This post is part of the 📖 Never Lose a Customer Again series.
Today, I am reading Phase 3: Affirm chapter from the book Never Lose a Customer Again: Turn Any Sale into Lifelong Loyalty in 100 Days written by Author, Joey Coleman.
Across all industries, somewhere between 20%-70% of newly acquired customers will stop doing business with a company with the first 100 days of being a new customer because they feel neglected in the early stages of customer onboarding.
In Never Lose a Customer Again, Coleman offers a philosophy and methodology for dramatically increasing customer retention and as a result, the bottom line. He identifies eight distinct emotional phases customers go through in the 100 days following a purchase
Yesterday, I started reading **[Phase 2: Admit](https://5pagesaday.com/books/never-lose-customer-again-12/)** section from the book **[Never Lose a Customer Again](https://www.amazon.com/Never-Lose-Customer-Again-Lifelong/dp/0735220034/ref=as_li_ss_tl?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1608157224&sr=8-1&linkCode=ll1&tag=5pagesaday-20&linkId=3df73d6aa80d60dd73f7e1e5c60b58e2&language=en_US)**
CHAPTER 10
Phase 3: Affirm
Overview of the Affirm Phase
After experiencing the emotional high of the Admit phase, customers move into the Affirm phase—and their emotional state can take a dramatic turn.
This phase is commonly known as “buyer’s remorse.”
The customer likely feels fear, doubt, and uncertainty about the decision they just made, and the business must take steps to assuage those feelings.
Most customers assume (rightfully so) that the handoff between the salesperson and the account manager will fall somewhere in between shaky and horrible.
By designing your business to include a smooth handoff, you can significantly improve customer confidence.
Affirming the purchase decision with a transparent, clear, and effortless transition between the salesperson and the account manager showcases extra care and attention to detail, creating a positive customer experience in the process.
The best way to counter any feelings of buyer’s remorse is to confirm the purchase as quickly and accurately as possible.
By providing customers with a detailed review of the elements of the purchase, you reassure them that everything is proceeding according to schedule and that things are happening as they would hope and expect.
That’s it for today. I will read Phase 4: Activate tomorrow.
