How to Make Your Business Truly All-About-Them

How to Make Your Business Truly All-About-Them

Take your business to the next level by creating an 'It's All-About-Them' (IAAT) experience for clients. A company that is founded on the IAAT principle will have valuable services right "out of the box."

Ask any successful business owner and entrepreneur - they will tell you. In order to get new clients and keep the existing ones coming back for more, clients have to trust you, enjoy their experience, and find value in the service or product you're providing. In other words, it has to be all-about-them.

Maybe you did go into business for all the right reasons and you truly want to provide value to your clients, but are you actually practicing it? Even if you tell yourself that you run your business with your clients in mind, it's very common for business owners to get caught up in the day to day operations and simply run out of time or energy to continually make it all-about-them.

The desire to make your business all-about-them is the easy part. It's the creation and implementation of business models that allow you to practice it that may require some trial and error. Making your business all-about-them will make all the difference and accelerate it to a new level of success. Your business is a reflection of who you are as a person and if you're faking it for your clients - eventually it will catch up with you. To open your business up to the real possibility of success, you must conduct your personal and professional life with complete integrity and compassion for others. That probably goes without being said.

As much as any business would like to operate on an all-about-them principle, motivation for creating a business built on the principle requires passion; a passion for your business and a passion for helping clients. Are you passionate enough to build an all-about-them business? Connect with whatever feelings you can to get the fire burning. Maybe the motivating factor is the income and what money means for you and your family, or maybe it feels good to help people.

Whatever the motivating factor is, write it on a piece of paper and post it in your office where you can see it throughout the day. This will help to remind you why you're doing what you're doing and remain focused on creating an all-about-them business.

Listening to your clients and truly comprehending their needs is the most important factor when building a business that's all-about-them. Your business is completely dependent on your clients and if you don't make it all-about-them, it won't reach its true potential.

How do you transform your business to put clients first? How do you take an existing business that's all-about-them, to the next level? Write down the answers to these 10 questions:

1. If my business were really all-about-them, how often would each client see me each year, and how much time would they get?

2. If my business were really all-about-them, exactly what would I do for each person? (There may even be things you haven't thought of yet because you haven't had the time to think about it yet.)

3. If my business were really all-about-them, how would I make my clients' lives simpler?

4. If my business were really all-about-them, how much would they pay me for the value I provide?

5. If my business were really all-about-them, do they think what you do is worth it and how do you know?

6. If my business were really all-about-them, how many clients could I do all this for?

7. If my business were really all-about-them, how much time more or less time would I talk when we meet or talk on the phone? How much more would I really listen?

8.If my business were really all-about-them, how many people would staff my office?

9. If my business were really all-about-them, would I have strategic alliances and partners? If so, who would they all be?

10. If my business were really all-about-them, what would your life look like if it were really all-about-them? How would I take care of myself physically and emotionally?

Once you've brainstormed answers to the questions above, make a list of everything you now will be delivering to your clients and how it benefits them. You may be surprised to find that many of these benefits create a better, more manageable business for you, too.

Leanne Hoagland-Smith
Are your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?"
