How much time do you spend kissing frogs? Talking to prospects who will never buy?

It may seem counterintuitive, but do you explain through your marketing who your products and services are for, and who it is NOT for?

If you are to profile the aspects of your best customers (good payers/easy to deal with/refer business), what do you notice?

If you start sharing stories about them, who might start contacting you?

What proportion of your income is recurring - i.e clients who use you on a regular basis?

If you ever look to sell your business, that’s one element that the buyer will be keen to see and it will increase the value of your business.

What can you do to encourage customers to buy more often?
The challenge will of course vary depending on both the nature of what you offer and who your customers are.

The best definition I have heard of the purpose of marketing is simply ‘to start a conversation’.

And that begs the question, who do you want to start a conversation with? Who is your ideal client? How deliberate are you in terms of who you want to reach out to?

Write down the categories/trades/demographics that match that profile and then look at your current marketing.

How well does it talk to them about their challenges and issues? Do you need to adapt your marketing?

A final share from the last 90 Day Planning check-in. This Business Owner shared how they are carrying everything around in their head rather than tracking and documenting.

For them, it means that no one has anything to look at to see what progress is being or not being made, and recognition that they can only remember so much before they start forgetting things.

How does that help productivity and decision-making? Their response is to set up the first part of the day to go through key numbers with key team members. It will be fascinating to see what impact that discipline has.

We’re probably all familiar with the KISS principle (Keep It Simple, Stupid), and this was another share by a Business Owner in the 90 Day Planning check-in.

For them, they were catching themselves trying to juggle too many balls so their keep it simple is focusing on completing ONE thing done at a time. Does that resonate with you?

A further share from the 90 Day Planning check-in.
If things aren’t go as well as they were, ask yourself “what have I stopped doing”?

It can be as straightforward as that.
For this Business Owner, they had got out of the habit of writing out their ‘non-negotiables’ for the following day, and as a result weren’t as focused and productive as they wanted to be.

Consistency is the bedrock for any successful business. So what good habits might you have let slip?

A really simple blinding flash of the obvious from the recent 90 Day Planning check-in session which was shared by 2 Business Owners.

“If I keep procrastinating on the same topic, get someone else to deal with it”.

As soon as they trusted themselves to do that, it generated movement.

So if you’re labouring over something, who could you delegate that to?

Listening to interviews with Business Owners, one tip they share is ‘delegate sooner’.

An earlier post this month referred to the condition of ‘SuperHeroitis’, and for the client concerned they learned the hard way when a key member of staff effectively confronted them with how this was making their ability to do their job really difficult.

The outcome was that the Owner has stepped back and allowed that team member to manage without being constantly reined in, and they have reported that the Owner is healthier and more relaxed.

Isn’t that how owning a business should be?
