HI there – it may have been said, but when you truly are doing what you’re passionate about and have purpose there, making a sale becomes more about helping solve that client’s problem and celebrating together when they get what they need. As a coach, those are the best moments for me, when you can feel it in your clients’ voice that they’re really progressing toward the life they imagined and their excitement is palpable.
cheers,
Michael

Thank you so much for this post. I am in the middle of creating my “message,” defining my perfect customer, and developing a brand, so topics such as this have been rattlin’ around my head.

I appreciate the re-affirmation this provided! It’s nice to know that, even with the speed bumps, I’m on the right track.

With Peace,

I find that marketing is much easier in person, just like teaching. When I teach in a classroom, my students are much more likely to do their assignments and really try to learn. Teaching online, I find students are much more likely to complain. The trick is to find a way to bring your personality to the screen.

This is what I see to be the difference between good and great businesses – The way the business owner is slanted will determine the way they treat their customer. If the business owner is slanted toward self-preservation then the customer is a means to an end. When the business owner is slanted toward meeting the needs of their customer, customer satisfaction is the prize of all prizes – and the business does really, really, really well.

What does the ancient proverb say? “Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.”

What is funny is that the customer will determine how profitable your business will be anyway – they are calling the shots. That is as real as gravity – and I would not want to test gravity.

Sometimes you don’t get a good vibe about people but you do business with them anyway because that’s what you do. Someone has a problem and you help them. You might even factor in a few extra hours work because you get the sense that this cutomer might be more demanding than most.

But it isn’t worth it. You need to go with your gut and just work with people who you get a sense are going to value your input and respect your professional expertise.

Sonia, the “People who don’t get enough value from your services” really spoke to me. If you’re not sold on them how can they be sold on you and vice versa? It’s an impossible cycle and one you have to learn to let go of.

It’s hard to give up customers who you know would benefit from your help but you have to let them go or you might not have time for the perfect customer who will benefit from it and value it too. It’s taken a long time for me to work this out. Thank you for putting it into words and showing it’s not just me!

Great post.

What is a perfect client? For me, it’s someone with need in mouth, knowledge in brain, desire in heart and money in hand. When a potential client (new patient) has all 4 prerequisites, they practically jump into the chair to get started!

Easy to forget those 4 criteria when facing someone with a deep need. It’s hard to walk away knowing how much I could have helped them.
