Quit Making These Marketing Mistakes (That You Didn’t Even Know You’re Making)

Sales can be unpredictable, but learning from common mistakes can help improve your results. Here are seven prevalent errors to recognize and avoid to boost your sales:

7. Failure To Ask How A Prospective Client Found You

Asking, "How did you hear about us?" reveals which advertising methods work best and provides insight into your client’s habits—whether they are browsing blogs or going straight to pricing.

6. Know The Difference Between Enthusiasm And Aggression

While enthusiasm is positive, aggression can be off-putting. Clients may see aggressive behavior as cocky or pushy. Your role is to advocate for your customer, not be a bully.

5. Don't Shy Away From Expensive Solutions

Some problems require higher-priced solutions. Rather than debating prices, focus on clearly communicating the value behind your pricing.

4. Slow Response Time

Respond promptly to inquiries via email, phone, or social media. If real-time replies aren't possible, use automated messages to acknowledge communication and follow up with a personal response ASAP.

3. Failure To Take Advantage Of Mobile Sales

People check their smartphones an average of 46 times daily. Use mobile-friendly tools like eSignatures to close deals anytime and anywhere.

2. Not Updating Your Automated Messages

Keep your automated messages relevant and error-free. Spelling or grammar mistakes reflect poorly on your business.

1. Failure To Give Meaning To Your Statistics

Statistics define your business but must be meaningful to clients. Show how your data helps solve their problems effectively.
