I’ll illustrate by telling you another true story…
I’m a pretty capable web designer and solid when it comes to getting a client setup online.
Back in his early days…I was talking with a potential client. The prospect was an optometrist who needed a new website.
I was more than qualified.
I showed the doctor samples. I knew what the doctor needed. And he thought the appointment was going well.
That is… until the prospect threw me a curve ball.
The doctor asked for a sample of a website I’d done for another
optometrist. To, that shouldn’t have mattered.
A website… is a website… is a website!
Right?
Wrong! As far as the doctor was concerned… since I had never built a site for an optometrist before… then… I wasn’t the best designer for the job.
Fair or unfair, I left without a client.
I was really upset at first.
Then I started to think about the situation.
What became obvious to me was this: Local companies want Internet marketing services customized for their business. It’s simply better to be a big fish in a small pond… than… a small fish in a big ocean.
Not only is it easier to attract the best clients… but… it’s far easier to sell a solution that (if nothing else) “seems” tailor-made for them.
If you are ready to take your agency to the next level… then I would suggest your first step is to get the other 9 Immutable Laws of agency success right here:
