As existing customers reduce or cancel their orders, there is a <strong>sudden need for new orders<\/strong>. This is not easy in times when everyone is concerned. Buying from a new supplier implies unknown factors and increases possible uncertainties, making it even more difficult for suppliers to win new customers.

The basis to win new customers is customer confidence. And the fastest way to win new customers is to know what the <strong>challenges and aspirations of the potential customer<\/strong> are before the first contact. However, there is no approach that works for every situation, as it depends on the experiences of the customer, the impact and therefore the importance of the purchase and the complexity of the solution, as represented in the figure below.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"540\" src=\"https:\/\/perpetos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/criteria_influencing_design-960x540.png\" alt=\"Criteria influencing sequence design\" class=\"wp-image-20288\" srcset=\"https:\/\/perpetos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/criteria_influencing_design-960x540.png 960w, https:\/\/perpetos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/criteria_influencing_design-540x304.png 540w, https:\/\/perpetos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/criteria_influencing_design-200x113.png 200w, https:\/\/perpetos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/criteria_influencing_design-1536x865.png 1536w, https:\/\/perpetos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/criteria_influencing_design-1440x811.png 1440w, https:\/\/perpetos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/criteria_influencing_design.png 1615w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>An <strong>adequate sales sequence<\/strong> is necessary, in line with the foregoing.
