As a seller, it’s your job to anticipate – and answer – any objections your customer may have to buying your product.
Another way of putting this – don’t leave any of your customer’s questions unanswered!
This sounds obvious, but I’m always amazed at how many online sellers don’t do this properly.
Think: inadequite descriptions lacking crucial detail.
Think: product photos that don’t show all aspects and details of a product.
Think: policies that don’t clearly lay out returns policies and ‘lost mail’ policies.
In today’s episode, I discuss why this matters, how it’s costing you sales, and how to fix it.
