Communications with a view of commercial development - very specialised area. When I was the adviser of bank basing private banks on all country, one of the first things which I have made after signing of the contract with bank, should sit down and consider all written parts of communications sent to clients, prospects, and strangers.
The purpose of the letter of commercial development consists in creating prospects. The purpose of the commercial letter consists in selling to your company and its products to prospects. The majority of dealers confuses two. They - two separate letters.
Dealers think, that the letter of commercial development sells products. It does not do... At least, effective do not do. Instead of this letter of commercial development sell probability and reputation. Letters of commercial development force people to wish to hear about your products (sales then are reached through commercial letters).
The majority of dealers of bank with which I worked, did not understand that the simple fact. I have thought it, the majority of dealers does not understand the purpose of sales against letters of commercial development. Even the most tempted dealers of bank in New York, San Francisco, Dallas and Chicago did not understand. They thought, that commercial development and commercial letters were the same thing. They not.
The first and key rule of communications of commercial development is: the addressee of the letter not prospect to whom something can be sold. It or she is a stranger. To become prospect, the answer to effort on commercial development - the letter or commercial inquiry - should be received. If you sell in the mass market, you can make sales to strangers, instead of prospects (developed through inquiries of commercial development and-or the correspondence)..., but it is very expensive effort.
The second rule - that letters of commercial development speak about the addressee and that person’s requires. You establish the probability and receive positive reaction from them, proving, that you know about their requirements.
The commercial letter speaks about your company and your products and as they fill requirements of the client. Commercial letters send to prospects, not strangers. The greatest dealers of an error do, should try and transform letters of commercial development into commercial letters.
The best private banks specialise in the country employment of the client.
Doctors, bookkeepers, lawyers, corporate heads, owners of a small-scale business, businessmen all have been intended for commercial development. We have narrowed the definition of the submitted segments. We had one private banker who satisfied requirements of surgeons only. Another served nehirurgam. The same was true for CPAs, and lawyers … small, independent firms have been processed by one banker.
Employed by the big firms have been processed by other private banker.
Everyone group’s problems is distinguished. Our message to them has been developed to deal with their requirements, not our products. Thus, than more specialised we could be, especially defined we could reach about their requirements. It means, that we could sell more effectively to people at formation by clients.
Many dealers write, that letters of commercial development from prospect of high-quality clients of service can expect from their company. The big shock... The people, especially rich people, qualitative service expects. It not point of commercial development or sale. And, it is very easy to write for the competitor the letter which does by yours a sight enough bad, addressing to requirements of the client (which hints at examination... For which the people, one concordant to pay). If you write the letter of commercial development which speaks in general about your high quality of service, and I write the letter of commercial development which precisely specifies in some of problems with which you deal in yours every day a business life which are done by you think, has the best chance of to be read? Such are advantages of segmentation of the market.
Considering market segmentation, commercial development and sales as clearly various three parts of process are so effective for the companies selling furniture of office or the computer equipment, as it for private banks. Know the segments of the market. Learn that motivates them. With the majority of successful businessmen “time - money”, almost always the motivation factor because the majority of successful people is very occupied.
It is art to write the effective letter of commercial development. It is difficult to explain business advantages which you should offer, speaking about letter’s the addressee … someone you’ve, never the met. The temptation consists in speaking about you and your products - a guaranteed way to throw out the letter. Conversation on them and what they require also your letter, is read.
Letters of commercial development should drip with probability. For example, you on the one hand do not say, that “Your time - money,” and on the other hand to speak, “…, and I’d your office during working hours is pleasant to come to spend for nothing a part of your time.” Instead you say, that time - the person of money, you will be glad to meet them early in the morning, before starts of the working day.
Back in 1980, one of the main New York banks - that which name you easily would recognise - has made a huge advertising campaign for a private banking. The lead line was, “Now, that you’ve has made it, is possible you’re ready to (the Bank Name) a private banking.”
What best way to tell, “We, the big, important bank thinks little bit old, you can be important enough to operate bank with us.” Not precisely theme developed to stroke an ego of the client (and successful people have strong egos). I’m, assured, it has forced bank to feel important.
Final rule of the good letter of commercial development: Be convinced, that it strokes recipient’s an ego, not your own. How you can make it? Count up quantity of times "you", instead of "I" - a subject of all offers. The relation should be 60-40 or 70-30 - in favour of the addressee. |
