Markets (Trust Me, They’re Out There!)

Hopefully, you’ve already realized it, but if not let me reiterate, we all are living in a global market where anyone with a wifi signal is a potential customer.

It’s tempting to stay close to familiar shores with local or regional customers, but if you really want to rev up your sales rate, then it’s time to hit the open seas. There’s limitless potential out there for any e-commerce business, it’s just a matter of casting a wide enough net.

First things first though, you need a compass to determine which direction to go in and help form your internal data insights. Luckily, used by many SMBs, tools like Pipedrive were designed to fulfill precisely this need, and their ability to identify and track qualified leads is the equivalent of virtual gold.

During a recent email exchange with Dominic Allon, CEO of Pipedrive, he shared the following: “Our goal is to support SMBs in their growth efforts. As such, our strengths help support smaller teams with finding quality leads, spending less time on repetitive tasks, and closing deals faster. We’ve succeeded when our customers hit their revenue targets — and quickly.”

It’s all about juicy data these days, and this application presents all the key information in an easily digestible form. Once you know more about your customer’s demographics, you can then target them better with your marketing campaigns for a better return of investment. The kind of guidance Pipedrive provides, for example, helps businesses navigate the endless waters of the web, and make sure sales never go stale for too long.

Add Some Bells And Whistles

Once you’ve found and hooked some new customers with your brand, you need to make sure you have enough products and services for purchase readily available.

A store with only one or two products, even ones that are fantastically designed and presented, can’t hope to hold attention for long. Adding little extras help fill out any website, and when customized with your logo, they also often function as free physical marketing.

There are so many ways businesses can accomplish this fast and easily, simply search for a supplier who has blank products that would complement what your business already offers. Experts predict this kind of print-on-demand strategy will only grow in popularity for nifty businesses with a nimble supply chain strategy.

By adding supplementary products and more choices, your average cart value will grow, and by offering more options you give your customers reason to come back to your business. Each product is a potential social media post, email campaign and more, so you give yourself talking points right alongside more raw sales potential.

There are not many drawbacks to having more products available, and by offering more, you capitalize better on the hard-fought attention you have earned.

Find Influencers And Use Affiliate Marketing

In today’s world, lengthy attention spans are in short supply. It’s not enough just to put forth quality products, even if you have plenty of them. Businesses must stand tall and speak loudly about what makes their brand unique, and do so consistently.

Even that might not be enough to break through the static, which is why one of the most profitable sales strategies of the past few years has been a sort of marketing cooperation between businesses.

Working with influencers relevant to your industry can pump up sales overnight, especially those with a loyal and large follower base. Once they agree to promote your brand, they use a unique affiliate marketing link so they receive a small percent of the sales.

The same strategy can be applied to publications in your industry for reviews or promotions. They receive a fresh piece of content, while you receive a positive introduction to their audience that likely will lead to sales.

Influencers and publications who have built their audience up for years can spur on sales just by giving your business a nod and recommendation. People tend to trust these third-party entities, and seeing your brand’s name pop up on multiple sites might be just the nudge they need to give your products a try.

I’ve seen this strategy work literal magic overnight for sales, the right mention at the opportune time can spur an avalanche of purchases just when you need it most…

It’s that simple and so, so effective.

When sales are down in the weeds, it’s important to keep your chin up and attack the problem head-on. By combining one or more of these techniques into your business strategy, you can shake off the malaise and get back to making more sales for your business than ever before.
