Throughout the past year I’ve heard from many who either subscribe to my emails or get info through Facebook and LinkedIn. And a very common question I’ve seen is “How do I get more clients?” And my first answer isn’t always what you wanna hear. But it’s true. The answer is “It depends on what you mean. And are more clients what you truly need?”
Before I get to the “more clients” question, imagine yourself in this condition…
What if you were down to the last two weeks of living expenses in your bank account? And what if you had a bunch of bills due at the end of those two weeks?
I read a story like that, from a guy who’d fairly well-known in the world of internet marketing. He said it was “a very stressful time” for him. Because his second child was only three months old. And they still had large, unpaid hospital bills. But, of course, that’s not all.
He and his wife had the American debt lifestyle. You know, mortgage payment, car payment, and all the other expenses of living as “a fairly typical middle class family.” Plus, his wife had been a stay-at-home mom for years already. So, he knew it was up to him to make something happen.
And he needed clients the day before yesterday. So, he certainly asked the same “how” question as you or I would in those circumstances.
But, what do you mean when you ask, “How do I get more clients?”
Are you just starting out and you don’t have any clients yet? If so, then “more” could mean your first one. Right? And if you’ve been in business a long time, and your clients list has dwindled or gone stale on you, then “more” might mean more action from them. Or replacement clients.
Or maybe business is going gangbusters and you wanna get all the clients you can while the “iron is hot” so to speak.
And that’s why I say it depends. Because each business owner (you included) is different from all the others. Even if you’re in the same business as somebody else. Because you don’t have the same gifts and talents or personality as anybody else.
And since it’s so true that people like to do business with people they know, like, and trust, you gotta build relationships. Because they lead to the number one way to get more clients. It works so well I include five relationship building sections in my RondaReady Book and RondaReady System.
Plus, I share four customer experience workflows you can use to build those relationships. And I show you how to make it all part of your daily operations. Every serious business client I’ve ever had has told me how much it helped them stay on track. It’s awesome when I see how much confidence they build up when they know how to build and trust their proven System.
And this proven System can get you to that number one best tool for getting more clients.
But I gotta warn you.
The RondaReady System, that’s already worked for many business owners, is too expensive for you if won’t do the work. It’s a lot of work…at first. But then you’ll see how to automate and delegate, and you’ll transition into a TRUE business owner.
You’ll work ON your business. Not IN it. And that kind of business owner never PAYS for my System. That kind of business owner gets all his new clients, customers, or patients to pay.
If that sounds like how you’d like your business to be, don’t delay. Get started today. And I’ll be with you every step of the way.
Get Ready to Be Ready and be the highly organized CEO of your own business, and…
Stay Ready,
Ronda
