Becoming a Client Magnet
Becoming a Client Magnet
This is the very first step to becoming a client magnet, and it involves creating a strong platform for yourself. There are thousands of coaches and consultants out there-what makes you different? Creating a strong platform is about finding what makes you different from everyone else and then conveying that with enthusiasm to the world. The stronger your platform, the stronger your "magnetic" attraction power.Money Magnet
2) Be a Connector
If you can serve as a connector for others, you (and your services!) will be valued. Know someone who needs an accountant? Know a good accountant looking for new business? Connect them! The best marketers are also the best connectors. They are the "go-to" people for information and resources. If you can establish yourself as a connector, you can build a very credible reputation through word of mouth.
3) Hone your Listening Skills
If you are always talking about your business, when do you have time to listen to other people’s needs? Take the time to listen to other people’s stories when you meet them. This will allow you to quickly discover if there is an area in which you can help them. Not only will they appreciate your listening skills, they will be more open to your "customized" advice.
4) Ask for Referrals
Never feel shy when asking for referrals from your current clients-especially if your work together created impressive results for them. Don’t assume your clients will go around bragging about what an excellent job you did. So, just let them know that you are open to taking on more clients and would appreciate their referrals. Most people are happy to spread the word. Just don’t forget to thank them wholeheartedly when they do!
5) Partner with Others
Find other coaches and consultants whose services compliment yours and start a joint venture with them. It doesn’t have to be a long term partnership, but you can partner together to host a seminar or write an E-book. This will give you both increased exposure.
Bonus: Be PERSISTENT
The coaches and consultants that do well for themselves and turn their practices into client magnets are the ones that work at it. They try different angles, invest in their business, provide value, and be persistent.

Bernard ReberBack in late 1992, MS Access hit the streets. About that time the company I managed needed new software to handle their growing client base and I decided to try this new product. I had little difficulty writing and adapting a database to suit us and discovered a hidden talent for programming. A business was born. With business studies and 25 years of management experience in three different countries under my belt, I could offer a unique combination of skills and my customers agreed. From these humble beginnings my software 'invoiceit' emerged in 1999 and has since been taken to 49 states (hello Wyoming, won't you join us?), all across Canada and more than 70 other countries. From the very beginning the program included cashbook accounting, the simplest form of keeping financial business records. The Dictionary.com defines 'cashbook' as "A 'book' in which to record money received and paid out". For 'book' substitute 'simple software' and that's what I'm about. Now I have published Simple Accounting, an inexpensive spreadsheet solution which even you can master. For just $14.95 it costs less than a takeout meal!
