Know the Problem
Your clients need you to swoop in and solve their issue. Do it right, and they will become your raving fan. Do it wrong, and you run the risk of damaging your business reputation.
To become their hero, you need to identify exactly what the problem is, and know how you are going to solve it with your products or services.
Your products and services should address a problem that is truly going to help your clients. To make their day easier, their task list shorter, show them a better return on their investments, make them feel fabulous, or increase their profits. Something that makes their life better.
But in order to solve it, you must first know what that key problem is.
Questions, Questions, Questions
The questions are actually the answers for your business. By asking your clients things like ‘What are your biggest challenges?’, ‘Tell me your top 3 goals for this year?’, and ‘What takes up the most time in your day?’ you can work out their client problems.
Take the answers to those questions and work out a way to solve the problem that is either convenient, cost effective, or timely for your client. Once you know your client niche, and how your products or services can help them, you will be on your way to carving out a great client offering.
