SheKnows’ Post

The anatomy of a 💩 sale... If I wanted to sell less this is what I would do... 😄 Our customer walks into the store, eyes bright and full of excitement ready to start their journey on the road to finding their dream product I quickly take the wind out of their sales by saying "Are you ok there?". I'm ready to turn on my heels (I know what they're going to say!) Next, I give the customer plenty of room to browse by cleverly hiding away on the opposite side of the shop floor (well out of earshot so that I don't accidentally pick up on any buying signals) chatting about how quiet it's been today with the other salespeople at the desk 😡 But alas! The customer is able to hunt me down and wave me over for some help Luckily for me, I've recently been on a visit to the manufacturer and have plenty of detailed product features up my sleeve to confuse them with... "Our sofas come with a kiln-dried hardwood frame, high-density foam cushions, and are upholstered with our exclusive fabric technology that repels stains and spills. They have a spring suspension system for added durability..." 😵💫 I see it in their eyes, they're about to give up hope... ...but no! Somehow they're still interested! They're asking questions and giving me plenty of useful information that I didn't ask for... ❗️They're giving the whole living and dining rooms an overhaul ❗️They know the colour scheme and style they want ❗️and they even have a detailed list of all the dimensions on their phone! I feel like Ali on the ropes - they're doing all the hard work for me! But then I hear an opportunity... "We really love it, but we're just going to go away and think about it" 💪 Excellent! I slam the swatch book shut and spring up! It's over and we're already moving towards the door... "Let me give you a print-out of all the information, my business card, brochure...etc etc etc" And off they go, into the distance 👋 Maybe they'll be back or maybe they'll visit another store on the way home... #sales #furniture #terriblesalestips

7 mistakes to avoid when shopping for thrifted furniture

What do you do when the product you’re selling is likely a ‘one & done’ OR such an investment that the client might take a while to get back in contact? I’m in the process of buying house furniture & I’ve noticed a certain charm in a lot of the newer sofa brands versus the long-standing high-street chains. Today I had two boxes of swatches arrive, one simply told me to pop the kettle on & decide, the other? Well, they gave me a sachet of hot chocolate to facilitate sticking my feet up & mulling over my choices. Sometimes putting words into action and sending something as simple as a hot chocolate may just leave you in the mind of the buyer for a little longer… #branding #clientretention #clientexperience
