New Customers, New Possibilities!
With your Longaberger business, there are countless opportunities to build new customer relationships. Keep in mind that you have three ways to earn, sponsor and connect with your customers:
Face-to-Face
Online
At a Factory Store
Some of the best resources for finding new customers are already part of your everyday business, and if not, you can start now with these ideas:
- Expand your thinking – and your reach – to social and professional networking sites. Are you on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, or Google+? Don’t even know what these are or are afraid to use them? You’re missing out on the biggest networking opportunity of the technology age! Most of these sites have a getting started guide (or ask your kids). Start slowly and deliberately and build your network. Log on to myLongaberger.com, Training & Events, Training, and Technology Tools.
- Get personal in your communications. Try sending a personal letter or email, or making a phone call. These things go a long way in building trust. Stop thinking about people as a potential sale and start thinking about them as potential friends and customers. Create your communications so that they are easy to share and forward on to others. Before you hit send on your communication, ask yourself if you are adding value for your customers.
- Create opportunities at a Factory Store near you. Your local Factory Store is the perfect place to host a customer appreciation event, plan a host shopping travel and tour or simply leave your stamped literature to be shared with prospective customers. All options are a wise investment and create unlimited opportunities for your business. To schedule time at your local Factory Store, call Guest Relations at 740-322-5588.
