Three Easy Ways to Attract New Clients!

As my coach once told me: There is no one right way to attract new clients and build business. If there were, everyone would be doing it!

Wow, permission to grow my business as best suits me! Taken a step further, my business thrives when I do what I love and what I do best!

Why this emphasis on conducting business in the manner which best suits our personality and preferences? Because our uneasiness comes through when we are outside our comfort zone, and potential clients can read that discomfort in our tone, body language and speech.

For instance, when I reentered the world of dating in 2002 I had fun as I met several interesting men, made some new friends and became clearer on what I wanted in a potential mate. I remember one blind date in particular however when I was SO nervous. I do not know why, but I just could not relax that evening. Guess what, no second date. I was finding it difficult to be myself and that nervousness came through for both of us.

A few weeks later I enjoyed another first date, this time feeling sure of myself, relaxed and looking forward to the meeting. We hit it off right away. So much so that we will be tying the knot in November. Being myself was and is key to my relationships with others, personal and business.

As you consider these ways to attract new clients, honor yourself by keying in on methods that are an easy match to your talent, temperament and soul. Potential clients will pickup on your positive energy and perceive you as the winner you are!

  • Write an e-zine or blog. Readers will subscribe to an e-zine that provides them with useful information. In addition to your status as an expert, you retain contact information for potential clients; a key to building business!
  • Book reviews. Offer a bookstore your services to review a book that speaks to your particular area of expertise. This can be as simple as a 15-minute talk followed by an interactive discussion. The bookstore is able to display and promote multiple books on related topics, and you place yourself directly in front of potential clients who are interested in your topic. Talk about a win-win situation!
  • Join a local organization that will bring you in contact with like-minded individuals. Be it the chamber of commerce, the YMCA, a philosophical or church group or a healing center discussion group. By doing so you again place yourself in direct contact with potential clients who share an interest in your service.
These are just three examples (writing, speaking and networking) that put you in direct contact with potential clients. As a bonus, here are 10 more! Decide which resonate with your individual style and give them a whirl.
  • Offer free or reduced price samples of your service or product
  • Form a partnership with a similar service provider
  • Join a professional organization targeted at your specialty
  • Develop a website
  • Auction sessions or services on ebay
  • Write book reviews on Amazon.com on an area related to your specialty
  • Ask for referrals from each of your friends, associates, and family members
  • Volunteer to lead a discussion group related to your area of expertise
  • Place coupons for your service at related, though not competing businesses
  • A combination of the above
Join me next month when I will ask you, Are you charging what you are worth?

Until then, Blessings & Light,
