Do You Over Promise and Under Deliver
A new client recently admitted to me sheepishly that she often didn’t get to complete a client’s work until the client called to see if it was ready. I admired her honesty if not her time management skills.

The Insider Secrets to Not Losing Your Shirt on your Client’s Next Project
My client Anna called me last week, completely frustrated, about an unfolding nightmare with her new client. Anna had recently accepted a new client who had an exciting project.

How To Handle Customer Billing Snafus
Seriously, whether the client owes you the money or not is a moot point. Yes, you made an accounting mistake, but if the client agreed to pay you a certain amount each month in exchange for certain services rendered, and you have been under-billing that client for delivering those certain services, the client owes you the money, period.
Gain a client. Keep a client.
I'm sure you've heard the aphorism that "it takes six times the investment to gain a new client than it does to sell to an existing one". In general, that's true. But what's not said is, how you go about keeping those clients in order to sell more to them?

Buying an Investment Franchise Business Opportunity
An investment franchise is one that normally calls for a solid amount of investment that may involve a while to realize a benefit.

How do I distinguish between a genuine buyer and a saboteur?
Everything lines up: your solution is a very good match for the client company, you have ticked all the boxes but the deal is rejected. You are perplexed and confused. “It’s a great solution! It’s what they wanted and needed. Why are they saying no?” Building on from last week’s ‘How do I deal with client objections?’ l thought we should look at when objections become personal. Over the years I have come to realise that many of us have lost sales not because we didn’t have a good offering or we couldn’t show a real return on investment, rather a key person(s) involved in the sales process or outcome didn’t want the sale to go ahead due to personal reasons or biases.
