Referrals, of all the ways to receive new opportunities, have the highest conversion rates and have the greatest chance of converting into a sale.
By Audrey Odell, chief executive, Onefit Software.That’s great if you sell the same products over and over again, but much tougher in the fast-paced commercial markets of today, which are driven by innovation, change and evolving products, techniques and processes.
It’s a numbers game, successful marketing and selling on-line has lower conversion rates, but the volume of opportunities is much higher. So there is opportunity for sales, which hopefully then leads to referrals, making it the best of both worlds.
Be warned, though, that following online sales, customer service becomes a major factor.
