Stop Chasing New Customers and Start Supporting the Ones You Already Have

Does running your business sometimes feel like a never-ending hamster wheel? You’re constantly chasing new customers, working harder and harder to bring them in, yet feeling like your results don’t match your effort. Sound familiar?

Here’s the thing: if you’re chasing new customers without supporting the ones you already have, you’re leaving money, loyalty, and opportunities on the table.

Let’s break it down:

  • It costs 6-7 times more to acquire a new customer than to keep a current one.

  • The probability of selling to a new customer is just 1-3%. Selling to an existing customer? That skyrockets to 60-70%.

  • 90% of consumers say a positive customer service experience makes them more likely to buy again.

These numbers don’t lie—focusing on your current customers doesn’t just build loyalty, it builds consistent revenue.

Now, imagine what your business would look like if those same customers came back to place orders with you month after month. It’s a game changer, right?

Here’s what I’ve seen happen time and time again:

  • You work hard to make a sale, but after the purchase, your customers are left to figure things out on their own.

  • There’s no follow-up, no support, and no clear way for them to get the most out of what they bought.

Why this hurts your business:
❌ Customers feel abandoned, so they’re unlikely to buy again.
❌ They might not use the product correctly, which leads to dissatisfaction.
❌ They don’t associate your brand with value or care, which decreases loyalty.

Here’s the hard truth: If you’re just selling a product without creating a system of support, you’re not building a sustainable business—you’re just chasing the next sale.

When I first started my business online, I didn’t have a clue what I was doing. I was guilty of the “sell and ghost” method, thinking that the transaction ended with the sale.

But then a friend shared something that changed everything: she kept her customers coming back month after month by sending them product support—personal messages in the DMs that showed them exactly how to use the products and offered ongoing tips.

The problem? She was doing it manually. Every single day, she had a list of customers she’d follow up with, sending individual messages. Holy time-consuming, right?

That’s when I realized there had to be a better way.

I knew that if I could create a system to handle customer follow-ups and support automatically, I’d be able to:
✅ Provide a better experience for my customers.
✅ Keep them engaged and coming back for more.
✅ Save time while building stronger relationships with my audience.

So, I built it—a month-long support campaign via SMS (and later added email automation as well).

Here’s what the system included:

  • Support: Step-by-step instructions for using the products.

  • How-to Tips: Advice on how to maximize results.

  • Community Links: Access to exclusive groups for more connection and support.

  • Reminders and Value: Gentle follow-ups to keep customers engaged.

It worked like magic. Whenever someone made a purchase, I’d send them a quick link, and the system would handle the rest.

When you focus on creating a positive, seamless customer experience, you’re doing more than just following up—you’re:
Building trust: Customers will see you as someone who genuinely cares about their success.
Creating loyalty: Happy customers are repeat customers—and they’re also more likely to refer others.
Saving time: Automating your customer support allows you to work smarter, not harder.

Here’s the good news: you don’t have to figure this out on your own.
