Summary: I believe it takes the same amount of energy to obtain an ideal client as it does anyone who is breathing and not ideal. If you are going to invest time and marketing money into getting clients, why not get the kind of clients you want. You will probably need fewer of them anyway then if you just look for ‘clients’ (anyone to fill a slot). Before you talk to your existing clients and strategic alliances about referrals, you need to create an Ideal Client Profile. This description should be detailed and specific. Take advantage of the FREE online exercise to help you create your Ideal Client Profile at http://www.accountabilitycoach.com/. Think about who your best clients are right now, and consider what makes them so great. What attitudes and attributes do they have that you enjoy them so much? The clearer you are on what you want you will begin to attract them to you. You will be better at asking for what you want. You can join groups where you know these people are instead of just accepting anyone and needing even more clients to achieve your goals. Not make a list of your clients, peers, friends, and strategic alliances/centers of influence and potential strategic alliances/centers of influence (think outside the box) who you think have clients who fit your profile or they would know people who would fit your profile. Figure out exactly what you want, state it clearly, and allow the people you know to help you find them and attract them to you. Reap the rewards!
