If a prospect says "who are you?" when they see you, you're in trouble. If you aren't a memorable salesperson, then your company isn't going to stand out in the prospect's mind either. Here are some strategies on how to be remembered.
Remember special events. You could send a birthday card to a person who has never bought something from you. Who knows? You might be the only person who remembered their birthday and they'll sign a contract with you the next day.
Make sure that your thank you notes are handwritten. This is especially important today in this computerized world. You can also fax or send a cartoon or article that applies to your prospect.
Learn you prospect's interests. For example, if they mention that they enjoy playing board games, then on your next visit bring them a small game. Make sure that the gift is inexpensive and appropriate.
Build an emotional rapport. Talk about things you have in common. People enjoy buying from a salesperson who they feel is interested in them, not just their order.
You sell by being different! Perhaps it won't work 100% of the time, but it is possible that sales could double or triple by being a little more creative. You can't lose a sale that you don't have.
