How to sell a service

Selling a service

Selling a service is very different than selling a product. Remember these steps when selling a service.

Things You'll Need

• A service
• Honesty
• Credentials
• Innovation

Instructions

1. First and foremost always be honest with the customer you are selling your service to. Trust will go a long way to making your service sell itself.

2. 

   Give first time customers an incentive to try your service. For example, give them the service at a discounted price for a certain number of times. Let them see that what you are offering is worth their money.

3. Be innovative in the way you sell your service. People respond to things that are different from the norm.

4. Show examples of your service and how useful it can be. Provide the prospective customer with a reason to give your service a try.

5. Be specific about what the customer will get from service. The more information you give the customer the better chance you have of them trying your service (as long as your service is good).

6. Always follow up with the customer after you have completed their service and see what can be done better the next time. People love a company that is always working to make their service better.

Tips & Warnings

• Answer all questions thoroughly that the customer has about your service.

• Don't be pushy at all, it will turn off the customer.
