Boost Your Sales with Recommended Orders: A Proven Strategy for Cannabis Brands
As a cannabis brand, one of the most common questions we receive from new clients during the onboarding process is, “What’s the number one thing you would recommend we do?” Our answer is always the same: build recommended orders for all your clients, regardless of whether they are already ordering from you or not.
Why Recommended Orders Matter
In the fast-paced world of cannabis retail, buyers and general managers often have to juggle a wide variety of products and brands. With extensive cannabis brands and different ordering systems to manage, it’s easy for them to overlook certain products that could perform well in their stores. This is where recommended orders come in.
By leveraging Bamboo’s performance reports and filtering capabilities, sales representatives can identify products that clients may be missing out on when placing orders themselves. This proactive approach not only helps clients optimize their shelf spaces and products mix but also demonstrates your commitment to their success.
The Power of Data-Driven Insights
Bamboo Sales empowers sales representatives to dive deep into each client’s historical ordering data. By analyzing this information and filtering through products the client hasn’t ordered (and ordered), sales reps can uncover hidden opportunities and make informed recommendations.
The potential impact of this strategy is significant. Even if you only achieve a 5-10% conversion rate on recommended orders, that translates to extra money in your sales reps’ pockets and increased revenue for your company. It may require extra effort, but the payoff is well worth it.
Building Stronger Client Relationships
Beyond the financial benefits, recommended orders serve as a powerful tool for strengthening client relationships. By going the extra mile and proactively suggesting products, you show clients that you value their business and are invested in their success.
For existing clients, this level of attentiveness reinforces your commitment to the partnership. For potential new clients, recommended orders serve as a compelling conversation starter, showcasing your brand’s proactive approach and dedication to helping them grow their retail business.
The Bottom Line
At the end of the day, everyone appreciates someone else doing the work for them. By embracing recommended orders as a core strategy, your cannabis brand can differentiate itself in a crowded market, drive sales growth, and foster long-lasting client relationships.
So, if you’re looking for that one game-changing recommendation, look no further than recommended orders. It’s a proven approach that can help you accelerate your company’s growth.
