We’re presenting the results of our social business supporters’ survey over dinner and discussion in London on 26 September. Get your invitation here.
Following up on our recent post about our survey to business supporters, here is what the survey taught us: you have very keen followers, champions and amplifiers but only a small
percentage converts into paying clients.
You love your audience,
they love you too, but you can’t pay the rent!
This is no bad route to
market but some are shorter than others. So to overturn this basic law of
physics and cash-flow, here are a few questions to ask yourself:
Close to this worry, some respondents asked “how to convincingly convey the business value of our services, even though our audience is not technical”.
I am going to continue using the language of love. Imagine you are about to meet your future life partner for a first date… if you come across
too confused, full of complexities, no drive, if you are not listening and and convey unclear intentions, you risk to chase away your partner…
So can you communicate simply and clearly, what your business support service is all about, why your audience should do more than just love you but also test and buy your service?
Look at Simon Sinek’s TedX speech on how great leaders inspire action… They focus on the why, not on the what.
So what does it make you say about your business?
