CQout woos Power Sellers with 'Quick Launch
Assistance'
It’s no secret that people are becoming more careful with
their money as recession bites, and the online ‘Power Sellers’ who list and sell
hundreds or thousands of items through auction sites as a major source of income
are no exception. Those Power Sellers are themselves facing pressure to reduce
their own selling costs to a minimum in their quest to take advantage of the
rising number of online, cost conscious shoppers.
Enter CQout’s new ‘Quick Launch Assistance’ telephone service
to help Power Sellers get their bulk listings up and running quickly and
simply.
CQout may not
yet be a household name, but recent appearances on BBC2 ‘Working Lunch’ and
Channel Five's 'The Gadget Show' suggest that CQout is a serious alternative to
eBay.
“With
no listing fees, CQout is a low cost haven for Power Sellers,” explains CQout MD
Siamak Bashi. “Anyone can do the sums that show the real ‘fully loaded’ cost of
having to pay for each and every listing can be crippling when not every listed
item will sell. Our ‘no sale, no fee’ policy for basic listings means that a
Power Seller can put their entire inventory up on CQout without having to worry
about the cost.”
CQout prides
itself on offering Power Sellers a more ‘hands on’ personal touch than they will
experience elsewhere. “We care passionately about helping our Sellers because
our success is intrinsically based on their success,” says CQout CEO Bashi.
“Unlike eBay, CQout earns an income only when Sellers makes sales. And that
means that our aims and incentives are aligned with those of the Seller right
from the outset. So we do everything we can to get a seller off to a great
start.”
“When a new Power Seller requests the ‘Quick Launch
Assistance’ service, one of our support agents calls back the Seller within 24
hours and helps them through any issues they may have in uploading their
inventory to CQout,” explains Bashi, pointing out that Sellers often get
frustrated with automated email responses to queries from other auction sites.
The CQout solution enables real dialogue with a real person- no fuss, no
frustration, and Bashi lists five key points that our staff work through with
new Sellers to optimise their experience on CQout:
1… most important tip for Power
Sellers is to have a large inventory up for sale – the more you have listed, the
more likely the chance of making a sale. It really is as simple as that!
2…Unlike most auction websites,
there are no listing fees on CQout for standard items, so the Seller won’t lose
out, even if their items don’t sell in the short term. This is a bonus for Power
Sellers as it can significantly reduce their total cost of sales.
3…For Power Sellers in
particular, CQout recommends listing ALL items at ALL times. The range of bulk
uploading solutions available on CQout helps Power Sellers list large quantities
of items as simply, quickly and efficiently as possible. This ensures that the
Seller can reach the largest possible audience with the widest range of items,
so increasing the likelihood of making sales.
Asked to identify one key secret to online sales success for
Power Sellers, CQout’s Bashi says, “Don’t just dip in and out. Having a large
number of listings, listed all of the time- you just never know when a fish will
bite.”
