If you want to be successful in business, you’ve got to find a way to impress those around you. They are the ones who will invest in it and pay lots of money to secure your services. Indeed, the difference between a blossoming company and one that fails to make profits is often down to this. For something this important, you really need to push the boat out. Here are five things you can do to impress potential clients.
Preparation Is Key
So, you’ve got the call. You know that a potential client is interested to hear about your services, and they want to hold a meeting. What do you do in this situation? You start preparing. Right away. Do extensive research on who they are, and start developing a plan of action. You need to try and pinpoint the best ways that you can provide assistance in their circumstances. When they visit, they want a reason to invest in you. You have to find that reason before they arrive.
Plan For The Future
If there’s one thing that shows a company isn’t treating things professionally, it’s having a lack of future plans. Clients want to know that if they are investing in your business, they will get a lot out of it in the long term. It will come across very prominently if you’re only thinking about the present. Show them where you want to be in five or ten years time, and discuss how their investment would benefit from this.
Encourage Professionalism In The Office
In many cases, when clients want to hold a meeting, they’ll come to your premises. That means that you must make a fantastic first impression. Ask your cleaner to do an extensive clean of the building beforehand. Importantly, your employees need to work with you to make this a successful meeting. Ask them to tidy any clutter and act responsibly while they are in the building. Insist that they wear their work uniforms for the occasion to add an extra element of professionalism.
Provide Extensive Documentation
Just because these clients are interested in your business, it doesn’t mean that they will be willing to spend a whole day with you! They have places to be, and they’re busy people! As a result, you’ve got to be able to capture their attention in a short amount of time. But what about all the information that you can’t get around to? This should be provided via documentation. Give them leaflets, booklets and much more to go away with. This not only gives them info, but it looks great.
Don’t Be Afraid To Spend Money
Sure, you don’t want to spend too much money, but going the extra mile to impress a potential client can be important. It shows them that you’re taking their interest seriously. If a big deal is on the cards, spend a little to improve the office or even the way you dress. If they suggest meeting for lunch, pay for their lunches.These are only small things, but they could push the deal over the line.
