Exceed Expectations

Meeting customer expectations is good, but surpassing them is great! Going above and beyond the call of duty is sure way of guaranteeing customer satisfaction. Satisfied customers become loyal customers. What does that mean for you? Repeat business and free word of mouth advertising! Word of mouth advertising, as I’m sure you know, is absolutely invaluable to any business, but especially invaluable to small businesses like yours.

Worried about how to go above and beyond? Don’t be! You don’t need to be a rocket scientist. In fact, exceeding customers’ expectations is actually quite simple. The secret is to think like a customer. Think back to a time when you were overjoyed by a shopping experience. Maybe you received a great gift with purchase, free shipping, or a coupon for an awesome discount off your next order. Maybe a customer service representative was extremely helpful when you contacted them to address your concerns about their product or service. Keep these images in your mind as you go through your business day and while creating marketing campaigns. Consider what little “extra” you can offer customers.

Build Credibility

Who would you rather buy from: a seller with no feedback, no guarantees, and no passion or one with positive feedback, a money-back guarantee, and a love for their products? The first one, right? Of course not! Feedback, guarantees, and passion all play a part in building a successful drop ship business on eBay.

Positive feedback is essential for success, because it shows customers that a seller takes their business seriously. If you are new to selling on eBay, you may want to consider becoming a buyer first or at least simultaneously buying and selling. As a buyer, you gain knowledge of how eBay works and customer expectations, and build positive feedback. Good feedback assures buyers that a seller is trustworthy – they hold up their end of the deal. Show customers your true colors by building amazing feedback that speaks volumes.

Have you ever noticed that auctions listings with a money-back guarantee end with higher bids? It’s true! Offering a money-back guarantee shows customers that you have faith in your products. You know the products are high-quality, so offering a money-back guarantee is a no-brainer.

Before you adopt a no returns policy, you better think twice. This type of policy does more damage than good. You work hard to gain customers. Why would you want to turn them away when they aren’t completely satisfied? No return policies kill repeat business. If a customer receives a flawed product or a misrepresented one, should they have to eat the cost? Only if want to lose customers and receive negative feedback. Remember to put yourself in your customer’s shoes and always assume the best.

Passion and enthusiasm are contagious. Why? They stir up excitement. Let your passion for your products show. Stir up excitement to receive more bids and land more sales. Write sales copy that entices buyers to bid now. Tell potential customers why your products are so great. Let customers know how your products fit into their lifestyle. Sell the benefits, advantages, and luxuriousness of the products – these are key selling points.

Last but not least, be available. When a bidder or buyer contacts you, respond in a timely manner – the faster, the better. Be courteous, professional, and knowledgeable to boost your credibility and trustworthiness as a seller.
