How Client Attraction Marketing Works

by Business Article on June 4, 2007

I am a specialist in  “Client Attraction” because I find that this form of marketing is the least expensive and most powerful way to grow a thriving business.

I have been doing what I do for many years and sadly, I
have seen way too many business professionals struggle to
bring in more clients and to build thriving businesses.

I see good people leaving their chosen professions every
day because they are unaware of ways to get a steady stream
of good clients.   It is all so unnecessary.  If only they
had taken the time to learn marketing strategies that
actually work.

Unfortunately, they wind up spinning their wheels and going
nowhere because they are doing everything under the sun
they think they should do to go after clients instead of
concentrating their efforts where they belong: on getting
clients to come to them.

Let’s look at how client attraction works. Instead of
becoming a nuisance by pushing yourself on people who may
or may not be in the market for your services at the time
you’re sending your marketing message, client attraction
allows you to  “pull” potential customers towards you in an
incredibly powerful way.

With this type of marketing, you are not trying to “sell”
yourself, your product, or your services to anyone.
Instead, your aim is to become so incredibly “attractive”
that your prospect is drawn to you as a teenaged boy is
drawn to a cheerleader.  Master the strategies of client
attraction marketing and you can virtually become a “client
magnet.”

There are a number of low-cost strategies involved in
client attraction, but to me, it all starts with knowing
your craft.  This means embarking on a journey that
includes:

* getting the best training you possibly can (both
preliminary and advanced) from the best school or
organization you can find and afford

* becoming licensed or earning credentials if your
profession offers those choices

* taking continuing education courses in your chosen field

* joining and becoming active in your professional
association, both on a local and national level

* taking on a position of leadership in your professional
association

* being coached and/or mentored by someone who has achieved
the level of success you are seeking

* reading everything you can get your hands on that
pertains to your field

* listening to tapes and CDs about your field any chance
you can

* attending conferences, conventions, and trade shows that
will likely attract others from your profession

* going to hear speakers who are the voices of experience
in your profession

* creating high visibility for yourself within your
profession

* monitoring and becoming involved in your profession’s
e-mail discussion groups

* forming relationships with your peers.

These are all opportunities to learn and to grow both
personally and professionally.

Why, you might wonder, in an article about marketing, am I
devoting so much ink to learning and honing your craft?
Because when you know what you’re doing, you become
attractive to those in your target market.

When you don’t know what you’re doing, all the marketing in
the world won’t help you land and keep enough customers to
stay in business.  Remember, you are on a journey and each
of you is marking different mileposts along the way.  Like
all journeys, it takes time to reach your destination.

Keep your goals in sight.  Do not stop learning.  Be
patient with the process. Celebrate your accomplishments
and understand that whether you are a neophyte or a
seasoned veteran, you need to get the word out about your
services.

How do you do that without spending a fortune?  It’s really
very simple:

*  Stop trying to be all things to all people and you will
attract more clients.

*  Become a specialist and not a generalist and you will
attract more clients.

*  Target a distinct market segment and you will attract
more clients.

*  Become clear on who your ideal client is and you will
attract more clients.

*  Team up with others to create strong alliances and you
will attract more clients.

*  Follow up in a timely manner and you will attract more
clients.

*  Refer to others and you will attract more clients.

*  See and be seen and you will attract more clients.

*  Establish yourself as an expert and you will attract
more clients.

*  Put powerful systems in place and you will attract more
clients.

*  Stop giving your services away and you will attract more
clients.

*  Believe in yourself and you will attract more clients.

Bottom Line: When it comes to marketing, shift your
thinking from “attack” to “attract” and you will “Attract
Clients Galore.” ™
