Do You Make These 5 Sales Killing Mistakes On Whatsapp? by OgaSteveCopy(m): 10:13am On Sep 01, 2021
The 3rd mistake is the reason lesser and lesser people view your WhatsApp status.

Number 5 is the most common mistake and the reason why those who view your status don't buy.


The truth is your sales on WhatsApp sucks.

It's a mess. You know it.

You make a sale today, the next sale comes after 4 days (that's if you are Lucky).

You just keep posting on your WhatsApp Status and pray that someone reaches out to you to place an order.

Below are 5 mistakes you are making that's making your customers go to your competitors.

1. Selling To The Wrong Audience
The life wire of every business is quality leads.

You could have the best product/service in the market, but if the right people are not seeing it, it's as good as not being in existence.

If you sell to just family and friends your sales will be limited.

The most heartbreaking condition to find yourself as a seller on WhatsApp is to get over 200 WhatsApp status views, without getting an order whatsoever.

Do you know why?

You have been focused on the wrong goal – To gain WhatsApp status views.

As a result, you join several contact gain groups to increase your WhatsApp status views.

The problem with this is that everyone in that group is also searching for customers, so you get a huge number of WhatsApp status views but no sales, because the people viewing your status sell your kind of product/service too.

Before you begin to sell, invest in building a list of responsive buyers. It would save you days and months of heartache and worry.

2. Inconsistency
A large number of people make this mistake.

Today you make a post, the next day you are off.
People won't be able to count on you that way, and this works against your business.

The goal is to be consistent.

To always be in the face of your customers, so that when they decide to buy they can easily reach out to you.

3. Creating Waist-Bead Status Update

Stop it!

It's not helping your business in any way.

Posting your products on and on and on, till your WhatsApp status looks like waist beads.

No one would view your status that way.
Except when they have nothing else to do.

Nobody comes online to have you bombard them with your products.

When online, do you view the entire posts of people whose statuses look like waist beads?

I can hear the silent answer in your head loud and clear.

4. Spamming
How do you feel when you get unsolicited marketing messages/calls ?

How do you feel when you are interrupted by an ad on YouTube while watching a video?

Better still,
How do you feel when you are pulled back and forth by market men and women when walking through a market?

Irritated, right?

Good

That's exactly how people feel when you keep sending them unsolicited marketing messages, advertising your products.

This can lead to being blocked.

5. No Irresistible Offer
This is the most commonly made mistake.

You keep selling your products/services as a commodity instead of Selling Irresistible Offers.

What's an Irresistible offer?

It's simply an offer whose Perceived Value is higher than the price that's paid for it.

To put in context;
Instead of selling just a Shirt – a commodity,

Offer a Shirt + Face cap + cufflinks at a sweet price.

Instead of selling just a Wig – as everyone does,

Offer a Wig + Shower cap + Shampoo at a sweet price.

The essence of creating an Irresistible offer is to make your customers jump on it as a good deal. She will be the one convincing herself to pay you.

When you craft Irresistible Offers, it makes your customers crawl over broken glasses to buy from you.

That's it for today.

Go through these 5 mistakes again, take note of the ones you are making and correct them.
