Most consultants and coaches usually get stuck trying to get clients and unfortunately, it is because they end up spending their money on the wrong things when starting out in their businesses.
Some of these things may not bring them, clients, directly, but they may be things they think that they have to do.
Some consultants and clients might spend hundreds of thousands of dollars establishing their businesses and coaching but they may still find themselves without any clients for months or even years.
You might have a Facebook page, business cards, a beautiful logo, or a cool website and all the marketing necessities but clients may not come as easily as you wanted them to come.
Lots of things can occupy you when you have a business but you really want clients for your coaching or consulting businesses, then you need to focus on the following things.
First, you have to determine who your ideal clients are as this will allow you to proceed with the marketing process.
You can narrow down on your exact client by identifying who they are, their titles, their locations, their industries, obstructions, desires, and frustrations that they are facing in their businesses.
This will enable you to direct your marketing and messaging specifically to them. Focusing on your target clients allows you to make a name for yourself, establish your brand, and develop a profile for your target clients.
This profile will help you make sure that all your marketing collateral resonates with your target clients.
You can also get more clients by using a marketing approach that can get you in front of target clients directly, effectively, and quickly.
Some coaches and consultants make the mistake of marketing on other platforms or on social media when they do not even know if their target market is there.
Find out where your ideal client is by identifying the groups or associations they are part of, the publications they read, the websites or blogs they visit, and the events they attend.
Next, you have to determine what your ideal clients genuinely want so you will be able to develop irresistible messaging that speaks to them directly and helps to solve their problems.
This way, your marketing will resonate with them and they will be drawn to whatever you are selling. Ensure you do your due research and speak to your clients instead of simply assuming what they want.
You should always be of the mindset that your expertise is valuable to your clients and therefore you should be compensated accordingly for it in order to add value to your clients, to the marketplace, and to yourself.
This puts you in a better position to see what your clients are struggling with and how you can be able to assist them.
Your approach should be more aggressive than pushy. Try to be more curious about your clients and where they want to be in the future and then show them how good you are at helping them get to this point.
