How Effective Customer Education Translates to More Sales

Product adoption starts with education.

That might sound like buzzword soup, but it’s an often-overlooked component for businesses looking to grow.

If you find your sales slumping and are looking for a kickstart, take a long look at your customer education.

When done well, customer education can not only increase sales, but can also drive customer satisfaction. 

Discover how customer education can increase your sales.

1. Boost Brand Awareness with Prospects

Building trust starts before the sales cycle begins by creating brand awareness with prospects. Through your sales and marketing materials, you can educate your prospects on the value of your company, which will lead to them viewing you as a leader in your field.

When they’re ready to find a solution to their challenges, you’ll be top of mind. These early steps in trust building lead to increased sales as customers are more likely to make a purchase from a company that they trust.

2. Improves Customer Understanding

No one wants to buy a product they don’t understand. Customer education can help improve customer understanding of your products or services. By providing comprehensive information about your offerings, customers can make informed decisions about what products or services are right for them. 

When it comes to improving customer understanding, show don’t tell. The modern buyer expects, and in some instances, demands, a hands-on, interactive educational experience. They want to understand your product through learning, not by you telling them what to do. If you customer education resembles the wailing teacher from Peanuts, you're doing something wrong.

When understanding a product, they’ll begin to see its value, resulting in increased sales.

3. Increases Customer Loyalty

Customer acquisition is great, but if you can’t keep them around, it’s hard to sustain business growth. 

Customer education can also increase customer loyalty. When customers feel that they are receiving valuable information from a company, they are more likely to continue to do business with that company. Additionally, customers who feel that they are well-informed are more likely to recommend your products or services to others, which can result in increased sales through word-of-mouth marketing.

4. Enhances Product Value

The more a customer understands the depth of your product, the more value they’ll find in it. The overused stat that 80% of your customers use 20% of your software is overused for a reason – it’s largely true. 

When customers understand the full range of benefits and features offered by your products on the front end, they are more likely to view your product or service as a worthwhile investment. This can result in higher sales as customers are more likely to make a purchase when they feel that they are getting a good value for their money.
