Boosting Sales for Beginners

by Paul Williams

Ah... "Drive Sales." Is there a company that doesn't have 'sales driving' as a key strategy?


It can't be much simpler than a choice of three levers.

1. Find New Customers
   
   • Create a New Market with a new product or service, or
     
   • Go deeper with your existing targets
   
   
2. Increase Frequency - Get existing customers to use your business more often.


3. Increase Average Ticket - Get existing customers to spend more when they use your business.

While simple doesn't mean easy. It helps to know that these are your three launching points.

When choosing one - or perhaps all three - of these strategies. The next step is to ask "How?"

• How can I find new customers?
  
• How can I get existing customers to come more often?
  
• How can I get them to buy more?

From these base questions will branch new, potential solutions.
