I always think it's a good idea to engage with clients on the phone, and I call them even if they've already booked online. Not quite sure how I'd use the sense of smell to sell walking holidays...but I guess a description of the sounds and scents of the countryside could always be included in my literature...now there's a thought!

You were sending out massive buying signals - "I want to buy some flowers" - and the first person ignored you. The other one asked some more questions, offered you what you wanted and made the sale. Doesn't matter what medium you use - listen for the customers needs and wants and you are more than half way there!

Thank you so much for the tip regarding videos and I'll take a look at jing! Keep up the good work. Alex http://brains-trust.co.uk http://twitter.com/alexparr Karen,
