For those who have not been involved in marketing, the biggest obstacle to using this method is how to approach customers. , that is, the process by which marketers strive to get customers to meet and understand each other before customers buy goods or receive services. The following methods can be used to approach customers: 1. Distribute promotional materials.

Although advertising media can provide information on many potential customers, marketers also have to spend considerable time sifting, so advertising search methods can only work best when combined with high-tech tools and e-commerce. Third, the central flowering method The so-called central flowering method refers to selecting some influential people in a specific area, making them consumers of products or services, and obtaining their help or cooperation as much as possible. The key to this approach lies in "influencers," those who have influence over those around them because of their status, position, achievements, or personality.


These people are quite persuasive, their influence can radiate in all directions, and have a demonstration effect on the majority of customers, so it is easier to gain the trust of other customers. And these influential figures are often active in business, society, politics, and religion, and they may be respected by others because of their senior financial background or high moral character, so it is especially effective if they can get their recommendation.

Because potential clients who didn't have time on the first day can catch up on the second day. 3. The speeches at the seminar should be of professional level, and should be equipped with a good visual environment and high-quality auditory equipment. 4. The detailed information of the participants shall be recorded. Personal data can be obtained through a short questionnaire.

And the timing of the call on this occasion has to grasp a certain proportion. Although telemarketing is one of the important ways to reach out to the public, because it works through a non-physical voice, it is difficult to have strong persuasion, so the success rate is lower than that of traditional face-to-face sales. Eight, letter search method The so-called letter search method refers to the direct mailing of letters to find potential customers, which is one of the more effective marketing methods. The use of letter search method should pay attention to: 1. It is best to write letters in a private name, and the most important thing is to find out the names of potential customers. 2. It is best to autograph at the end of the letter to show respect and attention to the other party. 3. Important selling points or information are listed in the "postscript" at the end of the letter, because this is the most frequently read place. 4. Try to persuade customers to take immediate action. Such as discounts or discounts on orders before a certain date, rewards and gifts for the first 100 respondents, guaranteed delivery dates, free trials, and more. The advantage of this method is that it covers a wide area and involves a large number of customers, but due to the low return rate, its cost is relatively high and the waiting time is long. Nine, the data query method The so-called data query method refers to the method of obtaining potential customers by consulting various data. These available materials include newspapers, publications, directories and telephone directories. Newspapers are one of the important clues for mining potential customer information. For example, the opening of a new company provides an opportunity for the sale of office equipment and furniture; birth or marriage provides a possible need for insurance, and so on. The sales leads provided by newspapers are endless, the key is whether the sales staff can dig out the sales opportunities behind the information. Business phone books and directories are another great source of potential customer information. There are also a variety of public information available for inquiries, which can also provide salespeople with certain clues about potential customers. Although this method can obtain information about market capacity and potential customers faster and at a lower cost, it is less time-sensitive. 10. Observation method The so-called observation method refers to the method that marketers use to find potential customers through their own analysis and judgment of the surrounding environment. For example, real estate agents can go out in person to find homes with the word "for sale" hanging on the front door; salespeople who sell ceilings can observe who's ceiling is broken down the street, and so on. At the same time, as a marketer, you should always maintain a certain sensitivity to overheard information, especially in some public places, such as eating, shopping and leisure places. This method has the advantages of low cost, but it has relatively high requirements on the observation ability and analysis and judgment ability of marketers, and requires the judgment to be as objective as possible. In addition to the above ten methods, you can also obtain relevant information from friends and acquaintances and other salespeople who do not have a competitive relationship, and you can also obtain materials through trade shows. In short, finding potential customers is a arduous process, and marketers need to use a combination of the above methods and techniques to achieve ultimate success.
