Let&#8217;s start&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h3greendashedborder01\"><strong>Answer the question: What?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This is the most important question nobody has difficulties answering. Its&nbsp;answer is responsible for the descriptive part of your product. It is important to inform your customers about the nature of your product:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"listgok\">\n<li>What is the product about?<\/li>\n<li>What is its purpose?<\/li>\n<li>What can it do?<\/li>\n<li>What results can you expect?<\/li>\n<li>What does it contain?<\/li>\n<li>What is it made of?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>By answering the question &#8220;What?&#8221; you start picturing the product in your customers&#8217; minds. As much as self-evident this answer might seem, it really can&#8217;t stimulate clients to place orders. The question plays an introductory and explanatory role.<\/p>\n<p>So we reach go on with the next question&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3 class=\"h3greendashedborder01\"><strong>Explain to your potential customers: How?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>How your product will help your buyers find solution to their problems? How their investments will give visible end results? After all, each client buys and consumes due to a certain need. Each customer seeks specific results and now is the time to remind you of your buyer persona.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read more: <a title=\"Buyer persona and successful business\" href=\"https:\/\/blog.superhosting.bg\/en\/buyer-persona-business-success.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Buyer Persona \u2013 The Key to Your Successful Business<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Tell your clients:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"listgok\">\n<li>How your product works?<\/li>\n<li>How to store it?<\/li>\n<li>How to take care of it?<\/li>\n<li>How to use it?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Whatever you sell, it&#8217;s not that important whether the product is good enough or not.

Group them according to our general questions and fill in their answers.

When someone calls you to place an order, write down everything that they ask or are interested in. Little by little you will notice that some of the questions are coming on the surface over and over. Include their detailed answers in your product descriptions.<\/div>\n<h3 class=\"h3greendashedborder01\"><strong>The most important question: Why?<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>60% of the businesses do not answer it. <em>Why?<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Because it is a mixture of key components: <em>vision, mission, values, beliefs, unique selling proposition.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The answer of &#8220;Why&#8221; can go in a few directions:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"listgok\">\n<li>Why you do what you do?<\/li>\n<li>Why do you offer it to your customers?<\/li>\n<li>Why are you different from the rest of the online stores that sell the same or similar products\/services?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As Simon Sinek says:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>People don&#8217;t buy what you do.
