When you first start your business, until you have your investors and clients lined up, it can be tempting to work with anyone who is willing to give you money, whether it be an investor, client - if that person has a pulse and they say YES, you’re in!
But that may backfire on you if they aren’t the exact type of person you can serve best.
Let me give you a personal example: I coach accountants in specifically creating a sales system that also feels good. The type of person that I can best serve is someone with high-level services, looking to start charging more and working less by having a system to produce these results.
The system that I teach requires a significant time investment: I give quite a bit of homework. After all, they’ll have to take action to see and get the results!
When I’m on a call to see if a client will be a good fit, I have some questions that I ask. One of them is, “Are you willing to invest 4 hours per week in this program to help fix [whatever problems they share with me]?”
Their answer to this question tells me if they’re going to be a good fit to work with me or not. If they truly only have an hour a week to invest, I know that they won’t be a good fit! They won’t be able to see results.
NO matter how much money a potential investor or client has, if they don’t fit your parameters, it’s in your best interest to say NO! That’s why it is so important to vet potential clients and investors. It may seem weird to say NO to people who want to work with you. You will be able to work at a higher level with your ideal clientele when you say NO to people who are not your ideal client.
This week’s guest on Success Unfiltered Podcast, Hunter Thompson, is a real estate investor. He’s raised millions of dollars, and refined exactly how to vet the perfect, long-term investors for his business.
