How to get new business from old clients

How to get new business from old clients

Many businesses are so focused on bringing in new clients that they forget about the old ones, and potentially cost themselves repeat sales.

So here are four ways to maintain relationships with your existing clients and get more business from them:

1. Track client behaviour and buying patterns

What problem did you solve for your client that made them use your services? Read More

2. Market to old clients, not just new ones

Marketers agree that It costs more to acquire a new customer than to retain an existing customer, with estimates ranging from five times more to 25 times more. Read More

3. Engage with unhappy clients

If your clients are unhappy with your service, it’s often a good idea to accept responsibility, even if your business isn’t at fault. Read More

4. Keep in touch with your clients

Maintain regular contact with your clients by writing newsletterssocial media posts and blogs. Content marketing is a great way to remind clients you’re still in business and just as knowledgeable as ever. Your content can be a mix of interesting news stories, valuable tips and information about your business. For example, if a buyer’s agent specialising in Sydney wrote a newsletter, they could include:
  • An article on the pros and cons of buying a unit instead of a house in Sydney
  • An article on Sydney’s vacancy rate and how it affects investors
  • An article explaining why they buy only in certain parts of Sydney
  • A special offer
Even if a reader didn’t intend to buy another property soon and so couldn’t use the special offer, the other information would be valuable enough for them to keep subscribing. This gives the buyer’s agent a low-cost opportunity to keep marketing their services until the investor decides to buy another property. It also increases the chances of the buyer’s agent getting referral business – which means the buyer’s agent gets free marketing.
