Does this feel familiar? “I’m getting referrals, but turning them into clients is hard.”

So often, clients just don’t get it! You explain how you can help a company, you know you're right --but you get “No.” 

“No, I’m too busy to hire you...”

“No, sorry, working on your proposal is just not in the budget right now...”

“No, we’re already working on a strategic plan...”

That’s crazy talk. They just aren’t hearing you through their own noise, and they don't 'get' the dollar cost of their problems. You’re making a great proposal, and they’re hearing “Blah Blah Blah Ginger...”

Wait, it gets worse. You’ve probably invested scores of potentially billable hours getting to that “No.” Ouch.

Why "No?" There could be lots of reasons. But often, it's as simple as asking too much from initial meetings –which should just be a relaxed information gathering conversation.  The trick is to turn that relaxed conversation into a powerful report, instantly, which positions you to ask for a deeper discussion.

The secret? Easy. Talk about their baby: talk about their company. Talk about their company as an engine, an engine that generates revenues.  Scratch that: get THEM to talk about their business, their company, what’s working, and what isn’t. And do it quick, say over coffee --use a script, and capture the data.  Simple web tools can help.

If I could show you how to win a new client in 10 minutes, it'd be a no-brainer, right?

With a good script (hint: we have one), and a magic wand, you'll show them immediate, actionable insights fueled by what they just shared.

It's easy: our customers have done this with over 5,000 companies. Done right, 80% of the time “No” becomes a second date.  

Think this won’t work for you? Listen up: it’s working right now for hundreds of your peers. They’ve created $4 Billion (yes, Billions with a B) in value. They’re using a system so powerful, yet so elegantly simple, that the National Association of Certified Valuators and Analysts, and American City Business Journals (the biggest dogs in their spaces) are promoting it. This works. 

What are you waiting for? The easiest people to meet are the people you already know. And even strangers will give you a few minutes. In either case, the right conversation can unlock as much business as you can handle. All you need is guidance and support –at a price you can easily afford.

 As Nike says: “Just Do It.” You can dramatically improve the referrals you close –you just need a system. It’s that easy.
