Attracting Clients With Little Marketing

Article Overview: Countless business owners get sucked into the marketing vortex. It spins your brain like a washing machine and then spits you out feeling frazzled. Trying to implement even a fraction of the marketing strategies that involve social media, doing follow up and giving away free information can suck up all of your time.

Attracting Clients With Little Marketing

As a business owner or sales person, your biggest challenge is attracting a steady flow of ideal clients. ‘Selling’ people on how great your service or products are can feel unauthentic and sometimes cheesy. The internet is full of experts and systems that tell you that their process will create a magical spell over your revenue.

Countless business owners get sucked into the marketing vortex. It spins your brain like a washing machine and then spits you out feeling frazzled. Trying to implement even a fraction of the marketing strategies that involve social media, doing follow up and giving away free information can suck up all of your time.

I’ve got a different strategy.

I call it the ‘energetic red carpet’ process. It’s not complicated, it involves none of your team members and it can be done anytime and anywhere. Best of all, it’s free!

I’ll take you through it right now.

1. Release the belief that you need to change your website, create opt-in pages, and have your elevator speech nailed down in order to attract an abundance of ideal clients, customers or patients.
2. Close your eyes and take a nice deep breathe in and then fully exhale out with a sigh. Repeat this step several times until you feel centered and your shoulders and face are relaxed.
3. Imagine your business has an enormous storefront in a highly visible area with lots of foot and car traffic. Now click on a huge neon sign that says ‘open’ in the window. Next, see yourself rolling out a red carpet from the front door to the street. You are energetically calling forth your most ideal target market…right to your front door
4. Notice how you feel while you energetically let the world know that you are open for business. You’re not hunting them down or doing back flips to get their attention. You are simply welcoming them into your space. Imagine hugging them and offering them something wonderful to drink.
5. Focus your energy on how they will feel once they use your products or services. Then ask your Business Expert']);"> Inner Business Expert (A.K.A. your inner guidance), “What is the next action I should take to allow my ideal target market to say YES to doing business with me?”
6. Follow whatever guidance you are given.

How was that for you? Did you feel a calmness replace the frenetic energy about attracting new clients?

I’m not against marketing at all. I just want you to relate to it as something you do to feel good about your business not to get business. When you market or sell with a desperate need for money behind your actions, it doesn’t feel good to you or your prospective clients.

When you energetically roll out the red carpet, they’ll be lining up at your door saying, “How soon can we start? Where do I sign?”

Re: Who Did You Learn Most From and Why? - Hi Martin, You missed out on the most essential community that helps you grow - Your Clients. Well, I believe that my Initial Clients have been the ones who have given me the moments of 'aha' in my business. They have stood by me even when I was a starter and that has helped me shape and build my stand. They have helped me grow as an entrepreneur, learn to have loads of patience and make the most of what comes across. They have also helped me to strengthen me as a person. btw, personally speaking, my Grandfather always kept me on track and lent me emotional support when I was down in any matter - be it business or otherwise.

Re: HOW DO I STAND OUT FROM THE REST? - Attracting customers towards business is always being a difficult task. Top brands always try to attract customers and make some unique TV commercials for marketing purposes. You need to work on the same pattern. Keep an eye on your competitor and use unique, new or out of the box marketing techniques to divert the consumer’s attention towards your business.
