If you listened to last week’s episode you got all the info you needed to AVOID hating your clients.
This week, we are focusing on the POSITIVE.
How to ATTRACT the perfect clients for your business and then bring them into your world and solve their problems, love on them, and make them clients for life.
In this episode, Kathryn Langsford and I demonstrate how to attract the perfect client by creating a better service, doing the best work you can, and providing the best experience for clients.
And that is only possible when you are very clear on the way you want to work.
In this episode, you will learn how to:
- Create a well-defined service (that makes sense to prospective clients)
- Make changes to your business but bring your existing clients along with you
- Accept that not everyone is the perfect fit for your business
Creating a well-defined business and finding the perfect clients is an evolution; it takes time, but it’s oh so worth it.
Let’s do the ReWork!
