One Cost Effective Way To Lead Your Team To More Success

2022-08-07T16:12:10-04:00April 9th, 2019|Leadership|0 Comments

One great way to provide value to your team is to help them grow. Whether it’s growing their career or growing their book of business, sharing resources that have helped you may help them, too. Books can be very inspiring—I’ve confirmed this many times in my life. For example, on two separate occasions, I’ve tasked assistants with organizing my business library. Just from reading the titles (and perhaps some skimming), these assistants were motivated to ask me how they could start their own businesses! Most firms don't think about creating an office library, but books are still a very budget-conscious and effective way to share knowledge. Reading is a top strategy for many industry leaders. That’s

Ways to Create Customer Loyalty in Business

Remember Me, PLEASE! The power of a phone call: A recent phone call I made brought a client to say "Wow, I can't believe you called (said 3 times!). People don't call any more just to talk, this is great, I rate a phone call." The power of a gift: A business gift, like a funny pen or note paper, purchased from the clearance area of a big box office supply store rates smiles, showing off, and may bring you a photo of clients that says "world's #1 Coach". Loyalty doesn't cost a lot. It's in the niceness of life.    Thanks to: Maria Marsala of . View 100+ More Ways to Create Customer Loyalty on Carol

The Best Ways To Deal With Difficult Customers

Charge Them More! Create an ideal client profile and pay attention to its outcome. If you're not a hand-holder, create interview questions that will let you know that your clients can easily make their own decisions. Listen as the prospect answers. Most of us can catch "clients from hell" during the interview process (although we might not pay attention to our gut). If you want to work with the client anyway, raise your rates to accommodate the extra time it will take you to get this client's project done. Thanks to: Maria Marsala of Elevating Your Business.

Advisors It’s Time To Kick Your Fears To The Curb And Pick A Niche!

2022-08-07T16:12:11-04:00March 24th, 2019|Niching & Attracting Ideal Clients|0 Comments

There is probably no topic that makes an advisor’s eyes go wider and fingers clench tighter.  The topic?  When I suggest to the advisor that perhaps, maybe, she should consider choosing a niche.  I may be imagining this since we are usually on the phone, and she is not in my line of sight.  Nevertheless, the response often conjures up a mix of fears and myths.  It usually goes something like, “I can’t choose a niche because . . . . . . I can’t afford to say ‘no’ to clients! . . . I won’t have all the clients I want to grow my firm! . . . It’s going to be hard to find
