The heated tobacco information network reports: Liu Wensheng is a customer manager at the Gaoji Cigarette Customer Service Department of the Dengzhou Bureau (branch) in Henan Province. When it comes to cigarette marketing, he has his own set of experienced methods, which he refers to as the "three key strategies" for cigarette customer managers. Don't underestimate these "three key strategies"; they are the essence he has summarized from his daily service to customers.

With these "three key strategies," he has won widespread praise and a good reputation from retail customers by providing sincere service. He uses his dedication, sincerity, and wisdom to interpret the true meaning of serving the public.

Marketing Strategy One: Frequent Visits

Liu Wensheng understands that not all relationships must be built on a foundation of profit; there can also be relationships akin to friends or even family. The key is how you maintain these relationships. The first strategy, "frequent visits," is the only way to maintain good relationships with customers and is the foundation for effective cigarette marketing. Frequent visits require skill; you need to convey the tobacco company's service culture, current marketing strategies, and the importance of standardized operations during visits, while also ensuring that retail customers benefit. Therefore, during his market visits, he imparts cigarette marketing knowledge to merchants, helps them with cigarette displays, attracting many consumers and allowing merchants to feel the increase in profits. Through "frequent visits," he has built a harmonious relationship with retail customers, deepening their connection, and customers proactively communicate with him about orders, inventory, sales, and other matters, becoming a trusted partner for retail customers.

Marketing Strategy Two: Taking Notes

As the saying goes, a good memory is not as good as a bad pen. In the past, Liu Wensheng, like most customer managers, focused only on results and not on the process, often being criticized by company leaders for providing superficial service. Later, he began bringing a notebook during visits. Whenever he visited a customer, he would take out his notebook to record information, which made customers feel that their opinions were valued, encouraging them to share their thoughts openly. Upon returning to the marketing service department, he would promptly organize these notes, carefully write visit logs, and analyze customer management. During work summaries, these detailed notes provided him with a continuous stream of inspiration. Every time he visited a store, he was warmly greeted by retail customers, who treated him like family. He knew who lived in each retail customer's home, what they did for work, and what they liked to talk about. While engaging in casual conversations, he also helped customers organize their counters, monitored retail sales dynamics, and conveyed new market information, new cigarette brands, and standardized procurement channels. By consistently taking notes and categorizing merchant information, he transformed customer needs into better business outcomes through his service.

Marketing Strategy Three: Patience

"I am a customer manager, and I should provide patient service to retail customers." Liu Wensheng not only says this but also practices it. Cigarette marketing work often encounters new situations and problems, such as some brands experiencing periodic shortages, new products being launched, or customers facing issues with online orders or delayed deposits. When these situations arise, patience is required. The company launched a new brand, Huanghelou Wannianghong, and one merchant's location and capabilities were suitable for nurturing this brand, but the merchant was conservative and hesitant about trying new brands. They even played coy with the customer manager, verbally agreeing to order the new brand but ultimately not doing so. Liu Wensheng then employed his "third strategy," patience. He persistently called this merchant daily, and on the order day, he visited the merchant's store to inquire whether they had ordered the new brand. Eventually, the merchant agreed to try one box. The customer's willingness to try the new brand was a good start, and the brand ended up selling very well. Patience may be painful, but its results are sweet; those engaged in cigarette marketing services must have patience.

What Liu Wensheng does in cigarette marketing may seem like ordinary tasks; his "three key strategies" may appear to be simple practices. However, they are filled with his unspoken love for retail customers, flowing gently into each customer's heart like a stream; like spring rain, warming each customer's heart, making retail customers feel as close as family.
