REALITY CHECK: We are 5 months through 2010 and have 7 full months left. How is your 2010 going?

You are at one of 3 places:

1) Exceeding Expectations - Overdelivering on your goals and targets
2) Meeting Expectations – On task and scheduled to meet your goals
3) Below Expectations – Struggling or behind target on your goals

Wherever you are, we’d love to support you.

Average business spends 6 times more time and money attracting a new client than it does to keep old ones. Most of you know 80% of your business will come from 20% of your clients. Here are a few things you can do:

1) Provide a Welcome Package – Creates a sense of loyalty, something tangible to hand to the client, and an easy avenue to spread the word about you and offer referrals.

•Thank You Note
•Marketing Material Highlighting the Benefits of Your Service (Prevents Buyers Remorse)
•Client Testimonials and Case Studies
•Referral Cards
•Coupons for discount or special offers (Don’t overdo it here, a simple incentive is enough)
•Promo Items with Your Logo or Info
•Service Guarantee Statement (Best if printed like a certificate)

2) Ask for Referrals – Be a recommended resource by your clients. Here’s an effective script you can use to increase your referrals.

•Awareness – “As you know, most of my business is based on referrals.”
•Define – “A good referral for me is…”
•Brainstorm – “When you think of referrals, think of… ” (ppl in church, kid’s schools, employers, former co-workers, clubs and organizations, friends, family, etc.)
•Ask – “Of all the people you know, who would be the best referral for me?”

These two tips will boost your repeat business and referrals. Stay tuned for next month’s Strategy Tip of the Month. Subscribe to Genius Squared updates on your right.
