The sales process doesn’t stop when your client has signed the contract!

When you have a brand-new client, your onboarding process is an essential part of your sales process.

You need to make a good impression, set out the expectations and boundaries and orientate them on what’s going to happen. Communication at this delicate time is critical.

If you need to disappear for a reason, maybe to crack on with their strategy for example, tell them that.

If you don’t always have your emails on and prefer to be contacted by WhatsApp – let them know!

I have seen deals lost during this crucial time, even with a signed contract, and you worked so hard to get them to this point.

And even when you have your lovely new client embedded into your business, the sales process is still ongoing.

Most of our business comes through referrals, which we are super grateful for.

Our brilliant members love to shout about how great it is being a part of this community and the difference we make in their business.

You need your clients to be doing the same.

There is nothing more powerful than a referral to generate more sales.

If you were thinking that the sales work is done and dusted the moment that a new client signs up, don’t be fooled. Always be selling.

Feeling a bit overwhelmed right now?

One of the themes that has come up with many of our clients is feeling like they are doing the jobs of many.

This is common for small business owners.

The whole business often relies on you and, for many of you, you are the business.

As we’ve said many times before, running a business will amplify how you feel.

If this is you right now, here are four things that you can do:

1️⃣ Stop beating yourself up! It’s tough for many business owners right now and running a business is hard. Be kind and compassionate to yourself and use nicer words.

2️⃣ Acknowledge your achievements. Our brains are wired to spot the negatives. Take time to look at everything you have achieved and are achieving on a daily basis. Look at any positive feedback you have from clients and note all the little things that happen that are good.

3️⃣ Look after your self-esteem. Self-esteem is like armour. When you have high self-esteem, criticism bounces off you. When it’s low, you are more sensitive to everything going on around you. If your self-esteem is low, check out this awesome resource to get you back on track. https://biggerbrighterbolder.co.uk/reboot/

4️⃣ Make a plan. Start getting everything down on paper, make a list and prioritise what needs to be done, then focus on one thing at a time, staying in the present moment. Turn off notifications and alerts to help you concentrate and be disciplined about opening emails and social media.

It’s normal to feel overwhelmed from time-to-time as a business owner. The good news is that there is always something you can do about it.

We love it when our clients are winning 🥰

Every month, they share their highlights and achievements for two very important reasons.

Firstly, we’re hardwired to look for the negatives and can often overlook our success. So, reflecting on what you’ve achieved in a month reminds you that even if you’ve had a tough one, things have still gone well.

Secondly, it inspires the whole group!

If you’re sat in a room of your business peers and you’re all sharing what’s possible, you will be filled with the energy to go out and achieve in your own business.

Community is everything.

We're proud of each and every one of our members but here is a little taster of some of the highlights from last quarter (and we have so many that to share them all would fill your feed).

Wouldn’t it be nice to clone your favourite clients – the ones who really value what you do, advocate for you, pay well and pay on time?

What if I told you that you are only five days away from building a learnable, repeatable process to find more clients just like those you love to work with?

And even better, that you will enjoy doing it as well.

I have a 5-day email course ready and waiting to hit your inbox that will break down exactly what you need to do to have a reliable stream of brilliant clients coming through the doors.

The best bit? It’s completely free. You can sign up here: https://biggerbrighterbolder.co.uk/free-inbox-insights/

And I know that it works because I’ve been using it myself for years.

We need more small businesses to thrive and the only way to do this is by getting more clients. That’s why I’m sharing all this knowledge with you, for free.

So, if you’re ready to get more of those brilliant clients that you love working with, make sure you get the 5-day course today.

There are three areas of business that you need to get right if you want your business to thrive even in tough times.

These are mindset, methodology and modelling.

Often, business owners will have one or two of these in place and be struggling with the third.

It’s that which is holding you back from building the business you want.

Except, we’re often too close to our business to see what really needs to be done.

This is why BBB created a quiz to help you identify where you need to put your efforts to grow your business.

You can take the quiz here: https://biggerbrighterbolder.co.uk/are-you-ready-to-grow-your-business/

The results might just surprise you.

Are you 100k ready?

21/01/2025

In December, George helped over 100 business owners understand what it takes to break the 100K mark in their service-based business.

The 90-minute workshop took them through the areas they need to concentrate on to stop undercharging and over-delivering and start building the business they want.

The workshop is back later this month.

Will you be joining us?

It’s on Wednesday 29 January at 10am.

Just blowing our own trumpet - we’re finalists for another customer service award 🎉🎉 🍾

This means the world to us and the BBB team, as we all pride ourselves on the standard of service we give to our members.

We support our members from navigating the panic to celebrating the wins. We live for the messages about how they’ve hit their goals or had the best month ever. We know our members personally, and we support them through it all.

It doesn’t happen by chance, it’s carefully and meticulously planned that way.

We are selective about who we work with, which means we can maintain our standards of cultivated amazing groups and – we may be being biased – but we have some of the most talented people in the UK in our membership 🥰

So, getting shortlisted for this award is recognition of all of our team efforts and the brilliant members we have.

🤞 Fingers crossed for the awards ceremony in March.

Mindset is a big part of running a business and it’s too easy to overlook.

That’s why we're so impressed by what Kim Hughes has achieved since joining BBB.

Her mindset has been transformed and that’s also meant looking at other areas of her business, including pricing.

Kim moved from day-rates to outcome-based pricing and is now charging what her services are worth.

As Kim says: “I don't even recognise myself any more. There are conversations I have now that still surprise me.”

We love it when we bring all of our members together. 😍

These are such special events and people make the journey from across the UK because they know how much they’ll get from being there, meeting other business owners, and talking to people they don’t usually see.

Lots of friendships have been made in BBB but also a lot of collaborations and one of the things that makes me most proud, is how everyone welcomes in the new members. 🤗

No one is sat on their own at these events.

Everyone makes the effort to talk to members outside of their groups.

Plus, the content we share at these events sets everyone up for the coming months.

Our next one is the Big Kick-Off in January, and we can’t wait.

Who hates having their photo taken?

Not Tracey actually but George Swift doesn’t love it.

The gorgeous Bori Bojthe the Empowering Photographer made the photo shoot very relaxed and easy and got some cracking shots for the new website. 🙂

We've loved looking through them all and can't wait to use them! 🙂🥰

Our members have been getting some epic results but we’ve been shy in sharing them with you. Check out these highlights from the Summer to see what our members were achieving during the traditionally quiet period of the year.

December can also feel slow for some businesses so it’s good to see what’s possible before the Christmas period is upon us.
