Selling yourself to new clients

Sales is a lot like dating and the secret is paying attention to the details – just like you would on a first date.

Some tips for attracting-and keeping-new clients!!

  • Desperation is NOT attractive. Approach prospects as if you didn’t need their business – but would like it.
  • Make them know you want them. Be interested but not too interested and if the match doesn’t fit, you must be willing to walk away.
  • Confidence is key. Prospects want to work with people who are confident – please don’t be arrogant!
  • Listen more than you talk. Ask questions.
  • Image is everything. You wouldn’t leave for a hot date without looking your best, so don’t show potential clients a less-than professional appearance.
  • Go where the people are. You can’t find prospects by sitting at home.
  • Nobody likes a whiner. Let clients vent, but don’t expect them to listen to why you had a bad day.
  • Always call. Call them the next day to follow up on previous conversation.
