Customers don’t like to be tied down with

a single option. Make sure you give them

several options to choose from, but not

too many so as to make a choice difficult.

I’m sure we’ve all been in situations where we

received slow service and vowed never to do

business with that company again, right? This

applies to the service YOU provide as well. Always

be prompt. It shows that you value the customer’s

time.

Customers like to do business with people who

know what they’re talking about! Make sure you

are well-versed in the product or service BEFORE

you try to sell the customer on it. Nobody likes to

deal with an incompetent salesperson.
