This plan I’m going to reveal to you covers everything from the very first stages of your visitor’s thoughts all the way through checkout making sure you know how to create a seamless buying process for your future customers.

Step 1: Recognizing what your prospects want.

The buying process always starts with the realization of a specific need or want of your prospects. Whether they have a problem and need a solution or it’s just some want, your customer will need to see a personal benefit before they are interested in your offer.

With all the options and web sites that are online today, your prospect is in total control of what they want to buy and who they are going to buy it from.

As an online merchant, you need to create this desire for your prospects in a way can relate to it. This will get them interested in getting more information about your offer and building a long-term relationship with you.

Step #2: Researching the Product or Service

Your potential customer is now doing their research to see what products are available that can fulfill their needs and who is offering them.

They are looking for product features, pricing, and other options so they can match it to their needs.

Step 3: Refining and Evaluating.

Once a prospect completes their research, they start to narrow down their choices by eliminating out the options that won’t work the best for them. They will consider the benefits and the merchants to make sure they know what they are buying and who they are buying it from.

It might be a good idea to offer a bonus or incentive for buying the product from you. You can assure the customer that your company will provide them with great support if they even need any help. Any doubts or lack of trust at this point can often turn your visitor away and they might go elsewhere.

Step 4: Reach Out.

This is one of the latest steps in the online buying process. It has become easier for people to interact with each other as your prospects are surfing the web and they want to take full advantage of this new option.

They’re going online and asking others about their experience with a certain product, service or business before they ever make any purchase. The better the word your product or company has out there, the more at ease your future customer will feel.

t has been determined that as much 80% of people who read online product reviews believe them over your own sales material. This will either secure your sale or eliminate it so make sure your company has a good reputation online.

Step 5: Resolution.

Your prospect has narrowed down their choice to a specific product or service. They decide what they are going to buy and who they are going to buy from. This doesn’t mean the deal is finalized though.

The buyer is almost there but still needs to feel safe about the security of the purchase. Post logos on your purchase page that give you credibility and let the buyer know that his or her transaction is secure on your website.

Step 6: Purchase – The Order is Complete Now Give Me My Stuff

After researching all their options, your prospect has now decided to choose your company for their business. They are no longer a prospect; they are your own personal customer now which is every entrepreneur’s favorite person.

To show your gratitude for their business, the next page should be a “Thank You” page. Also, send them an personal email confirmation for their order, thank them again, and remind them of all the awesome benefits they’re about to receive.

Step 7: Reconsider – Did I Really Make the Right Decision?

This is the time for every company’s worse enemy which is buyer’s remorse. It’s when all the questions and doubts begin to hit your customer. But all they really need is a little reassurance that they actually can get their money back if needed and that you will be there for good customer support.

This is when you show your customer that you really believe in your product by reviewing the features and offering a money-back guarantee. They see it as a positive; if you’re willing to risk the sale, then the product must be worth it. You can also let them know you are there to help should any questions or concerns arise.

Be sure to evaluate each step thoroughly so your visitor’s buying process is very easy for them. Make it a pleasure and they will return time after time!
