Ok, besides the obvious, getting that 1st sale is HUGE! Remember when you got yours? What were the emotions and feelings? Relief, validation, excitement...so many right?
Now here's another perspective; when people buy from you, they are working on faith. They believed you, invested based on you, and they had hope. They STILL weren't sure it would work for them though. And with that comes the nagging worry in the back of their minds that they got "scammed". The longer it takes, the more that thought creeps up in intensity.
But when they get that 1st sale- that is gone immediately! POOF! There is a sigh of relief, they got most of their money back just like that and now everything more truly is profit. They stop fretting about being scammed, or what they are doing wrong, second guessing and becoming pessimistic. Those thoughts are now expunged, and proof of concept is made. This allows their brain to refocus and now they can concentrate on building the business and having FUN!
So, when someone buys form you, be present and available to help them, guide them and encourage them. THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP AFTER GETTING SET UP IS GETTING THAT FIRST SALE. They only entrusted their hard-earned money to you, it's the least we can do!
Happy Selling!
