Customer Acquisition: Alternative Strategies in Sales
Because the distribution is actually “only” the bridge between suppliers and customers , and this bridge rests on two pillars:
- On the positioning of the company WITHIN
- In the interest of customers and general market conditions outside the company
Does not one of the two pillars enough attention quickly the wrong marketing strategy is chosen.
In today’s market, sales are often viewed as one-sided “customer acquisition”. A distinction is made in the course of the marketing strategy then the only way to win the customer, for example:
- Directly
- Indirectly
- Online
- Multi Level Marketing
- On recommendations
- Using multipliers, etc.
I would like to point out the practical experience of old and new approaches here an alternative scenario.
Following the procedure described above seeks the customer from the provider, and providers must compete for customers. What if the provider is the customer chooses, he wants to sell?Attractive? This requires a new reflection on the company potential, and the distribution channel is selected after the result of this approach.
If the company or the entrepreneur chooses, to whom he sells, it is called positioning. The following questions must be answered:
- I work with what customers like?
- What can I offer this customer?
- What problem do I solve the customer?
- What problem am I solving UNLIKE OTHER (not better!)?
- What special group of my customers I can serve it best?
- Why does the customer have that product or service necessarily work for me?
- Where can I find these special customers for this particular performance?
- How can I describe the customers in your language, what they have of my performance?
Now I’m ready. I stand as a company or contractor is no longer in competition, because I offer something special that no other offer. I know the needs of my clients work, enjoy working with them, and know where I find my clients, and how do I explain to them in their language, what I have to offer.
Now I can choose the best communication channel, whether via the Internet or directly, as when customers hear from me, they want to buy my product. It’s not about winning customers, but selective distribution of information, products and services.
Customer acquisition in this context means neither that I fight to the customers, that I still fight the competition, but that I would know who I am and what I am doing well, who are my customers. And so suddenly sit customer and supplier in the same boat, and implement joint projects to solve problems. That leads to satisfied customers, satisfied sellers and satisfied employers.

Simple steps to keeping your customers
At the end of the day all customers or clients want the same thing. They want to feel special, valued, and important to your business, and if you can accomplish that, you’re almost guaranteed customer loyalty. There are many different ways to implement this type of marketing to your brand; you just have to find one that fits your product or service and helps you stand out in the minds of your clients. From something as simple as an appointment postcard mailed to your home from your vet, dentist or doctor, Christmas or Birthday cards to higher end offices that offer door hanger bags with the clients name on them for storage of personal items during their visit. Some companies give out pens or tape mints to their invoices, one company I know of even sends its delivery driver out with small packages of homemade cookies for their clients. Those special little touches may not seem like a lot, nor do they necessarily require a great deal of effort, however, those extra steps that you take will go a very long way in the customer goodwill department.
Why would they ever think of going elsewhere if they’re treated so well at your business? Short answer – They wouldn’t.
Paypal Alternatives & Payment processors !
There are lots of alternatives to paypal but you can’t compare the quality and usability of paypal with any other payment processor in the world . Alomot 70% of the people use to prefer payment by paypal as its the safest and widely used methord for online payment transfer . However, with the development of online shopping trend lots of companies are investing in this business as well . There could be lots of alternative but some of them are famous and I am going to discuss little bit about them .
MoneyBookers :
The payment processer which is powered by Moneybookers Ltd. is one of the famous payment processor and most of the people use this payment processers along with the paypal , Most of the moneybookers users belong to the countries where there is no paypal available as moneybookers provide services in lots of places as compared to paypal , that’s the reason why Moneybookers got familiarity in less time . Moneybookers is available in lots of Asian Countries where paypal is not available and people have no other payment processor available other than MoneyBookers .
2CO : 2CO is another third party network which provide solutions for ecommerce , mainly it provide you the secure gateway to sell your prodects online using their stores , the good thing about the network is its highly secured and you can have hundreds of thousand productive buyer through their stores . They provide you all kind of payment solutions and its a very good alternative to paypal as they let you sell your products and manage all kind of payment systems for you .
Plimus:
Plimus is just like 2CO , the only difference is its free to signup while in 2CO you have to pay initial setup charges for making an account , I know that sucks but because of high security and 24/7 support lots of people use 2CO network . Plimus is good as compared to 2CO but the only problem in this network is that, its support sucks . As their services are free so you can’t trust the quality of service . Most of the people report about delayed response from the customer services which goes negative about them .
All the above threepayment processors are good alternative to PayPal and you can use anyone of them for high end online setup of your eCommerce website . To be on safe side lots of people use these network for their eCommerce site as security is the main concern over internet and they are the best in their services . I hope you will like the article !
Message From Finance Hype's CEO !
It is now a little more than a week since I arrived to Finance Hype as a new CEO .
As I am new to this company, it is obvious that I have a lot to learn about the culture, the market, the existing and potential customers, the competitors, the organization, and the business opportunities. I therefore count on your advices, guidelines, and insights to shorten my learning curve.
Beside the South west office, I have already visited Finance Hype’s operations in all regions and had the opportunity to have fruitful discussions with quite a few of you at these three locations regarding both our internal and external realities.
Thanks to your great contribution and dedication, Finance Hype has had fantastic track record during the past few years. Despite these achievements and despite the enormous potential that there is still out there, Finance Hype is under quite some pressure due to the global recession and other factors in the market. The market is getting tougher and we have both top-line and bottom-line challenges to face.
In the short term, this will trigger an adjustment to the structure of the Finance Hype and reevaluating our ways of working to quickly adapt to the prevailing conditions in the market. This requires wholehearted support from every one of you to actively contribute to Cost Obsession efforts where you shall consider the cost consequences of every single activity that you plan and you do while keeping your commitments to deliver your tasks and striving for Operational Excellence. Soon, I will discuss these ways with you in order to build strength through a shared vision.
As a new Finance Hype’s Head, I am sure many of you are wondering what I will bring to Finance Hype and what kind of management you can expect. I would therefore like to share some of my thoughts regarding my view on our “ways of working”.
What you can expect from me, as a person, is the following:
- Loyalty to the company
- Energy
- Transparency & Communication
- Open Door Culture
- Discipline
- Team player
- Integrity & Dignity
What you can expect from me, as an Finance Hype’s leader, is:
- The same as you can expect from me, as well as ….
Finally, as I am sure you all know, there are no short cuts or magic formulas to success – only hard work!
Thank you for your valuable time.
