Closing a sale is a big deal for any sales representative. However, sales teams need to understand that the sales process does not end there. Maintaining a lasting relationship with your customer and taking care of their needs post the sale is equally important. Not only will it keep their business, but it can also help you win new business in the form of referrals. Sometimes, sales reps can get caught up in chasing new leads and acquiring new business after a customer has been signed on. You cannot afford to desert your existing customers - they need to know that they can count on you and that you will be there to help if the need arises. You do not want to elicit buyer’s remorse! Here are a few ways to keep the momentum going after you have made the sale.
MANAGE THEIR PREFERENCES

MAKE A PLAN
There is a chance that the implementation of your new product or service may run into some teething troubles- so it makes sense to set up a ‘service agenda’ for your customer for the weeks following the purchase. This could be phone calls, visits, tutorials- any form of contact from the period your service begins. This helps build trust and establish a stronger relationship.FOLLOW UP
Follow-ups are not just for the proposal and prospecting stages! Once you have made a plan, you need to follow it and ensure that your customer hears from you on a timely basis. Sometimes, your customer may also get busy, so it helps to send timely emails, reminders or make a phone call to let them know that you have them on your mind.You need to keep the relationship and the conversation going.
