Does This Sound Like Your Holistic Health Practice??
The following is an excerpt from the best marketing book I've ever read: Attracting Perfect Customers - The Power of Strategic Synchronicity by Stacey Hall and Jan Brogniez (Berrett-Koehler, 2001).
"It takes a lot of
energy to look for people to serve. More than likely you have had the
experience of trying to figure out how you could find the greatest
number of customers. You spent much time and money experimenting,
looking for the right way to catch their attention. Once you caught
their attention, you had to convince them that you are the one who has
what they want. By the time you actually found someone willing to try
what you offer, you were exhausted!
"This is the typical end result when you buy into the adversarial
marketing school of thought that preaches a gospel of 'stealing market
share' and 'eliminating the competition.'
"These 'stealth' strategies virtually guarantee that if you do win the
battle, you will end up with customers who will be impossible to
satisfy because they are not a perfect fit for your company.
"The lesson to be learned from this type of experience is to listen for
and trust your inner voice when you encounter a less-than-perfect
customer. It's warning you that your own distinctive light has gone out
or that perhaps you forgot that lighthouses do not wade out into the
water looking for boats to serve. Your responsibility is to stand still
and keep shining your own distinctive light, to keep polishing the lens
to ensure that your light has the power and brilliance to break through
the darkness and attract the attention of only perfect
customers."
