This month, April, I decided to set a goal of 16 new clients at $650 each. I am happy to say that, as of today, April 10, I am half way there.
What I have discovered is that with this goal I have been more careful about returning calls and about sticking to my phone script better and I've been remembering more often to ask for referrals. It's been a fun challenge to really look at ways I could get just one more client.
I also am looking at my phone to see who called and didn't leave a message and I now call those numbers back.
AND....I am more motivated to write letters to the doctor's who referred clients to me telling them of thier patients success and what I work on. THAT is my next project.
Just thought I'd share since so many of us are having a lull in business which we have been blaming on the economy. Of course, I also believe setting the intention is a wonderful help too.
That's awesome... I've found the same thing, that setting specific goals and targets is a great antidote for the slacker in all of us. I put my monthly goals on index cards and a bulletin board next to the door to my office, so I cannot escape or avoid them.
Here's an interesting thing: on the occasions where I have missed a target, instead of then lowering expectations and goals, I actually raise them slightly. Since I have been doing this regularly I have been hitting targets that I wouldn't have imagined possible just a short while ago. It is pretty strange!
