What if there was someone who had a list of your perfect clients and was willing to help you grow your business?  The good news is that for most businesses this is very possible. You may not know how to go about it but it is really quite simple. It is about reaching out and building a win win relationship so that both businesses are benefiting from the relationship.

One of my clients used this strategy successfully by working with a used car dealer ( the nicest one in town) to give away coupons to his garage.  This was a win win because the car dealer had a compelling free gift to give to his new customers that differentiated him from his competitors and my client had a steady stream of new clients.

Today’s Trick: Create a list of people who have complimentary businesses to yours, these are businesses who have your perfect clients but are not direct competitors.  Then call them to set up a time to talk about how you can help each other.  Some ideas are sending a mailing or email promotion for each other, holding an event together and inviting all of your clients, or a simple referral relationship.
