Increase Your Orders By Answering Questions

By Kim and Charles Petty


People will contact your customer service to ask questions about your business or products. Did you know you can increase your orders by training your customer service to actually sell products?

You should include your signature file with all the questions you answer by e-mail. Your signature file should be no longer than 5 lines, 65 characters per line. Include your contact information, business name and an attention getting headline.

Tell people about the new products and services that you offer after you're done answering their question(s) by phone. If they have already bought products from you in the past, offer them add-on or backend products.

If you're using FAQ "Frequently Asked Questions", include your banner ad on top of your FAQ site. You could also include a subscription form for your free e-zine on the site as well.

When you answer peoples questions by snail mail, include an insert advertisement for the products or services your business offers. Include your web site address, e-mail address, logo, slogan and other information on all marketing material you send.
