Lightning Round: Top 10 Ways to Retain Customers
Question: Sierra from Toronto, Canada asks, “I am in equipment financing sales and in the last year we have grown a lot— some organic, most through acquisition. While this has been exciting, it feels like the demands on us as salespeople are doing nothing but expanding. I used to be focused on mostly new sales, but now they wants us to find new business, grow existing accounts and above all keep our retention rates high. How am I supposed to do all that?”

Lightning Round: Top 10 Ways to Increase the Value You Give to Customers
Question: Davis Brow from Chicago asks, “My clientele is civil construction, which is very seasonal in the Midwest. When I follow up too much, I risk being annoying. When I try to give them time & space, it becomes easier to forget about their need for our service. In addition to better discovery, do you have any advice on best practices for following up after a proposal is sent? I've looked for books on the topic and nothing has caught my eye. Since I've struggled to find solutions on my own, I assumed I should ask the experts. You and Mark always have sound advice on all things sales.”

Lightning Round: Top 10 Strategies to Build Your Personal Brand
Question: Donna from Asheville NC asks, “I have a salesperson who is a rockstar when it comes to setting appointments. She is definitely talking to our target market - many of the prospects know her name. They all seem excited to talk, and then they don't show up. It's maddening because the schedule is so busy right now, that setting time for those calls is even a challenge - and then we have to reschedule. And yes - we send confirmation emails and even phone calls. But just today, two people didn't show up and one of them was an inbound lead! Any ideas?”
