What’s Your Toughest Product Sell?
Share the products your customers are hesitant to buy -- and get tips on how to make the sale.
07.08.2008 — You know the news -- the economy is slow, gas prices are up and production building isn't anywhere near where it used to be.
The luxury market, however, appears to be stable, so if you're engaging in smart business practices, hopefully you're not as down as you could be.
But that doesn't mean running your business is easy. Selling your clients on products that boost your bottom line are crucial to maintaining your profits -- attachment sales like power conditioning, furniture, wire and cable, and recurring revenue streams like alarm contracts and extended warranties.
So when it comes to actually making the sale, we want to know: what's your toughest product sell?
Are you customers hesitant to shell out money for your higher-margin attachment products? Are they willing to pay for the green benefits of home automation and control? Or are they skeptical that they really need or want these products?
Share your toughest product sells in a comment below -- and other CE pros will let you know how they're making the sale.
