Top 10 Keys to Attracting More Clients
It’s always easier to attract the
things we want in life than to chase them down and catch them. My grandmother
used to say, "You catch more flies with honey than with vinegar." I’ve never
understood why I’d want a collection of flies, but there are many other things I
do want.
One of the things many professionals and small business owners want is "more
clients". While there are lots of strategies for getting clients, from
Advertising to Workshops, one of the best (and fastest) is to be the type of
person and provide the quality service that draws clients to you like flies to
honey!
The following Top 10 Principles for Attracting Great Clients are borrowed from
material originally developed by Thomas Leonard for Attraction University. I am
a certified instructor at AU, and created the following list especially for
readers of TIP’s. Enjoy!
1. Become incredibly selfish! Yes, it’s ironic, but as you take care of
yourself, manage your time, your space and your life well, you have more to give
and more to share. If you want more clients, take extremely good care of Client
#1.
2. Over-respond to every event! This is the opposite of over-reacting. Respond
immediately to phone calls, answer questions in full, take your time and
thoughtfully and creatively go the extra mile.
3. Add value just for the joy of it! Do more, provide more, go further than you
are paid for. Caution: Don’t just give more stuff, give more stuff that people
really want and appreciate.
4. Market your talents shamelessly! Have fun with your marketing, be proud of
what you do. Laugh and joke and yell and whisper, but tell everybody! If you
aren’t excited, proud and energized by what you do, find another job!
5. Affect others profoundly. Abandon the roles and job descriptions we all have.
Connect with people, question, respond, be silly, get "outside the box".
Whatever it takes, make an impact on your world.
6. Eliminate delay. Time is expensive, and wasting it is unattractive and
irritating. Think and plan carefully, but in the end, only action counts!
7. Thrive on the details. Pay attention to the subtleties, the small things.
It’s the little extras that build you up, and little slips that bring you down.
8. Tolerate nothing! Clean up all the irritations, the daily frustrations and
predictable annoyances of your life once and for all! Don’t just fix the
problem, re-design your routine so those predictable irritations never bother
you again!
9. Orient life around your values. When you spend your days living in harmony
with your values, you become incredibly energized, peaceful, focused and
attractive!
10. Develop more character than you need! Beyond being good at your job, and
living with integrity, become very good at being YOU! Be a "real character", the
unique, gifted, complex and unforgettable individual that you were born to be.
Have fun with this list, poke holes in it, expand it, even criticize it, but
think about the idea that your professional relationship with a client must
begin with a good personal relationship. When your clients experience you as a
balanced, open, excited person who they enjoy being with...they’ll tell their
friends! Count on it!
