Every home business needs new clients to survive. It doesn’t matter how you earn your money either. You could be a photographer; you could write for a living or turn your hand to web design. But in every case the more clients that you have, the more secure your business will be.
When you first start your home-based business your main goal will be to find and nurture some clients as quickly as possible. But over time you should always maintain those efforts and keep on bringing in new customers. And this is precisely where some home workers go wrong.
The problem o
ccurs when you settle for a comfortable number of clients, or you have just two or three that give you lots of work and make life seem easy for you. Its great all the time that you have those clients, but when you lose one you can really notice the difference. This is why you need the drive to secure as many clients as possible.
No matter how good your customers are you will always lose one or two of them eventually. Not all clients are the same and while some may stay with you long term, others will only want the odd job done every now and again. So we can see that having lots of clients’ means your income is much safer. But there are other benefits to be had here too.
If you have a home business it is important to make sure you are visible so that new clients can find you. One of the best ways to do this is to create your own website. If a client gives you some good feedback or has nice things to say about you or the job you have just completed, ask if you can use their positive comments on your site. Testimonials can help you to add strength to your offering, because other local people are saying what they think of you and your work. This can be very convincing for people who are at the stage of considering hiring you.
The more clients that you have the more potential there is to get sound testimonials for your site. Ask them whether it would be possible to post their comments and in return, provide a link to their own site in exchange for the favour. Keep the original testimonial too because you may be required to provide it if anyone asks. You need to be able to prove they are genuine.
You will also learn more from having lots of clients. You will learn to juggle and manage your workload more efficiently. You will also learn how to work with lots of different people. Everyone has their own ways of working and if you are only used to working with two or three clients you will only have limited knowledge as a result.
So you can see that looking for new clients pays dividends in many different ways. Use this knowledge to help enhance and develop your business and you will be glad that you did. The future will be much brighter the more clients that you have.
