Why Landing New Clients Is Not As Hard As You Think

March 20, 20201 min read

I landed a new client today.

The reason they chose to work with me may surprise you.

It wasn’t because of my good looks. 💪

Surprising, I know :)

It wasn’t my low price.💰

In fact, they mentioned that one of the other companies they looked into was almost half my price.

It wasn’t my nice pants.

I was wearing jeans. 👖

From Costco.

They were only like $15.

$15 jeans from Costco.

So, if they didn’t choose me for my looks…

Or my price…

Or my pants…

Why did they choose to work with me?

FOLLOW UP

You see, I followed up every step of the way.

I followed up after I set the initial appointment…

…after the appointment…

…after I sent the proposal…

…before the next meeting.

Constant follow up and communication.

They knew exactly who they would get if they chose me.

The competition's follow up looked like this:

💩

So I won.

By default.

By forfeit.

Because I had a pulse.

(And my amazing offer and solution)

So the lesson here is this…

Would you rather hire a marketing agency for your business

That is (potentially) better looking, has a low price, and wears nice pants?

Or, would you rather hire a marketing agency

That wears Costco jeans and sets your business on a pedestal?

Who understands your business goals and works with you.

As a partner.

But they don’t get paid like a partner. 🙂

Talk soon!
