Get BETTER Clients!




  "Everything that can be counted doesn't necessarily count;

Have you ever noticed that some people make you feel good just to be around them? These are the people who give you energy when they are near you. These special people seem to unlock your creativity and stimulate your thinking. Wow!

On the other hand, there are probably others you can think of who just drain all the life out of you. Which would YOU rather have as clients?

I don't mean to sound rude, but most businesses take on any client who steps up with the money. Don't get me wrong; we all know that a paying client is indeed very valuable. My point is that you consider the cost to you for dealing with the people you serve. Just for discussion purposes, let's explore the impact that our clients have on us.

Meet Gusto.

The first type of client mentioned above (let's name this person Gusto) is the type who is fun and interesting. When you interact with Gusto, you come away feeling energized. This person will likely be the type who gives you honest, constructive feedback about your products and services. Gusto will often even help you improve your offering. This type of client is instrumental in growing your business through their referrals.
