Sponsoring a recent event, here’s what someone in my community had to say:

Did you know that one of the best ways to get more clients is through existing, happy clients?

It sounds like a no-brainer but you’d be surprised how many entrepreneurs totally forget about this strategy.

Instead, they spend lots and lots of money on all sorts of resources instead of going after – what we used to call when I was a Business Development Executive as, “low hanging fruit”.

Are you ready to attract more ideal clients?  Maybe that seems like a redundant question but before I share this awesome strategy I want to make sure you’re focused on the end results.

You see, I’m all about getting the results.  And, I’m all about sharing easy strategies to help you get there. 

Because, if you’re like me you’ve spent hours upon hours figuring out the “perfect” marketing message, the “perfect” tagline…the “perfect” messaging.  And, it’s often a frustrating process in the beginning trying to differentiate yourself from everyone else.

So, who better to sing your praises than another client, right?  It doesn’t cost any money.  It barely takes any time.

When was the last time you asked one of your clients for a testimonial?  This week…, this past month?  And, once you had it, did you promote it out into the world so others would be able to see?

Let me challenge you to ask a client this week for a testimonial for you. 

Lastly, understand that sharing these testimonials actually comes from a place of service.   As there are quite often a lot of choices of who your client could hire/purchase services from, these testimonials help differentiate what makes you, you.  That allows the reader/viewer to help self-select your services and what resonates with them.

I started with Kate with a 3-hour intensive coaching and immediately signed up for the 9-month program in November 2012. At that time, I was still on unemployment, had given a few parenting courses and had no regular coaching clients. By the end of the nine-month program with Kate, I went from being on unemployment to billing for $8000 in August when my program with Kate officially ended. Naturally I signed up for another program with Kate. Kate’s blend of working with mental beliefs, attitudes and blocks as well as the very practical tips combined with gentle yet clear and firm pushing to take action has been ideal for my style. And then there’s the great support and cheerleading for steps taken, the steps one tends to downplay. My confidence and my vision for my business have grown exponentially. Choosing Kate from all the coaching offers and making the investment in myself and my business has been a wise and rewarding choice.

Be Brilliant,

Kate
