Rainy Days and Tuesdays



Howdy Friend and Subscriber,

There’s just something about a rainy day . . . especially if it lands on a Tuesday! And I can’t think of a better way to spend it. And that’s with you my loyal reader. 

Today you’re in for a real treat. For some reason I feel really, really generous but we’ll get to that in a mo…

But for now let me share a quick story with you. Actually it’s a story a good buddy shared with me and it’s worthy of passing along. And believe it or not it has something to do with growing your biz.

It’s a typical yappin’ on the phone session with one of my Best Buds telling him all about my kickin’ Thanksgiving. Our family Thanksgiving tradition consists of spending the holiday with my Sis. And boy does she roll out the red carpet for the everyone . . . Plump, juicy turkey roasted to perfection, garlic mashed potatoes, delicately prepared veggies as far as the eye can see along with all the trimmings and a bottle of bubbly to boot. Actually my Brother-in-law is the Chef on duty. Has been for years. Good stuff. We capped the evening off with a warm patio fire, good conversation and a few bottles of wine.

So my Bud proceeds to describe his day of thanksgiving. Seemed pretty much the same drill . . . family, good food and fun. As he shared his Thanksgiving story it reminded me of how our clients want, in fact long to be treated . . . like family (see I told somewhere buried in this post there was a point). 

I know what you’re thinking. Not everyone has a warm, loving and helpful family at their bosom. In fact it could be very likely it the opposite. Actually it doesn’t matter. But suspend that thought for just a moment. Think about your prospects and existing clients and their problems and YOU become that *family* member.

Think about how your business can be like that family member who’s willing and able to step up to the plate and offer love, concern and a true solution to your most pressing problem? You’d quickly gain a lifetime friend and client.

Want to know the quickest way to get a new *lifetime* client? It’s simple. Offer to solve their most pressing business problem and do it on the house. Give them a little sampling (at no charge or obligation to buy more) of what value you have to offer. Let them experience firsthand just how awesome it is to do business with YOU rather than your competitors. I guarantee you will profit over the long haul. 

Oh, so you can’t afford to give away stuff? Bull, says I. Once you know the a little thing called lifetime value of a client, I believe you’ll change your mind.

Start by finding out what the lifetime value of your client. Here’s how. Say you sell widgets at a unit price of $100/unit. Your typical client buys one widget 3 times a year and they stay with you for 3 years. That boils down to $100 x 3=300 x 3=900. So that client is worth $900 over the next three years. 

This makes your breakeven at $900. In other words you could invest up to $900 getting a new client and you’d breakeven. Knowing the lifetime value of your typical client puts you in the driver’s seat, crushes your competition and allows you to get new clients quickly. Give a try . . . I’m certain you’ll be pleased with the results.

I’d mentioned that I’m feeling really generous earlier. Well, I meant it. So I have a deal that’s hard to refuse . . . 

If you happen to be like the majority of my clients, you too are frustrated, disappointed and downright discussed with the results of your marketing efforts. If you’re ready to turn dead end, non-producing advertising into influx of hot leads, and sky-rocketing sales, then you’re in for a treat.
