Getting leads and finding new buyers is great, but businesses grow when they retain their clients, especially in the long run. To form such profitable relations with buyers, you need to always go a step further than most distributors would go. Following are a few common ways to retain buyers:
Sellers should have a dedicated employee to discuss the common sourcing needs of buyers and provide personalized solutions accordingly. In most cases, what is more important than offering your products or services is to have a good discussion about their objectives and build a two-way relationship. Once you form a strong full bond, the chances of getting repeat orders increase significantly. When contacting them, you should not be like one of those salespersons who are selling their products. Instead, it should sound like you are helping them get closer to their objectives.
With all the B2B marketplace, the number of your direct competitors is endless. There are thousands of sellers that offer a similar product to yours, and some may be even selling for lower prices. In such a market, the best way to stand out is to provide additional services. Such services can include after-sales, employee training, repair, and other services. Of course, these elements are an additional expense, but if you compare it with the new buyer acquisition cost, such service expenses would always be much lower. Not only that, but it will also create a strong reputation in the current industry.
Showing some flexibility on the credit terms is one of the biggest favors a supplier can make, especially when a business is not financially stable. When companies always have multiple sellers to choose from, they prefer to go with suppliers who can be with them even in difficult times. Thus, to make a profitable relationship with buyers that can last, you need to be with them in all of their ups and downs, too. Or else, it would not take them long to switch them to your competitors whose supply capabilities are similar to yours. The major chunk of suppliers also charges slightly higher for selling products with flexible credit terms, and you can do it, too.
You can make sourcing easier for your buyers by supplying them with more than one type of product. Especially if your clients are working on a large-scale project, you should surely ask them about their procurement requirements to understand how you can help them in the future. The key factor that can help you win centralized procurement contracts is to have a rich history of maintaining a certain quality consistently. It also minimizes the risk of disputes between buyers and sellers.
