Grow Loyal Clients

Some of you may be wondering about blogs like the last one. I want to let you know that it's ok to be learning. Many people are too afraid of making mistakes which usually means not doing anything or not making progress fast enough. So my sometimes offbeat sense of humor comes through on occasion and sometimes the imperfections are simply obvious. I have found that many people on the net want to know a little more about you in order to do business with you. Letting some of the imperfections show is one way that people can get to know me, and, some of you can gain more confidence in what you're doing. Maybe you'll start your own blog.

If you click the titles of recent blogs, you'll notice that almost all of them are active links to other sites. My blog title link immediately prior to this is a fairly sophisticated system of generating traffic to your websites and I have made good contacts in the short time I have been actually using it. A friend in Washington recommended it to me months ago and I was too busy at the time to stop and really listen about all the features. I recommend using and exploring that site and you'll find you generate not just traffic, but relationships. For you who are new to business, you will definitely find that you cannot simply hide behind the internet. People want to know and trust you in order to do business with you. Of course, there are exceptions for you sticklers, but it's much smarter to develop relationships than to keep adding new clients and let old clients be neglected.

I have a site which can be very helpful in maintaining relationships with clients and have also started a blog relevant to that site and marketing/business tips in general. Take a look at these sites:

I have added a simpler page on my coaching site [which is also imperfectly in progress] which will allow you to start receiving coaching via the internet which will also lead to phone coaching for those in North America. If you simply let me know that you've seen this offer on my WeAreGrowing blog, I'll give you two months free coaching. Now, if there is much greater demand than I might expect given the traffic to my site, I may have to put some of you off until later. But, you'll still be in line for free coaching if you fill out the form on this page before January 16th, 2005. You may also ask questions here if you like.


New Coaching Page

I want to stress how important putting one foot in front of the other to build your contact grid. Use LinkedIn and you'll be amazed at the people you know 10 months from now. Look at previous posts...

OK. Just for fun I included a link to a site that's a little odd, but in a gentle way. You can click on today's blog title to visit this rock art site. Don't know if I'll be back before, so Merry Christmas!
