Do you want retained clients, but aren’t sure how to get them? If a roster of well-paying clients who pay you an advance monthly fee for your administrative support and expertise is what you long for, your entire website and marketing message must be geared toward that goal.
You want to think of your whole website as a sales page with a singular goal: to get those retained clients. From there, it’s a bit of a dating process that happens a lot like this:
- You catch your prospect’s eye somewhere (through your marketing and networking).
- They observe you from the across the room (by visiting your website and taking a look around).
- They like what they see and hear and ask you out (by requesting a consultation or more information).
At this point, it’s important to understand that most people aren’t going to hire you right off the bat any more than anyone is going to be proposing marriage after one date.
Relationships develop and transpire over a course of time and interaction. Different prospective clients will have varying comfort levels initially.
This is the where most people aren’t sure how to proceed. Clients want them to “audition” by trying them out with small projects.
The problem with that, however, is when you fritter away your limited time and energy on nickel and dime projects, you are chasing after pennies instead of hundred dollar bills.
That small project might buy dinner that night, but it does nothing to help you achieve your long-term goal of achieving a well-earning practice. It only distracts you from building your real business and the work and focus needed to establish a retained roster of clients.
Some folks think: “Yes, but if I do a good enough job, maybe the client will eventually hire me on a retained basis.”
That almost never happens.
Your business and income can’t depend on hopes and maybe’s. You’ll never build a roster of well-paying monthly retained clients by chasing after penny-ante “sample” projects and letting the wrong prospect lead you around by the nose. To get a commitment, you must expect one.
