(upbeat music) Welcome to converting business leads to customers. In these lessons, you'll understand how to convert leads into customers by creating relationships and customizing the customer experience. You'll also learn how to build your reputation while sustaining a loyal customer base. Creating engaging content within your marketing strategy can play an important role in attracting qualified leads, but establishing meaningful relationships with your prospects can significantly affect the customer conversion process. There are several ways that you can go about building these relationships. One method is to establish ongoing conversations with your qualified prospects. These conversations are foundational because relationships can't be created if there are no lines of communication. As your prospects move through the sales journey they'll likely request additional information about the benefits of your offerings, and these questions create great opportunities for meaningful conversations. They can also help potential customers feel more confident and trust in your product. To maintain these ongoing conversations, consider making yourself available through video chats, phone calls, text messages, or emails. As you create this line of communication, it's also important to respond quickly. Consider including the best times of day to connect, so your prospects will know when they can reach you. By communicating to your prospects that you're available, it can give them peace of mind that they're making the right choice by doing business with you. Imagine that you're in the process of selling a computer to a prospect who has expressed significant interest. Throughout this experience, the prospect will likely have questions about the computer or the sales process in general. If you're unavailable to answer any questions the prospect might not have enough information to make a purchase, or they may feel ignored. But if you provide them with contact information, you could answer any questions they may have and influence them to make the purchase. When you establish these genuine relationships they can continue far past the sale and demonstrate that you care about the individual customer. Another method for creating relationships with your prospects is to create personalized experiences based on research. If you get to know your prospects you'll be able to customize your approach. Let's assume that you're trying to sell a vehicle to a prospect. If you understand their preferences you'll be able to create a more seamless customer experience. By developing a meaningful relationship, you might learn that they have a large family and they regularly travel long distances. With this information you could recommend vehicles that are better suited for long distances, and that have greater occupancy. If you never learned about this prospect's preferences you might not have been able to close the sale.
