*******************
You'd be hard put to find a person in the industrialized
world who hasn't wondered about the wisdom of a purchase
in the cold light of the next day. Psychologists and sales
experts call this widespread phenomenon "buyer's remorse."
Take these steps to soothe that anxiety instead of letting
it blossom into a refund request.
* Send a personal thank-you to each buyer when possible -
not an obviously canned autoresponder message or a
mass-produced cover letter, but a brief one-to-one note.
A personal touch reduces fear that you were just out to take
their money.
* Deliver everything you promised, and more. Adding an
unannounced "extra" sparks delight that helps buyers
relax.
* Remind purchasers of the benefits they're going to enjoy
from your product or service. Give them clear instructions
for anything they must do next so that they have a positive
experience using what they bought.
* Invite buyers to contact you if they have any questions,
problems or compliments. Most won't, but your offer further
defuses any worry on their part.
