From Transactional to Relational

When I first started my business, I was obsessed with customer acquisition.
Every day, I focused on getting more traffic and more sales.

However, I noticed a troubling trend:

• 93% of my web traffic never came back,
• Customers would buy once and never return,
• My revenue was inconsistent,
• I was constantly chasing new leads to hit my goals.

Surely, I had to do something if I was to change this situation.

After much soul searching and thinking…

I realized I had been treating customers as transactions, not as relationships.

This meant that I had to do a 360-degree turn in my marketing.

So, I shifted my focus to customer loyalty.

All I did was simple.

(You can do it too and you’ll get AMAZING RESULTS).
I started sending personalized follow-up emails to past customers.

Sometimes I offered exclusive discounts to them.

But the bottom line of all I did was to genuinely engage with them.

Over time, I noticed a MASSIVE shift:

• I got more repeat traffic,
• My customer retention rate increased by 40%.
• Repeat customers started contributing to the majority of my revenue.
• And best of all, they referred new customers to my business.

That was an experience like no other.

It taught me the power of building relationships, not just making sales.

So… If you’ve been having similar problems, with customer retention, this blogpost will change your life FOREVER!
