A small tip to standing out
|
Reality is —and this work in your favor— that the bar is SO low. Most of the businesses in your industry and in your market claim they have great service, "experience" (wtf is it anyways?), solutions. Yet when things go South, they do a little bit less of the bare minimum. You doing a little bit over, makes you stand out. Know why? Because clients don't care about the bare minimum. They care that they're taken care of. That they're understood. And there's action behind the words. When you do this, even in times of crisis, with them having a problem and you're still trying to solve it, they'll want to do MORE business with you. And that's the kind of clients you want. |

And find your way to get to your ideal. Where you can say No confidently. Free of fear.
You can set up a price on: the market your costs your desired margin your desired profit what you want to make at the end of the year your effort how long it takes you to deliver how long it takes you to produce the conditions of your competitors your passion your revenue goal what you feel your worth is what you time your time costs how long it took you to learn and excel at it Here's the pattern with all of these: they're all about you. They have nothing to do with your customer. Nothing to...
