It’a true. I don’t have any clients.
I also don’t have any customers, newsletter subscribers or readers. Oh, and I don’t have anyone connected to me on social media either.
I don’t have them. They’re not mine. Instead, I borrow them.
Brace yourself…
The same is true for YOU
Once we’ve earned the attention and trust of a new client, a new customer, a new subscriber or a new social media contact, it’s just the beginning. We must then work to keep on re-earning over and over again. The moment we begin to think otherwise, we risk becoming complacent.
Then we find out the hard way: complacency causes casualties.
For decades, sales trainers talked about the importance of closing the sale. Some still focus on it today, though only in high-pressure sales environments. Closing the sale was all about using psychological tricks to motivate someone to make a purchase.
Once this was achieved, the deal was closed.
Today, we know better.
Today, we know better. The most successful business owners don’t focus on closing the sale. Instead, they focus on opening the relationship. This is the mindset that says when a sale has been made, a new client acquired or a new subscriber gained, it’s only the start. It’s the mindset that compels us to continuously seek better ways to delight them. It’s the mindset that inspires us to raise the bar on what we deliver.
Let your competitors become complacent. Let your competitors assume that the people doing business with them, are their clients or customers.
But not you, my friend.
Instead, remain focused on opening relationships, being useful and constantly delivering better value.
