Add You - A Free Way To Explode Your eBay Business- Customer Service
A good service manager candidate for an automotive shop would really be the technician who knows a lot about the motor vehicle but has been able to mentally switch gears and now learn how to sell the knowledge he posses and the knowledge and services his team will provide. I am adamant about the knowledge part as I feel that the customer from the very first contact requires guidance right away when recommending service. Example being the other day I interviewed a person whom wanted to service manage and he after a few questions seemed credible but revealed to me that
Little Touches
Have you ever thought about including little special touches with the items you send out? If you haven’t you might want to give it a try. This can help build your customer loyalty. There is no hard and fast rule here or any one size fits all type of product that you can include. This is really dependent on the type of products you sell. However including a little thank you not
What does reinvent mean and when should you consider it? Not when profits are down or when your cash flow is dangerously low. By then it is too late. Businesses often under-perform even though the cash seems to be flowing and the profitability is just OK. You aren't doing as well as you did or as well as you should be doing. Things change. The premises and assumptions, upon which you built your business, change. The mission of the business changes. In some instances, small business owners try to change but they do it incrementally, often after the fact. The time to rei
Running a profitable ebay business is really not that different then operating a bricks and mortar type of store at least in the realm of customer service needs. It is important to think about ways that you can improve the customer service of your business. What are things you can do to build repeat customers? Think of ways to provide great customer service and develop a loyal following for your business. This is the best way to build your business with very little expense. Below are some ideas that can help brand your business and improve customer loyalty.
Start An Ezine
Do you sell in a niche area that people would like to learn more about? For example if you were an antique toy collector and sold old toys your customers might enjoy learning more about the toys you sell. The best way to build your business would be to publish an ezine and provide them with quality content. This sets you up as an expert and as a friend. By providing quality content and information to your customers you will perceived as a dedicated seller and not just someone trying to unload all of the junk in their garage. Another great thing about an ezine is you can always add a commercial plug mixed in with your content. Be careful and do this only occasionally, however it can really pay off. For example why not start a weekly ezine? It is pretty simple to write two or three articles and make a friendly newsletter that is information packed for your customers. At the bottom of the newsletter or ezine highlight some of the auctions you have up for the week. This is a great way to build your customer service and get more visitors to your auction listings.

Farmers, as opposed to hunters, must be much more patient. Rather than waiting for a day or two to bring home the bacon (or venison), a farmer must wait an entire season to bring in the bread. However, where as the hunter must go back out and hope he didn’t shoot the last of the game available (or scare them all off), the farmer can replant every year and get a whole new harvest.In network marketing, there is a technique that is often passed on from upline to downline called the 3-foot rule. What this means is that anyone within 3 feet of a networker should hea

When sports franchise executives convene in virtual boardrooms to discuss corporate sponsorship packages, the conventional dialogue revolves around quantity, not quality. Ironically, the teams who stand to benefit the most have a propensity to persevere the least in terms of maximizing added value for clients. Large-market franchises are routinely inundated with countless requests for sponsorships, but they fail to satisfy existing clients.While sports executives undermine the saliency of giving sponsors the biggest bang for their buck, corporate constituencies

An “affiliate” is a business that sells them products or services of another business, called a “merchant”, via a link on the affiliate’s website. When a sale take place, the affiliate receives a commission.Affiliate business is popular because it is performance-based; merchants with affiliate programs incur promotional costs, in the form of commissions, only when sales are made. By comparison, sellers that promote their products or services via ads, TV commercials, direct mail and the like, pay for these marketing costs whether or not the media is successful in

Predictive dialers are many steps removed from their predessors, the automatic dialers of the past. Whereas automatic dialing allowed callcenter agencies to dial numbers quickly and efficiently, predictive dialing also processes and makes use of a whole range of information, linking callers to live voices every single time. In fact, with predictive dialing, agents' 'talk time' has increased from an average of twenty minutes per hour to fifty minutes per hour. This is a fabulous rate of improvement - instead of wasting more than half of their time on listening to busy sig

There is no hard and fast rule here or any one size fits all type of product that you can include. This is really dependent on the type of products you sell. However including a little thank you note or business card can really build loyal customers. For a while I was including a fun post card with each shipment. I live very close to Los Angeles and the famous California beaches and I would often collect postcards. I started throwing them in with the packages I was sending out. People just love to get something for free even if it is only a small gift. If you don’t think you can afford anything like that then make a thank you card on your computer and send it. It really depends on the items that you sell and what you have available but if you think about it there is something that can be included in every package to easily increase customer loyalty and service.
Follow Up
One of the biggest mistakes many eBay sellers make is not following up with customers. Don’t let more then 12 hours pass from when you close the auction to the first time you contact them. Also strive to respond to all of your emails within a day, don’t let product questions or after sales questions build up in your email in box.
Add A Personal Touch
There are so many programs out there now that can automate your entire auction business. Most of the time these are great tools to use and if you plan on achieving Power seller status you will need something to track and automate some of the features and day to day tasks of the business. However, if you are supplied with stock email templates or other set emails modify them. Try to always add a personal touch and flair to your communication with customers.
There are so many other ways to create customer loyalty and brand your ebay business. The ideas above just begin to scratch the surface of what is possible. However hopefully they spur on some of your own ideas. If not do not stress over it just let the idea mull over in your head a few days and something will pop out when you least expect it.
