These are real steps that have worked for me when I needed bookings on a short notice. As a reminder: You should have a marketing, promotion, and sales plan you can follow consistently so that you don\u2019t get into situations where you need money on short notice. But if that time comes, follow these four steps!<\/p>\n<h2>FOUR ACTIONS TO TAKE WHEN YOU NEED CLIENTS NOW<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3792\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3792\" style=\"width: 1400px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-3792\" src=\"https:\/\/hbbadmin.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2016-03-01_0001.jpg\" alt=\"4 Steps to Take When You Need Clients Now | via the Rising Tide Society\" width=\"1400\" height=\"934\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2016-03-01_0001.jpg 1400w, https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2016-03-01_0001-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2016-03-01_0001-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/hbb.dev.reliablepenguin.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/03\/2016-03-01_0001-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1400px) 100vw, 1400px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3792\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Photo by Jenn Kavanagh<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2><strong>Action Step 1: Contact Past Clients<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>It\u2019s a lot easier to make a repeat sale from clients who already know and love you than it is to get a brand new sale from someone who may have just seen you online.&nbsp; Also there is a good chance that past clients would love to work with you again and either don\u2019t know how else you can help them, or simply have not made the time to contact you.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">So that means you need to do two things:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><em>1. Figure out how you can work with past clients again<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Depending on the kind of business you have this will look different for everyone.&nbsp; If you are a wedding photographer, you can contact past clients to take their anniversary photos now.&nbsp; If you are a graphic designer, you can contact past clients to see if they have any new courses, campaigns, or events coming up that they need new or modified graphics for.&nbsp; The main idea here is to think of what they need now.&nbsp; After working with you once, what is the next step that they now need?<\/p>\n<p><em>2. Email them to set it up<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Once you have thought of a way to work with them again it is time to email them about it!&nbsp; This might not be the way they end up working with you, but you need to have an idea to pitch to them to start the conversation.&nbsp; The email should not be pushy, but should be clear! Check in with them to see how they have been doing, and ask if you can help them again with the new idea you have!<\/p>\n<p>Once you have thought of a way to work with them again it is time to email them about it!&nbsp; This might not be the way they end up working with you, but you need to have an idea to pitch to them to start the conversation.&nbsp; The email should not be pushy, but should be clear! Check in with them to see how they have been doing, and ask if you can help them again with the new idea you have!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Action Step 2: Ask For Introductions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>In other words, ask for a referral.&nbsp; But I was very particular and specific when I used the word \u201cintroduction\u201d.&nbsp; I learned the difference between the two words from my friend Breanne of My Name is Breanne Consulting.&nbsp; She taught me that using the word introduction instead of referral is a lot less intimidating for both parties!&nbsp; So once again reach out to past clients.&nbsp; Maybe the clients you reached out to in step one were not able to work with you.&nbsp; If that is the case, then ask them if they can introduce you to someone who they know would love to work with you!<\/p>\n<p>This simple action leaves both sides feeling pressure free.&nbsp; Your client will be happy to introduce you to more people you can help, and those people will be happy to know you can solve their problem!&nbsp; To be clear once the introduction is made, learn more about the person and their problem\/needs, then tell them how you can help them (aka make the sale)!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Action Step 3: Run A Promotion (That\u2019s not a sale)<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>I\u2019m not a big fan of sales because as a service provider myself I know they can really damage your authority, and perceived value for charging the way you do. But as someone who spent a few of my college years working in retail, I know that for certain industries sales are a great strategy.&nbsp; So I can\u2019t completely knock them, but I won\u2019t be talking about them as a step to take today.<\/p>\n<p>Instead I\u2019d like you to think about a promotion.&nbsp; Instead of saying you are offering a \u201cdiscount\u201d pitch it as a limited time promotion where clients can get more than usual.&nbsp; So that could mean combining &nbsp;two of your services or adding something on.&nbsp; If you are a photographer that could look like adding a canvas print to anyone that books a shoot during this time.&nbsp; If you are a graphic designer that could mean combining your logo and social media packages together.&nbsp; Again you do not want to say that this is a sale or that you are offering a discount because that could be detrimental to your prices in the future.&nbsp; But make it more valuable and interesting for them to BUY NOW!<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Action Step 4: Let People Know You Are Booking<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Now this may seem really obvious right? Well, as a Business Strategist I can tell you that when I ask my clients how often they tell people they can buy things from them, the answer is usually less than 10 times a year!&nbsp; Now think about that for a second.&nbsp; There are 365 days in a year (366 on occasion ;)) &nbsp;In those 365 days you are probably on social media everyday, blogging 1-2 times a week, and sending out emails a few times a month.&nbsp; That is 365 days of constant interaction with your audience, and out of 365 you only tell them they can work with you 10 TIMES! AH! That\u2019s crazy!<\/p>\n<p><em>We need to remember a few principles here.<\/em> &nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Your business is your livelihood. You have a business to serve others with your gifts, and to support you to live a life you love.&nbsp; You owe it to yourself, to your business, and to the people who NEED you, to let everyone know when + how you can help them!<\/p>\n<p>People are busy. They have a life, have a million things going on and forget things.&nbsp; They even forget things they really want! So you need to remind them! You need to tell people you are booking new clients. Tell them how many spaces you have open! They will not get annoyed. They chose to follow you because they love what you do and want updates. So give them updates, and let them know how they can work with you!<\/p>\n<p>At the very least you should be letting people know they can work with you + how 2 times a month.&nbsp; That is still only 6% of the year.&nbsp; Which is so small, that trust me your audience will not get upset or annoyed, and if they do then they were never going to work with you anyway, so don\u2019t worry about it!<\/p>\n<p>Now, it\u2019s time to get to work! If you need a boost in sales this month, take action.&nbsp; First contact your past clients, then ask past clients for an introduction to others who need your work, then run a promotion (that\u2019s not a sale\/discount), and finally let people know you are open for booking!&nbsp; These steps have worked for me, so I hope they do the same for you.&nbsp; In the comments below let me know which step you are going to take action on when you need clients now!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>You have bills that need to be paid next week, or there\u2019s a conference coming up that you know you have to be at, or maybe your mom\u2019s birthday is next month so you need some extra cash.
