Getting Clients is Really Simple
by Travis Greenlee
As you are probably well aware, the service profession is evolving more rapidly than ever before. Competition, technology and consumerism are taking huge bites out of our business possibilities.
With this in mind, I'd like to share 5 battle-tested strategies that will create irresistible demand for your services, guaranteed!
1. You need to know how important marketing your business is, as well as providing your services. Most business owners have it backwards.

Well, I can tell you from personal experience, as well as with hundreds of my clients, it's simply not the truth. The key to building a long term, solid practice is the quality and consistency of your marketing as much as the actual delivery of your services. As Michael Gerber states in the e-myth revisited, working on your business much more than working in your business.
2. Learn to become a positioner. A positioner is someone who has developed a reputation as being an expert and leader within their field.
3. Don't forget to educate your prospects with what they want and what they need. Interuption based marketing no longer works. Your best clients want to be educated in terms of how you can help them to solve their problems.
Give your best information away and watch clients flock to you. You will position yourself as an expert and win the hearts of your best clients.
4. Design, create, sell and give away information products to generate leads. All highly successful service professionals are avid writers and producers of information products. The benefits of creating your own info products are many: beginning with creating passive revenue, allowing you to enjoy more time, freedom, and increased bandwidth to make a larger impact in the world.
In terms of positioning, creating an info product will attract highly qualified prospects who view you as an expert in your field, and as a result, will pay top dollar to work with you.
5. You must postion yourself as a specialist, not a generalist. In such a highly competitive environment, you have to be seen as a specialist in solving the problems of your prospects. People these days don't pay big money to work with a generalist.
I'm sure you've heard how vitally important it is to identify and define your target market. I can't overemphasize the importance of this. Without having a crystal clear idea of who you are, in terms of your strengths, gifts, talents, and experiences and who you will support based on your attributes, you are literally shooting yourself in the foot.
