Are you looking for the best way to upgrade your marketing in 2018?
If you think the most important element of acquiring new clients is the time you spend on your marketing efforts, or the number of events you are hosting, or how many times you are asking for referrals, or how often you are posting on social media – you will most likely be disappointed.
The most important element in ALL business development efforts is actually your words. If someone says your fees are too high, it is most likely your words (describing your value). If a seminar doesn’t work – it’s likely the words on the invitation or the words in your presentation. If your website isn’t converting visitors into appointments it is likely your words (not design). If your emails do not get recipients to click and find out more, it is likely your words. If your prospect meetings don’t close someone, it is likely your words.
