The ReWork with Allison Tyler Jones

065 - Better Clients Part 2: Attracting the Perfect Client with Kathryn Langsford


Listen Later

If you listened to last week’s episode you got all the info you needed to AVOID hating your clients. 

This week, we are focusing on the POSITIVE. 

How to ATTRACT the perfect clients for your business and then bring them into your world and solve their problems, love on them, and make them clients for life. 

In this episode, Kathryn Langsford and I demonstrate how to attract the perfect client by creating a better service, doing the best work you can, and providing the best experience for clients. 

And that is only possible when you are very clear on the way you want to work.

In this episode, you will learn how to:

  • Create a well-defined service (that makes sense to prospective clients)
  • Make changes to your business but bring your existing clients along with you
  • Accept that not everyone is the perfect fit for your business

Creating a well-defined business and finding the perfect clients is an evolution; it takes time, but it’s oh so worth it. 

Let’s do the ReWork!

  • [20:16] - The job is not only to be available for what the client wants, but to educate them on what you provide exactly.
  • [22:10] - You will know through having a conversation with a potential client whether or not they are a great fit.
  • [24:59] - Show what you want to sell. But don’t show the things you don’t want to sell.
