Chapter 5 Preview: Make Your First Sale!
So much effort has been put in to get you here, but a business isn't anything without sales! When you start to think about the actual process of providing your product to a customer and getting payment in return, there can be a lot of questions that arise. Following the below guidelines will help ensure both you and your customer have a good initial experience:
- Focus on simplicity. Get a basic product out there and ready.
- Logistics. Where is your product offered, and if you need to transport it, how will that happen?
- Payment Methods. Pick one or two initial payment methods and communicate them to your customers. Cash is always easy and simple.
- Thank your Customer. This is a big deal. Make sure they know you value them.
By following these essentials, you can streamline the process of making your first sale and establish a solid foundation for your business journey. Remember to learn and grow from each sale, adapting based on real customer feedback.
Keep up the great work and continue moving forward in your entrepreneurial endeavors!
