Subscribers receive as a free gift an Audio workshop entitled Does This Sound Like You?
Our best clients view themselves (or more accurately, their brains) as their key product. Many utilise franchised or incorporated systems and methodologies to deliver their services, but all know that their own expertise makes the difference between a client who is a raving fan and one who will shop around next time they require the service in question. Their typical workday may be spent:
- offering legal advice,
- auditing financial accounts,
- supplying project management expertise,
- advising clients regarding investment vehicles,
- developing and implementing optimised business processes or
- coaching senior executives.
Yet our clients all rely daily on the skills they have built up over years or decades of professional training and in-service practice to make their own client-base successful.
Consummate business professionals they may be, but they are frustrated with the mediocre results of the efforts they put into growing their customer-base and increasing the profitability of their practice.
Does your ‘inner voice’ resonate with any of the following typical scenarios?
- ‘We formed our practice recently and secured our former employers as clients, but where are all of the other clients going to come from? We need the business to grow exponentially!'
- ‘The practice grew to this size very quickly but it seems to have ‘stalled’ at this level. How are we going to break through the next revenue barrier?’
- 'We haven’t raised our prices in five years because our clients won’t hear of it. How will we increase profitability?’
- 'I don’t really want this client at this rate but I am scared to say no. What happens if I don’t get a better client soon?’
- 'We don’t have time to market ourselves - we’re too busy servicing our existing client base! I wish we could afford to hire a marketing manager.’
- 'Other businesses may get benefit from marketing, but ours is different. Marketing doesn’t work for us – we know because we spent lots of money on it and got no results!’
If any (or all) of those sound like your own inner voice, please read on! We can help.
Clients we enjoy working with will relate to the following:
- You’re in business because you really believe that you can offer your clients something of far higher value than the fees you charge. It really is all about the customer for you!
- Constructive advice is welcome in areas where improvement is needed, even if it is contrary to what you believe and are doing currently. You know what you don’t know!
- You yearn for a better balance between work and life. You don’t live to work (although it may too often feel that way); and you’d like your dog not to bark at you when you finally make it home!
- You understand the power behind the best brands – You wouldn’t quibble over buying (say) an iPod because it costs a few pounds more than a mass-market alternative. You appreciate great craftsmanship when you experience it!
- You demand (and deliver) excellence in your business. For you; good enough isn’t!
