Adding Value to Your Customers Even if They Don't Buy

Following my blog on Add Value, Not Add Work, 2 friends messaged me at facebook asking me to elaborate how we can add value to customers even if they don't buy. Well, we know that if people that don't buy today they may buy tomorrow, and our job in business is to create happy relationships with people. Business will come if you can add value. Just look at how Facebook, Twitter and Youtube created value for over 2.5 billion people and you'll know what I mean.

The following are the Top 6 Ways You Can Add Value to Customers Even When They Don't Buy:

Show them the Pros and Cons of Your Company's Products and Services. Most salespeople shy away from showing people their weaknesses for fear that customers will not buy if they know that. The reverse is true: customers will trust a vendor more if they were to tell first-hand (without being asked) their weaknesses. With trust, business will come.
Show them How to Save Money. Always start with the most value-for-money package that you have and show them how they can achieve savings from your bundling. Like we have a bundle that saves 60% of the course fees (unbelievable but true, you can click here).
Show Concern for them. This is the most obvious and who doesn't want people to show concern for them?
Show them What They Stand to Gain if they Buy from You. Show them the numbers because numbers don't lie and can be inspected easily. For example, we show customers the actual rating from our attendees when they asked 'how good are your programs?'
Show them What They Stand to Lose if they don't buy from You. This will be the hot button that will make customers buy. This is because people are more afraid of losing than gaining. We will be fools if we don't know how to make use of this psychological behaviour.
Give them Love. The 4 ways to give love are: Empathy, Care and Concern, Sympathetic Joy and Equanimity. Details of these will be revealed in our next blog, so remember to give us your email so that you receive our daily messages in your mail box.

The Secret Under the Mattress: Why would a 79-year Man Bet So Big on 4D?

It was 2007 when we discovered his secret. While moving my father’s mattress, we found them: heaps and heaps of Singapore Pools 4D tickets. They were stacked in layers, a paper trail of lost hopes. What shocked us most wasn’t just the volume, but the stakes. He wasn’t betting a few dollars for fun. He was punting hundreds of dollars per draw—nearly ten times a month. At the time, my siblings and I were furious. Our father was a 79-year-old retiree. We wondered, with a mix of anger and confusion, why a man at his stage of life would need to win such "big money." What was he going to do with the money? We saw it as a reckless habit, a sign of poor judgment in his final years. Some of us would say, "If I were to give him money to buy 4D, why don't I use the money and buy 4D myself? At least I have better discipline". It has taken me two decades, and the experience of raising my own three grown-up children, to finally see the truth that was hidden under that matt...

Have You Found Your Sun Yi and Teresa Teng?

I n the long, unfolding history of the Chinese-language music scene, "The Moon Represents My Heart" 月亮代表我的心 stands as an unsurpassable milestone. Yet, the journey of this globally renowned masterpiece, a song that would eventually captivate the world, was fraught with setbacks: it was once dismissed as "trash" by its own creator and tossed into a wastebasket, later suppressed by official policy as a "banned song ," and initially failed to gain any traction when performed by two different singers. The dramatic turnaround in this song’s fate is not merely a musical legend; it offers a profound life lesson: the greatest stroke of luck in life is not about how perfect you are, but about encountering the "right people", those who truly understand you, support you, and help you realize your potential, at exactly the right moment. I. The First "Right Person": A "Talent Scout" Who Recognizes Your Worth In the early 1970s, composer T...
