In any business you will have spikes and dips in your business, but if you are like most people, it's important to your bank account to keep business coming in as consisently as possible. In order to keep getting clients on a consistent basis, it's important to market consistently.

I really don't like when someone blatantly sells something to me. I find it annoying and rude. I know that people are out there trying to run a business. I get that. I have been running businesses myself for over 15 years. Sometimes it's tough to get the clients you need. The trick I have learned is that you don't want to sell. You want to build relationships. There are many different ways to build relationships. You can network, you can ask for referrals and word-of-mouth, you can use social media. I want to tell you a story.

The other members of the board recognized this quality and even mentioned in a meeting, "When someone does a great job when they are doing volunteer work, then just imagine how good they are when they are getting paid!" I got quite a few projects through referrals from that board of directors. By working with them even on a volunteer basis, they got to know me and what I had to offer. They don't hesitate to refer me to someone in need of my services. Watch this video to hear a story of being on the flip side of a relationship, or lack there of...

If your business isn't doing as well as you think it should, it's a good time to take a look at what you are doing. When a business is failing there are usually only three things going on. Either your services and products are not lined up with what your market is looking for, you are sending out the wrong message to your audience, or you are not marketing enough and in all the right places to get the exposure you need. Here's a quick video that will help you to realize what you need to do. To quit and move on, or to take the leap to give it your all and make the required changes.
