Other Added - You Have to TOUCH Your Clients More Often (to be More Client Attractive)
The Lines Are Drawn: ROI vs. ROO uy from those they don’t like, and they CERTAINLY don’t buy from those they don’t trust.Todays’ discussion about the value of meetings and conferences moves to a new plane. Instead of focusing only on the Return on Investment (ROI), Executives are beginning to focus on Return on Objective (ROO). Our opinion… measuring the true value of meetings and conferences often requires that you use a combination of both.ROI typically expresses the worth of a meeting or conferences in monetary terms – the number of dollars gained or lost as a result of the mee OK, how can you do this without going absolutely bonkers? It’s all about SYSTEMS, my friend, as always. Example: One e-zine per week (like this one). One mailing per month (your Virtual Assistant can stuff the envelopes and take care of the printing and postage). A few personal notes, handwritten. A Hallmark e-card. Etc. YOUR ASSIGNMENT: Start thinking about ways to be on your clients’ and prospects’ radio screens over and over again, by bringing high value and high content, or just by touching base to say hi. Create a system for everything. Not The question? How often do I need to reach out to my prospective clients and clients? The answer? A minimum of 25 times a year, preferably 52 or more times a year. Silence. Jaws slowly creak open and begin to drop. You could hear a pin fall. 52 or more times a year??? I’m not kidding.

Read on… The reason people go into semi-shock is they start to realize their boring cookie-cutter quarterly mailing isn’t cuttin’ it. It gets even worse when I’ve got someone in the front row who’s super-proud of their monthly e-zine, thinking they’re doing “what it takes to get clients” and yet they’re wondering why the pipeline of prospects is not full enough, and their bank account leaves a little to be desired. It’s because they’re not “touching” their prospects (and clients) enough. Well, one of my clients, Jill Foster of www.TheMortgageArrangers.com, came up with a brilliant campaign during our coaching to change that. She got her hands on the list of Obscure Holidays (National Punctuation Day, National Poetry Day, National Wear Red Day For Women, etc.) and sends a postcard to her prospects, clients and joint venture partners each month (in addition to all the other ways she reaches her list). In each postcard mailing, she somehow finds a way to tie it in to the mortgage services she offers, while adding high content and high value. It’s funny, irreverent and gives her another excuse to be in TOUCH with her list.
