Want more of your clients to be champions for you and your services?
When you are truly inspired by your clients and you serve your clients with authenticity, your clients will become your greatest champions. I am blessed that as an Achievement Coach, I have been able to provide guidance, collaboration, and partnership to so many creative, ambitious, and excellence-driven professionals and entrepreneurs. One client in particular comes to mind today... She's a mother, a wife, and a professional with integrity. She had discovered through self-introspection that her career no longer inspired her and that it had lost integrity for her. She knew she needed to manifest change in her life, and so she turned to the services of an achievement coach for insights and collaboration on her journey of self-discovery and transition. (Because I provide all of my clients confidentiality, she will remain nameless for this article.)
After earnest introspection, assessment, strategic planning, and follow-through, my client experienced nothing short of extraordinary transformation professionally and personally... Today, just several years later, she is a successful entrepreneur with visions of owning yet another business and achieving success in yet another industry. For years now, she has been making her own schedule everyday and is the author of her own choices at every turn. She is a leader to her employees, her customers, and her community. What's more, her success has been a reward to me several times over as well.
Year after year since she has grown her business and discovered greater satisfaction in her personal empowerment and professional success, she has been a champion of my coaching services. She has referred many clients to me. Whenever she is asked about her success, I am honored by the fact that she always mentions our work together as a turning-point and critical resource for her professional, entrepreneurial, and personal development. When she was honored in an industry periodical for being a breakthrough leader and success story in her marketplace, again she took the time to mention me and to honor our coach-client collaboration.
I share this story not to sing my own praises or even to tout the value of achievement coaching services, but to share my appreciation for this client's courage to want more from life and work, to reach for it, and to live and work by a code of ethics in her achievement of her goals. Foremost, I want to emphasize here that I acknowledge that it was not merely the collaborative power of coaching or the service I provided to my client that made the most difference, but it was that together we have achieved trust, respect, and authenticity with each other when we work together. No amount of tactical insights or strategic development can have the impact for a client that can be achieved like a relationship of productivity grounded in authentic human-to-human synergy.
Want more clients? Want more referrals from your existing clients? Want more of your clients to be champions for you? First, be open, honest, ethical, and real with your clients. Next, be foremost dedicated to your client's achievement. Next, be committed to ethics, best practices, and being excellent; and hold up excellence as the benchmark for your client's endeavors. Lastly, and certainly not least, again be open, honest, ethical, and real with your clients.
The truth is that I could elaborate on what I mean by being "open" and "honest" and "ethical" and "real" with your clients. But I will save each of those articles for another day. I will simply leave you with a call to action here now: Please take five minutes today, tomorrow, and the next, and ask yourself what being "open" and "honest" and "ethical" and "real" with your clients means to you. Then, choose to live it, and open yourself to the extraordinary results for your personal empowerment and professional achievement.
