7-Second Thoughts August 23, 2024

Your client’s not better than you

Your client’s words, on the other hand, are WAY better.

And that’s really what you’re after

When selling a high-priced service

Is your client’s words

Not yours

See if this helps:

Before, during and after the sale

Consider focusing a good bit of your effort

Toward understanding what they want

What’s missing in their life

And should you wind up working together

What that might look like 

Both during

And afterward

In their own words.

See if this helps a wee bit more:

If there’s a common theme among these last few emails, it’s that you are doing your level best to coax your clients into writing the bulk of their own proposals, agendas, expectations and outcomes. The bulk of your writing, on the other hand, involves coming up with questions that direct your clients’ thinking toward what you need them to start thinking about.
