4P Screen For New Clients

Banks Cant Sell - By Donald F. Pooley

A recent issue of Fast Company, a magazine for small-company CEOs, recommends screening new clients based on these 4 Ps:

1. PEOPLE: Will you enjoy working with this client?
2. PROJECT: Will your work for her or him advance you?
3. PROFIT: Will you profit from this account?
4. PLATE: Too much on your plate already? Will yet another client add too much work for you or your staff?
Don't take on work that will reduce the quality of the work you do right now. When you just scrape by, you can't afford to screen out new clients as you need them.
But as soon as your business grows, become gradually more selective. In the long run you will grow faster and enjoy higher profits, and less stress, if the new clients you take on are appropriate for your business.
