FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) January 11, 2010 -- Washington, DC – As one of the many benefits of the National Small Business Alliance, (NSBA) a company that “Helps Small Businesses Succeed”, Members can get free advice on ways to increase sales in 2010 by focusing on current customers. One of the easiest ways to make more money is often overlooked – getting your present customers to buy more of your products and services.

“Shifting your sales focus to market to your current customers makes excellent economic sense in today’s ever-changing market”, said Dennis Mario, NSBA President & CEO. “It’s vital to attract new customers, but since your current customers are already converted prospects, it just good business to get them to buy more”.

A small business owner can increase sales dramatically by setting up a marketing strategy to entice their proven customers to buy more and again. “The best sales prospect is a prospect that’s already a customer”, Mario continues. “Show your current customer that you value them and their business and they will become loyal long-time customers. Encourage your sales staff to upsell by persuading your customers with the benefits of what you are selling, at a perceived value unlike any other”.

Ultimately, upselling involves adding related products and services to your line and making it convenient and necessary for your customer to buy them. Give your sales staff a reason to get out there and sell, sell, sell by offering them prizes, gifts or commission. Set up a sales incentive program that is simple and attainable.
