Dealing with the Discerning Customer
by Scott F. Geld

Customers do not trust marketing anymore. They are
suspicious and often feel angry and harassed by many
marketing techniques. Many customers always feel they are
about to be "scammed" or tricked in some way. Others just
feel that advertising and marketing techniques are annoying
and they tend to toss them without a second thought.
When marketing your product you have so many options open
to you. These choices are great for the marketer but make
getting it right even harder. The more marketing that
customers receive, the more likely they are to shut down
and not to pay attention.
People now have a huge amount of knowledge and information
available to them. They can check prices online and gather
information on all sorts of products; they do not have to
choose yours.
If you are marketing to these people, you have to be really
good. You have to really play all your cards right to have
success. They don't want some cheesy advertisement. They
want you to show them why they should buy your product over
some other company's. they want to feel they can trust you
and believe in you.
Not only do customers want information but they also want
to feel valued and that you understand their needs. Tell
them why individually they will benefit from your product,
appeal to their emotional senses. Train your staff to do
the same.
You also need to provide the proper customer service
information. Your customers should feel they can reach
someone easily at any time if they have questions or
concerned. They should be met with nice and friendly service
with a smile and sales reps or customer service reps should
be informative on the product.
There is nothing worse than a picky customer meeting a sales
rep that can't answer their questions. Not only will you not
make a sale, but you will probably get negative word of
mouth exposure. So take the time to treat the customer like
their special. Take time to market to them properly. Do all
of these things and you will see your sales soar.
