5. Step One: What Do You Want To Do And Why?
Everything starts with thoughts. You must be clear about what you are doing
and why. Your confusion will stop you from attracting clients, and it will affect
your results.
Also, lack of passion will lead to abandoning your plans as soon as you hit the first
bump on the road.
Therefore, you must find a
higher purpose to motivate
you.
Your purpose will give you
strength to move forward.

market and their needs.
You need to know what they really
want and need; otherwise, you will not
be able to attract clients.
No one goes to the dentist unless they
are in pain or trying to avoid pain!
Knowing what they need will enable you
to align your services and provide
solutions they want to solve their
problems.
That is what niche marketing is all about!

A niche is a specific service you provide
to your target market.
Clients are looking for results,
not your services.
Therefore, the key to becoming a
successful service professional is to help
your clients achieve the results they
want.
That is the value you provide and helps
you stand out in your market.

strategies and identifying the ones
that really work and produce the
results that you want.

Know your product.
Imagine every question a prospect might ask
and arm yourself with answers, linking each

the prospect to think, “Hmm, this will benefit
me.”
Know your prospect.
Visit websites, read company brochures, talk
to mutual associates, and do any research

What message is the prospect is ready for?
Especially if yours is a new or unusual offering,
you may need to help the prospect see the need
before asking for the order.
Set your sales presentation goal.
Often, your aim is an incremental step — to
prompt the prospect to request a proposal, to
schedule a meeting with a higher-level decision
maker, to arrange a demonstration, or to take
some other step to move the process toward its
final step.
Dress for success.
The general rule is to project your own business
image well while dressing at least as formally as
those to whom you’ll be presenting.
