What do the enquiries tell us, and how should we improve the promotion?

What do the enquiries tell us, and how should we improve the promotion?

1 · Notice the conversation

Colleague: What result do we have so far?

You: Five people asked about samples, but no one has ordered yet.

Colleague: What may be stopping the next step?

You: Some customers still need to understand the pack size.

Colleague: How should we respond to the enquiries?

You: We should answer these enquiries with clear serving information.

2 · Understand what each phrase does

target audience

the particular people we want to reach

Office managers are the target audience for this offer.

audience 要联系具体需求;不能把所有上班族都当作同一购买者。

call to action

the next action we invite people to take

The call to action invites managers to request a sample.

行动要求应清楚、真实可执行;一次宣传避免同时要求太多互相竞争的动作。

enquiries

people who respond by asking for information

The promotion generated five sample enquiries.

enquiries 是咨询,不等于已付款订单;要区分触达、咨询和成交。

3 · Rehearse, then change the details

Five people asked about samples, but no one has ordered yet.

Some customers still need to understand the pack size.

We should answer these enquiries with clear serving information.

Then we can track sample requests and later orders separately.

Keep the purpose; change the person, document or time. A simple, accurate sentence is enough.

4 · Respond to your colleague

What result do we have so far?

五人咨询样品,但还没人下单。

What if the pack is too large for customers?

What if the pack is too large for customers?
Address the changed condition. Choose a practical next step and explain why it helps.
