3. Your product didn't do as promised. If your product didn't accomplish their desired goal they're not going to think your second product will either.
4. Your customer couldn't get a hold of you in time when they had a "after question" sale. You could have added extra lines of communication.
5. Your customer doesn't want to revisit your web site because it didn't offer much. You could have offered more original content or freebies.
6. Your competition is offering free shipping with their product. You should have been more aware of how they are targeting your customers.
7. Your customer forgot your web site address. You should have given your customers your web site information in your product package.
8. Your customer service couldn't solve a problem they had with your product. Your customer service should be trained to handle most problems.
