We are often asked about why a business isn’t winning work and what to do to win more business.

Whether this is for a service you provide, a package you have created with your ideal customer in mind, or a new product your customer can buy now.

Not winning the business you are looking for can be for many reasons but often it is because of these two areas:

  • A prospect has loyalty to your competitors.
  • Not the best product or service placement.

At Ask Zoe, we believe winning more business involves a combination of strategic planning, effective communication, and delivering value to your customers.

We recently shared the following three top tips, to help you win more business:

  • Clearly communicate your value proposition. What makes your company unique and better than the competition? Why should clients choose you?
  • Invest in customer service. Give every customer a positive experience of your company at every stage of the customer journey.
  • Get feedback from your customers. Ask them about your services and use their feedback to improve your offerings.

However, with strategic planning, there are multiple areas to consider to ultimately help you, or show you how, to win more business in 2024 and beyond.

8 Key areas to win more business

These eight key areas are as follows:

Understand Your Customers:

Identify your target audience and understand their needs, preferences, and pain points.

Conduct market research to stay informed about industry trends and customer demands.

Differentiate Yourself:

Clearly communicate what sets your products or services apart from the competition.

Highlight your unique selling propositions (USPs) to show why customers should choose you.

Build Strong Relationships:

Cultivate strong relationships, not just with existing customers but through networking, is crucial; attend industry events, join professional organisations, and engage on social media platforms.

Create Compelling Proposals:

Tailor your proposals to the specific needs of each customer.

Clearly outline the value you provide and how it addresses the customer challenges or goals.

Include case studies or testimonials to build credibility.

Price Strategically:

Set competitive yet profitable prices for your products or services.

Clearly articulate the value customers receive in exchange for the price.

Invest in Marketing:

Develop a strong online presence through a professional website, social media, and online advertising.

Utilize content marketing to showcase your expertise and attract potential customers.

Monitor Competitors:

Stay informed about your competitors’ offerings, pricing, and marketing strategies.

Identify opportunities to differentiate yourself and capitalise on gaps in the market.

Be Adaptable:

Be willing to adapt your strategies based on market changes, customer feedback, and emerging trends.

Stay agile and responsive to maintain a competitive edge.
