Word of mouth is widely accepted as the most important and effective form of advertising worldwide and it is therefore your best friend
It does not matter what the product or service is, word of mouth seriously sells. Companies today recognise that the most important sales people in their business are their customers. Through periodic surveys many of the worlds top companies assess the strength of their word of mouth by asking customers a simple question ‘would you recommend our products to a friend?’.
The reason why word of mouth is so effective is that referred customers are far more likely to buy than those who have been communicated to via a TV advert, print media, radio or in your case a cold call or meeting. By getting customers referred to you by someone provides the potential customer with an automatic third party testimonial about your business, your products your service and more importantly, about you! For this reason referred new business opportunities are rated much higher than a cold call lead. They are known as warm leads and they are much easier to convert into a sale than a cold lead. By increasing the probability of converting a lead into a sale you can generate more sales in the same amount of time or you create the same level of sales and have more leisure time.
