Many successful businesses use after-sales service strategies to consolidate sales, build customer relationships and grow their profits. Providing after-sales service keeps your customers coming back to you and encourages them to refer your business to others.
After-sales service includes what you do at the point of sale, including your customer service and selling techniques. It also includes how you follow up after the customer has left, such as providing follow-up contact and effectively dealing with complaints.

Dear Ghada,
Providing outstanding After Sales Services after the sale may not only win you a customer for life, but you’ll be more likely to receive customer referrals that can lead to more business.
If you fail to provide After Sales service to your client, the next time he needs a product or service your company sells, he’ll be more inclined to look elsewhere.
It may be a cliche’, but it’s true: It’s easier to keep a client you have that to find a new one.

An actual sale starts from the time a sale is made and it matures for the business when the same is referred to another entity (business/ individual). A product and/ or service will only be referred if the customer is satisfied and follow-ups are very important in order to keep the customer satisfied. Periodic measures should be taken to ensure maximum customer satisfaction. A happy customer is much more to the business than just a customer.
