Have you ever looked in the mirror and thought to yourself: Why am I not farther ahead by nowâŚ.Why don't I have more students?, Why am I not making more money and why am I struggling by following my passion?Â
If you've had those thoughts, you're not alone.Â
I have the answers that you need⌠but they're probably a little different than you might think.

WANTED: Business & Systems Training for The 21st Century.

BUSINESS SUCCESS MINDSET
When you really think about it- We all want to get treated like a VIP. to feel personally connected and empowered by the buying experience or to have  proximity to the leader or head of the company or even to get that special offer, deal or discount. đ
As a business owner it should be priority #1 to start building a relationship with your potential clients, your audience, your current members, or your students, and find out ways you can continue to make them feel special. đ Before you offer them anything else-Â
How?Â
Ask them: what they want, what they need, What they are looking for and even more important BE HONEST with them and yourself.... Can you really help them or are you just trying to make a buck? đ° There are a variety of survey tools and apps out there that can help you facilitate the answers you need, but in my experience the easiest and most reliable way is to ask in person and in confidence not in front of a group or in a crowded lobby.

Communication is an essential part of any relationshipâeven with your customers! As a business you may view your relationship with your customers similar to that of a personal relationshipâone that needs to be cultivated, respected, and, of course, mutually rewarding. Without these qualities a customer may become dissatisfied and look for alternative places to do business, namely your competitors. However, with proper care and nurturing, you can build a relationship with your customers that will last a lifetime and may even turn them into ambassadors of your brand.
Here are five ways you can nurture a relationship with customers and hopefully keep them coming back:
1. Be personal
Personalization, while not a new trend, is definitely a good marketing habit that will help nurture a relationship with your customers. Being personal shows that you care about your customerâs preferences. For example, if youâre a local store and you send an email blast with a subject line regarding
...Early in my training, I was at an event listening to a speaker talk about why our industry was stuck and what we needed to do to break out of the norm. The talk had the idea of how the people around you will affect you.
It reminded me of the story  of the crabs.
You see, crabs in an open bucket will stay in their bucket. If one crab tries to climb out, the other crabs pull him back down. If he continues to try to climb out, the other crabs may pull off one of his legs to keep him in the bucket.
Why wouldnât the other crabs watch how the crab gets out, so they know it can be done and so they know how to get out, too?Â
Instead the crabs in the bucket are more interested in keeping everyone else in the bucket.
The crab story reflects human nature. Other people â family, friends, co-workers â industry "experts" will try to drag someone thatâs succeeding down to their level.Â
When one tries to do something different, get better skills, improve broken business models, based on old out...
In business you need commitment, consistency and a plan.Â
This is especially true when it comes to marketing your business
Important fact: No matter who is doing your marketing, you still need to show up and participate in some form. You need to learn the platforms and make decisions and you need to execute the plans to their fullest. â and if you still don't know how in 2019 then you must start by going to the worlds greatest website: www.google.com and type in: HOW DO I......... (insert the platform you need to learn)
Seriously, you can't do anything else until YOU learn... then after you grasp the concepts  you need to empower others to do so.Â
Often I see school owners, managers and trainers being their own worst enemy by taking no responsibility for their own participation in the process. It's almost like they are constantly asking people to solve problems that they are not willing to participate in solving also.Â
In this business of ours I see three common problems and they ...
Two of the most popular questions we get asked are: "How do I get social proof and how do I use it in my business?"Â
The power of social proof is undeniable.
Every successful business, that plans on being around for another 5-50 years is already harnessing both video, audio and written word posts to help them get new customers and retain their current ones. Â
And if you're not still sold on the power of social proof and how it impacts your business, according to Entrepreneur magazine:
55% of customers check reviews before they call your business.
80% of customers check your reviews before they even visit the building that your business is in.Â
The final stat is shocking: 97% of customers will ask family or friends before they buy. (this applies to any purchase over $100.)
But what are the best ways to get reviews, social proof and testimonials  for our business?
The answer might surprise you because of the fact that it is so amazingly simple.

Here it is the answer to why making a choice and taking chances are so important in building your business.
 To get better results, you simply cannot do what you've always done or you'll get what you've always got.
These days everyone is talking about getting leads and new prospects, but few people are talking about what you should be doing to make sure you KEEP the students that you do get.
(BTW It costs 7x more to get a new student, than it does to retain a current one) <ââ
But...... here's another secret.... a lot of times we donât need fancy new things to get our students to stay.
All it takes is getting better at the basics.
Results for your business are what matter most. Not theory or ideas. You want practical and tactical strategies that are simple and efficient and are already being used by the most successful business owners.
