Why Your Clients Will Pay More
It's a fact. Clients will always pay you more than you realize. How do I know? Because price is not the be-all-and-end-all of why your clients hire you. It's usually third, even fourth on their list of important reasons why they'll choose your service over someone else's.Let me get right to the point here. If you focus first on what matters most to your clients, the topic of price stays just that—a topic, not an issue.Here are 3 things your cl

Field Implementation: Getting Referred Leads When Prospecting
In our training workshops we often get questions about how to get "referred leads" so sales professional don't have to prospect anymore. It seems as if we will go to any length to avoid having to make cold calls.In the 28 years that I have been training sales professionals, I have seen very few who actually know how to actively pursue referred leads and even fewer who actually do.Now when we talk about getting referred leads when making cold calls,

A business plan is a must. The process of creating one forces you to organize your dreams and goals into a specific strategy. It brings forth issues you may have forgotten – maybe not thought of at all yet. It helps organize your efforts and focus them on the ultimate goal: Success.

The business plan is a solid, non-negotiable tool to measure progress. It actually simplifies your life. Why? It removes the emotion from decision making. As a business owner, you will be making a lot of decisions. All of them will impact your business.

Let’s consider marketing. I love marketing as an example. There are millions of ways to market a business. Some are costly and others are not. Some are appropriate and others are not.

You get so many minutes a day to air your commercial on XYZ radio. The investment is anywhere between $2,000.00 and $15,000.00 and a 12 month contract is required.

You listen to the benefits, get the cost and make a decision. What is the decision based on? Is it based on fear that someone else will do it and you will be left behind? Is it based on finances? Is it because today you are in a really good mood? None of these are good tools for decision making.

Anyway, you get the idea. There could be many more questions. The bottom line is that the business plan assists you in making objective and appropriate decisions for the business. The ultimate goal is success. A poor decision could slow down progress or ruin it altogether. Conversely, you could jump forward so fast you achieve your goal well before you planned.

An organization can be taken as a collection of individuals who banded together to work for a common goal.

If your clients feel wanted in the first place it is almost impossible to have someone else steal them away from you. Once lost you just need to gently keep after them by reminding them of your services, your appreciation of them, and your knowledge of their needs.
