Our Topic of discussion inspired many of our attendees to leave quotes as suggestions based on our topic of conversation. Read on to see what our attendees do when they have an emotional upset during their day.

Kim Knaak

Follow up with an email that ends in a question.

Schedule a one on one to have a discussion

Give them a calendly link to allow it to fit THEIR schedule

There are more ways to contact a client than via email… phone, LinkedIn, Facebook, etc.

Use testimonials in your message from satisfied clients.

If I can solve your problem for you, are you interested in working with me?

Add a $0 to whatever you’re currently charging.

The quality of your customers will increase and so will your bank account.

Laura Van Schyndel

Scheduling a meeting is definitely huge!

Not everyone is your customer!

Francois Lupien

To alleviate chasing clients after the deal is made I humbly suggest working on your presentation with perhaps the following process: Greet them, find out what they want, really want and ask questions to really understand them. Then educate them on what it will take to take them from where they are to where they want to be. Provide the outline of your offer and make them use their imagination to “future pace” what the successful outcome looks like, feels like and if they really want it. Then ask for the order, welcome and deal with objections to THEIR satisfaction and then say: Great let me get you entered into the system: Name, company name, how will you pay for this…and take the payment right there and then. Hope this helps and for more details reach out to me

Bill Sargent

 Recognize the possibility that your client may be going through something in their life that is preventing them from moving forward that may have nothing to do with you.

Jonathon Heider

schedule a short meeting – 15 minutes – to get to the point

what do you want vs what do they want

know your worth
