Knowing Where to Start - 5 Key points to help you

One of the most common issues facing businesses, especially on-line business owners and entrepreneurs is: How do I attract the right type of clients for my business?

What differentiates the highly successful individuals and businesses from the rest? The answer lies in why they do what they do…

So where is a better place to start? The most important factors to consider is “your passion”. What are you passionate about? What drives you, and what do you believe in? What is it about what you do that you are determined to achieve? What is your purpose? What do you stand for?

Being able to answer this question clearly and succinctly means you are well on your way to creating a powerful message for your brand. If you cannot clearly explain why you do what you do, how will you ever get anyone to buy something from you?

To be successful, your passion, purpose and what you believe in, when clearly articulated will inspire someone to buy your product or service that will add value to their life.

In many, many cases they are too close to their business and cannot objectively see the true value of what they actually do for their clients. Moreover, they get distracted by what they ‘think’ the market wants to hear instead of what they should be talking about which is their passion and what truly believe in.

The starting point is being aware of what drives you. This is the reason behind why you started your business in the first place – Your Passion, Vision and Values that underpin your business. This is the reason why you get out of bed in the morning, what you truly believe, and what you are trying to achieve.

5 Key Points to keep in mind…

1. Based on your Passion, Vision and Values you must be really clear on what you believe. You have to have a good understanding of what is driving you. When you are passionate about something you don’t have to “sell”.
2. Remember, people don’t like to be sold but they love to buy.
3. Connect your passion with your clients – The “Why”… This is most important because it is the reason for doing what you do. This is your key message that will inspire your clients.
4. What makes them your client? They are your client because they are attracted to the “why” - because they believe what you believe. Once they identify with you and your brand they will want what you do.
5. Know your client: Who are they ... What do they think about? Once you know who they are and how they think, what motivates them and what pains them, then you can continue to have a conversation with them.

These days, in order to be successful, it is all about developing a relationship with your clients. Firstly, you have to be relevant to them, engage them and inspire them to take action.

By clearly and concisely articulating your purpose, you will inspire those people that believe what you believe. This "Why" statement alone will set you apart from your competitors.
