How to DOUBLE Your Repeat Sales by Saying This

Expert Author Wesley B Murph

If you own and operate a small business then chances are you already know that the name of the game is REPEAT SALES. How come? Because as you also know getting a new customer can be expensive (really expensive), and oftentimes that first sale you make to the new customer barely breaks even, or in some cases even loses money.

So what?

Well, all this means you must do everything in your power to keep your current customers happy, and buying more from you. But how do you do this? There are many ways. And in fact, we'll talk about a few of them including what you can say to stimulate repeat sales in your small business.

This single sentence is in fact so powerful (and yet so simple) that darn near any business, especially if you sell a service, can use it to sell more. And what's even better is the fact that this word is very pleasing to your customers, so they never feel forced into buying more.

Let me tell you how this came about:

I owned and operated a very successful business, in an ultra-competitive nice. It was so competitive I could throw a stone from my front door and hit not one... but two of my competitors.

As it turns out, I eventually put both of my competitors out of business thanks in large part to all the small business marketing strategies I had going to drive my business.

Like:

1. Client newsletter.

2. Sales letter.

3. Postcard newsletter.

4. Autoresponder on my website.

5. High Google ranking on my website.

6. Video marketing.

7. Email marketing.

8. Referral marketing.

And many more small business marketing strategies to name.

But there was one thing I did which single handedly kept my schedule full for 2 years. This was a particular question I had all of my staff ask every customer while they were paying, which got them coming back to my business again.

Did it work all the time?

No. Nothing is perfect.

But it sure did work plenty. And my jam-packed schedule was living proof.

So what is that question?

"Which day would you like to reschedule your next appointment, Monday or Wednesday?"

Notice I did not say when... or... would you... what about.

I said which day.

This is a very small difference that makes all the difference. Why? Because the words which day imply that the customer is already going to reschedule their next appointment so all that needs to be done next is figuring out the day.

Saying this can double your repeat sales in a very short time, especially if you sell a service that should be re-booked.
