Dossier
After a good sales meeting, where you inspired and bonded with your potential client, there are loads of useful information that you gathered about your client: What he’s interested in, what he likes about your products or services, what prevents him from buying now, etc. That’s the basis for the closing! Use Dossier, a native iPad App, to easily write down notes and attach them to your clients! There’s no need to install or get a complicated CRM system. Dossier is based on the iPad address book, adding the possibilitites of attaching notes and files to the contacts.

Things 3 for iPad
Here’s the crucial step so many sales people forget about: follow-up! Follow-up is the instrument to continue your bonding. Statistics say that only 3% of all people “buy now”. That means that for 97% will buy sometime in the future – making follow-up essential! When the times comes for the client to buy – who is he gonna think of? With regular and thorough follow-up calls and e-mails, you will stay in his awareness. For me, the perfect app for organizing that is Things. There’s hundreds of todo apps on the market – but Things is so neat that I’ve kept using it – instead of throwing it away after a few days or weeks.

Skype for iPad
Keeping in touch with your (potential) clients is hard enough today – especially for the road-warriors like us. The richer the communication channel, the better the bonding. That’s why I recommend using Skype for iPad: Not only because you can make cheap follow-up phone calls to your clients from almost everywhere. Imagine the effect of a video call: After a real good bonding experience in the first place, there’s no reason why not to get in touch personally. Deliver useful follow-up information via Skype Video Conference, and the clients will be thankful for your advice!
