This is from my post on FutureSimple.
If you’re just starting your company in 2012, you may wonder how you possibly can get new customers and start to build relationships with them to grow your business. Unfortunately, there’s no secret to overnight sales. You’ll have to start at square one. However, these tips will help you move a little faster toward building trust with consumers.
Become a Resource
The sooner you start sharing advice and insight to potential customers, the quicker they’ll find you. Create a company blog and write about topics that your customers are concerned with. Share tips through social media. Provide valuable content in as many channels as you can manage, and people will begin to find you.
The beauty of this is that as they find you and like what you’re putting out there, they’ll share it. And the effect snowballs.
Important note: While you may be desperate for customers, remember that at this stage, it’s more about creating customer confidence. As they get to know your brand, the sales will come in.
Start Networking
The more people you meet, the better your brand will be known. Start locally at the Chamber of Commerce or business networking events, then branch out into industry trade shows and conferences nationwide.
