Turning Leads Into Sales: 6 Tricks You Ought to Master

Are you tired of not being able to close prospects that come your way? Are you looking to convert more leads into sales? If yes, you’ve come to the right place.

In today’s ever-competitive business environment, you cannot just dump your leads into the sales funnel and expect them to be converted into paying customers automatically. You need to go above and beyond to ensure that their conversion experience is compelling so they can convert faster.

While there’s no magic bullet to sprucing up your leads to sales ratio, the following 6 trade tricks are tried and true.

1. Put your A Players on the Job — Recruit and Train them Accordingly

The first step in converting more leads to sales is to round up your star players. Needless to say, you need to hire a marketing team, sales reps, and digital team who are motivated to deliver more and succeed. Oftentimes that means having a staff that possesses the flexibility and perseverance with the capacity to empathize with the prospects.

When it comes to the marketing team, you should pick creative individuals who pay attention to detail so they can entice the leads. But that isn’t all; you also need to induct and train your marketing and sales teams accordingly. What’s more – in-depth understanding of your beauty & skin care products/services and brand allows your teams to communicate with leads without much hassle.

2. Offer Incentives

Offering an incentive is a no-brainer tactic if you want to convert more leads to sales. After all, every retailer, including your competition, is giving out freebies. As such, providing your prospects with a free gift, steal deal or an attractive time-sensitive discount is a sure-fire way to entice leads to convert. Remember the discount does not have to be ridiculously big; it’s often the gesture that makes all the difference.

3. Communicate the Benefits of the Product/Service to the Prospect

Once you have the attention of the prospect, you may want to dangle the famed ‘return-on-investment carrot’. Put otherwise, how does your product help improve your prospect’s ROI? Remind your lead that you’re offering a solution that will change his or her life in one way or the other.

4. Ask for It

Sometimes being point blank can do wonders for your lead conversion. That’s right; you can ask directly for the sale — and see how it magically turns into a ‘yes.’ Well, if you don’t ask for it, your competition will.

5. Create a Helpful FAQ Page on Your Site

Not many retailers know the importance of creating a compelling and resourceful FAQ page. It’ll not only boost your site SEO, but it also helps your customers find the right information when they need it. The trick is to make it a collaborative task that brings together input from all departments, from HR to customer care to the sales team

6. Create a Killer Email Marketing Strategy

It’s highly likely that your leads are being courted by your competition as well. That’s why you need to do a bang-up job on your email marketing, making sure it stands out in a sea of competition. It can be anything, from a simple follow-up to a fully-fledged marketing pitch.

Turning more leads to sales is no picnic. With the following handy tips, we hope you can take your lead conversion to the next level.
