A sale is the first step to increasing your sales, not the last. Providing good after-sales service shows your customers you want to build a long-term relationship with them, earn their loyalty and keep their business.
Many successful businesses use after-sales service strategies to consolidate sales, build customer relationships and grow their profits. Providing after-sales service keeps your customers coming back to you and encourages them to refer your business to others.
After-sales service includes what you do at the point of sale, including your customer service and selling techniques. It also includes how you follow up after the customer has left, such as providing follow-up contact and effectively dealing with complaints.
This guide highlights the importance of after-sales service and explains customer service techniques that will help you build better relationships with your customers.
