Maximize Profits By Creating Your “top List”

By now you’ve successfully attracted new clients, retained old clients, and are expanding on existing relationships in your business. As a business leader, you need to implement a strategy to escalate your success and stay ahead of your competitors throughout the year. A simple way to proactively develop your business is to create a list of your top ideas or strategies for growth. Making such a list helps you organize your priorities and recognize your assets for a clear plan of attack. The list is created by analyzing previous strategies, improving existing relationships, and recruiting the right people for input.

What You Know
The easiest items to detail on your list are strategies that worked last year. Document what you did, how you did it, and how well it worked. If you know the specific person or department who formulated the plan, note that as well. Analyze your strengths so that you may not only execute these strategies again, but also build on them to reach more potential business. Devise a plan and timeline to implement these systems again.


Impress Your Existing Clientele
Your reputation as a business does not lie solely in your product. Offering quality and value in your product is imperative, but how you deal with your clients is just as important. People innately want to be appreciated. Showing clients that you value them is as simple as saying thank you. Here are a few ways to do so:

• Always thank those who send you referrals. Sending a formal thank-you is appropriate, and returning the favor is even better.


• Thank those customers who renewed their contracts with you. They are less likely to take their business elsewhere if they know you value them.


• Go the extra mile with companies of large accounts who previously contracted with a competitor. Send a gift basket or something specifically appropriate for their business to thank them for making the change.


• Send thank-you cards to prospects with whom you’ve met. This keeps your name fresh in their mind and demonstrates the kind of attention they can expect from you.


• Be consistent with these approaches. Satisfied clients will attest to your benevolence, which shapes your reputation.
