Businesses of all sizes need new customers. Your company's marketing plan helps you approach these potential clients and ask them to spend money on the products you are offering. Even  if the potential customer fits the targeted profile, he might not become a client. To make a sale, you must prepare extensively, develop a detailed plan for your customer visit and execute your plan professionally.

1-Assemble all the latest information on the products you are selling.

2-Study your product information in terms of what the customers of your target market find important. Identify the features the targeted customer will find interesting.

3-Study the new customers you are going to approach. Make sure you know if they have problems with existing suppliers or are looking for new providers. Identify your first contact; if you are approaching a company, look for details about the contact's position and authority.

1-Decide who you are going to ask for business. Call companies and verify that your contact handles orders and suppliers in your field of activity. For individual sales, make sure the person you talk to is the decision maker in the household.

2-Develop a list of your company's strengths in the new customers' market segment. Make a list of actual needs for each new customer and add potential needs that you think might be appropriate for the client.

3-For each new customer, prepare a strategic approach that matches the actual and potential needs with one of the strengths of your company

1-Make the appointment with your potential new customer. Arrive at the agreed-upon location early and dressed well but appropriately for your industry.

2-Introduce your company as a potential supplier by executing your strategy of emphasizing the advantages that correspond to the client's needs. Provide documentation that substantiates your company's capabilities.

3-Conclude the meeting by asking for a commitment. If the client is not ready to order, ask when she might decide to place an order. Make sure you leave with an agreement on the next step, whether it is the timing for a decision or a date when you will call back.

4-Send a written note to the client thanking him for his time and reminding him of the next step you agreed to. Make sure to take that next step unless it is clear that this customer has no interest in placing an order.

Usually first time customers need to be antiquated with the business. It is vital to leave a good impression of the business, anticipate the customer's needs and  familarised with the functionality of the organisation. The level of satisfaction may mean the customer will come again.
