If you were to tell me 5 years years ago that I would have a waiting list of women wanting to work with me and a successful online business, I would have thought you were crazy!
I can honestly tell you though, the time, energy and dedication it took to get to ‘waiting-list status,’ took a lot of blood, sweat and tears.
Here’s how I did it (and exactly what you need to do too!)
- I fiercely committed my time to providing valuable content. From recipes, to blogs, to social media posts; I committed to posting daily and weekly, sharing amazing, incredible information. And I’m not just talking about giving people a small piece of the pie, I’m talking about giving your best stuff away… for free! Yes, free! You need to be willing to give away your best content for free.
THIS is how you get raving customers.
You first have to turn them into fans and then you can turn them into customers.
- I put myself out there. Of course if I’m blogging and posting on social media regularly, then of course I’m ‘out there,’ but what I really mean is that you need to literally tell people WHAT you do and that you are available for calls and appointments. People need to hear this from you. I go on Facebook and promote my services all the time and if you want raving customers, you need to do this. This really does require some lady balls and confidence, but I promise; the more you do it, the more you’ll be comfortable with it.
- You have to understand social media and how the different platforms work. For example, both Instagram and Facebook are very visually compelling. So, don’t go on there and just post an ok photo or post super long text. The images need to speak for themselves and get your fans interested. Twitter is different and is more text based. Go on there and share an incredible health stat or give an amazing health tip in under 140 characters. Knowing how these platforms work and function will make it easier for you to use, as well as for you to communicate to your audience.
- And the biggest tip of all…. (drum roll please), you NEED to offer complimentary consult calls, especially if you are selling a high priced service or program. I never ever put my prices for my programs on my website or email them over to a potential client. I ALWAYS schedule complimentary calls with potential clients, speak with them on the phone, understand them, listen to them, know why they might have failed at a program in the past and create a relationship with them before I EVER tell them the price of my program. I keep time open in my calendar on a weekly basis to schedule in complimentary calls and I’ve been doing this now for over a year. THIS is how I get raving customers who pay me the big bucks.
Now, it’s your turn. Don’t feel overwhelmed by this info, instead, feel empowered! Choose one of the tips from above and start implementing it today!
