Always Give Your Clients What They Want, Not What You Want!

Wake Up To An Overflowing River - Of cash flow  and profits beyond anything you have seen in the past or continue sleeping on the hard mattress of regret under the cold blanket of lost opportunity by refusing to change old tired worn-out wealth limiting habits that are keeping you from your best.

Right Or Rich - Everybody picks one or the other to a degree because nobody can do both for very long. Pick one on purpose or the other by default. The more important it is to be right the less you will be rich and the reverse is true.

Having Asked Questions - Of homeowners, commercial property owners, landlords, commercial space tenants and even a few car buyers, computer buyers, ship buyers and consumers about their overall buying experience for over 30 years has been and continues to be profitable.

Fast Easy Accounting Bookkeeping Services Asks Questions And Listens To You!My Script Book - Has a list of questions that are continually honed, polished, updated and replaced from which I pick and choose the ones to use depending on the situation.

Develop Your Own Script Book - And record the questions and answers that you find encourage people to open up and get to the fourth level of truth because when you do the service you will render will be far in excess of the money you earn.

Questions For - Social gatherings are more casual, business meetings are more focused, network events somewhere in the middle, focus group events very intense and tightly focused.

The Two Most Powerful Questions:

  1. What were your most important criteria in making the purchase decision?

  2. What is the one thing you remembered about your purchase?

Question #1 Most Common Answer - "Price" because for most people it is a conditioned response they learned early in life. It is similar to ringing a bell; it gets people's attention; Stimulus & Response. If you ever get mugged, and I hope you never do; yell "FIRE" because everybody wants to see a fire but very few people will respond to a cry for "HELP".

Question #2 Most Common Answer - "I could or could not get what I wanted!" There is a lot of money making power in this answer and it does not come fast or easy. In fact in most cases it takes a while to get to it...because:

Truth Is Four Levels Deep:

  1. What people want to hear

  2. What people want to believe

  3. Everything else out in the world

  4. The Truth of what they really believe

Construction Business Owners - With annual sales volume of less than $5,000,000 if you want to double, triple and quadruple your cash flow and net profit pay attention to this one thing:

Give Your Customer Or Client What They Want Not What You Think Is Best!

Fast Easy Accounting For Construction Success Listen Observe QuestionIf I Had A Dime - For every time a contractor ignored what their customer or client was asking for because they were thinking of what they were going to say, which related to what they thought was best for their customer or client I would buy a brand new sports car to take my girlfriend, wife, sweetheart, Sharie on another sightseeing road trip across America.

Listening - With empathy and understanding is one of the most valuable gifts one person can give to another person is to listen and let someone speak until they are finished. Great speakers who make deep noises from the chest sound like important messages from the brain have a captive audience and it is 180 degrees opposite of truly listening.

Questioning - When your construction customer or client makes a point about something that could be important wait until an appropriate break in the conversation and ask for clarification. For example the new deck needs to be really strong...could be an important point...perhaps they entertain a lot of sumo wrestlers or professional football stars...show you care by asking. The preceding examples could save you a lot of money by not under-building something and in fact could make you a lot of money with add on sales.

Observing - Detectives make a lot of money and the best ones have a keen eye for observation. Much can be said about this and I recommend you read the book "The Millionaire Next Door" by Thomas J. Stanley and William D. Danko available at Amazon.com and other bookstores.

We Had Several Clients - In all of our construction businesses we had a lot of repeat and referral clients. One in particular lived in the Magnolia neighborhood of Seattle. A sweet little old lady on a "Fixed Income" that we did a substantial amount of work on her house.

Every Time, Like Clockwork - When I would quote price for a new project she would almost tear up talking about how she may have to do without something special in order to have the work done. I would ask how ever she could live on a mere $8,000,000 a year. Her response as always, "It is not easy but thank goodness the house and car is paid for and I have no other debts."

We Did A Lot Of work - For her and her friends and neighbors in the area and they were all raving fans! Why? Because of Listening, Questioning and Observing and always, always, always giving a little more in value than we took in dollars. The key is always give a fair price that insures your company will earn a handsome profit and hire professionals to do excellent work.
