So you want more clients… new clients, paying clients, preferably better-paying clients. This is something all businesswomen want, right? More clients mean more sales, more income, and more growth for your business. It’s pretty straightforward.
However, getting more clients has become like an enigma for many female entrepreneurs–– everybody wants it, but few are successful at it. Do you know why?
This is because it seems like a simple sales activity. But it’s actually a complex process that involves many areas of your business. If one of these areas isn’t set up correctly, it throws all the other areas off course, and you’ll find yourself struggling to close deals.
You see, getting more clients and growing your business is a holistic approach. It’s not just about one area. You need to work on all of them if you want to see the results you desire. I summed up all of these areas in a system I created, “The Women’s Blueprint to Business Success,” which you can check out here:
In this article, I discuss Area 1, Mindset; Area 3, Branding; and Area 4, Sales––how they all work together and what you need to take into account when you want to get new clients.
First of all, you have to know who your dream clients are. When you want to have clients, but you don’t know who they are, it is like you are fishing with a tiny little rod in the vast ocean.
When you have narrowed all the variables of your dream client down to all the specifics, you’ll see that fishing will be a whole lot different. It will be like fishing in a small pond where the fish are eager to bite, because you have the right rod and the best food.
You need to know your ideal clients before you can target them effectively. Think about these:
What is it that your dream clients are looking for?
What are their problems and their pain points?
Now that you know who your ideal clients are and what they need, how will they trust that you are the right person to go to? This is where the right positioning comes in.
You already know what your clients need, how will you serve them? What solutions will you provide?
Will you offer coaching or another service? How often will you meet? What do you teach in those meetings? Should you add extras (such as bonuses or freebies)?
The packaging and pricing of your offer is very important. This is a make-or-break action, and you have to have the right package for the right price.
What strategies do you use here to entice your clients to become attracted to your offer?
A common limiting belief for businesswomen is that they are not good in sales. It then becomes something they don’t like to do.
Others who believe they are good in selling, on the other hand, are still faced with deciding what strategy to use and so on.
This is why knowing how to sell your service, whether you believe you’re good in sales or not, is still a critical skill that all businesswomen should have.
Here are just some of the things you should consider when you’re figuring out your sales strategy:
Even when you have a client on the hook, there is still work to do to make sure that you close that deal. What if they say no? Do you just accept this answer or are you going to dig further and find out why they say no?
When objections happen, it means that your potential clients are not convinced enough. So they come up with a reason to not say yes to you now. What do you do to handle this?
When you know for sure that whatever you sell is going to help your client, you are obliged to help them towards a buying decision. That is what selling is all about. Helping people to see why they need your offer, so they won’t remain stuck in wherever they are now.
It is not about pushing, convincing, pulling, persuading.
If that is how you see it, selling will be hard. If you can shift your mind towards the fact that selling is doing your ideal prospect a service, everything else shifts.
And these are a lot of areas. There’s marketing, sales, mindset, branding, finance, positioning, copywriting, design, online marketing. Just to mention the most obvious.
Now all of that seems hard work when you do this with the masculine energy.
But when you initiate these actions with the feminine energy of abundance, trust, allowing and an inner knowing the universe steps in and will help you get the results you desire and deserve.
If there’s anything I learned in my 30+ years of business experience, it’s that the right help and support will propel you to greater heights. Having the right mentorship and encouragement will get you through even the toughest times in your business.
Wouldn’t it be amazing if you have a mentor and a business coach, plus a mastermind group that can teach you and give you more insight on your blind spots? Wouldn’t it be great to have a safe place to openly discuss your ideas so you can work not only on your business but on yourself as well?
I created my new program exactly for this reason. If you feel like this is what you need to turn your business around, now is the perfect time to do it.
