How do you feel when people make enquiries and don't end up buying?;

[King Belieal]

Some people are really good with calling or meeting face to face to make enquiries. They look serious. You answer all their queries and probably negotiating a price. They end up not buying at the end.

How do you feel? Down? Wasted efforts?

I already know that it is part of the business experience. It is not unexpected and I don't let that to bother me in any way. They might not buy today but they know what my business deals with. They might refer someone tomorrow.

That will be disappointing but never let them feel your feelings. It's best to wait for some days for them. to decide and come back to you.

It's natural to feel disappointed when a potential sale falls through after investing time and effort. Use it as a learning experience to refine your approach for future interactions. Stay positive and focus on continual improvement.

You would have to be patient. We might think they have changed their minds about buying but they are busy making their decisions and sourcing money to come and buy.

I still feel good that they still saw what they liked to stop by. it is always good to still be polite to them so that they return to buy

That's right they are budgeting their capital to avoid over dropping. Mature men don't decide right away.

Maybe the entrepreneur should go and learn about how to convert leads into sales and seal a deal as soon as possible. It just might be what was lacking.

Facing disappointment is a natural part of running a business. It is essential to understand that not everyone will be your target market. However, remember that there will always be people who are interested in your products or services and who align with your target market.

This feeling different from item to item. My shop's items are simple, as if some customers enquire and not purchase I don't feel bad, but I have seen this irritating style of few customers in cloth market there, shopkeeper there open unstitched cloth, customer see then see other and other and mostly not purchase.

It can be very painful. There was one that happened to me some time back, she came to me, made a lot of enquires, I even took time out to check various vendors where I could get the materials in a cheaper rate, so I could give her the best price. After giving her my price, she agreed that the price was fair and that she would come back to me within the month, only for me to see on her status that she has done it somewhere else. I jokingly asked her about it and what she said was that she had already paid someone to do the job even before asking me. Like does that even make sense?

It is part of business. It doesn't make me feel bad or down. In fact, it shows that my products have potentials. A business owner must accommodate diverse set of people and circumstances.

 

[King Belieal]

On the flip side, after some days, you can reach out to the customer to ask about developments on the enquiry they made. Don't ever look desperate while doing so.

 

[Augusta]

I don't think it makes sense to feel bad. it was just sn enquiry you are not sure that the person actively wanted to buy any time soon

 

[Starmix]

Sometimes it's annoying wasting time entertaining only to say nothing but leave. There are people like that, perhaps they don't have money. They just like window shopping.

If you are running a business, you have to be ready to accept these things as a part and parcel of the game. Think from the point of a customer. They want the best for them and they will compare all possibilities before deciding for one.

 

[Xtynehappy]

As entrepreneurs they should not give up on such cases. Those making some inquiries would at the end of the day make the purchase

 

[arunima25]

Patience is the virtue and you will need it again and again in your business. Patience and politeness goes a long way in building rapport with your customer. He might not make a purchase now, but ge might be your prospective customer if he goes impressed with your courtesy, politeness and patience to answer all your queries.

It really feels bad to have leads without conversion to sales. It even gets worse when you are selling perishable products. You might even have hypertension.

 

[Sanjeev]

It feels bad and I get irritated if someone does it with me so as a customer I never behave like this to any vendor.
