Running an SME myself, I’ve learned that sales isn’t just about selling, it’s about solving, building trust, and being present where your customers are. Here are some tried-and-tested sales strategies that have worked for us and many others in the SME world:
1. Focus on a Clear Niche First
3. Use Relationship-Based Selling
4. Invest in Inside Sales (Not Just Field Sales)
5. Educate Your Buyers
6. Follow Up Relentlessly (But Respectfully)
7. Offer Flexible Pricing or Low-Risk Trials
Final Thought:
SMEs thrive on personal connection, consistency, and clarity.
You don’t need fancy tools or a little budget, just a clear value proposition, a focused approach, and the willingness to follow through.
