How to Acquire New Business
Introduction
Growing and maintaining profitability in your business requires a consistent focus on development. Even with a balanced mix of clients, work, and employees, seeking new opportunities is essential. Establishing a structured process can help you pursue new business effectively, without neglecting existing customers.
Steps to Acquire New Business
1. Generate Leads
Identify the types of companies you want to target and set realistic goals. For example, an accountant experienced in marketing might aim to connect with five marketing consultancies each month. Discover potential clients through networking events, industry publications, news about new projects, and seminars. Stay informed about industry trends and developments.
Maintain a database (like Excel or Access) to track the companies you approach, including contact details, discussions, potential projects, and next steps.
2. Qualify the Leads
Review your list of potential companies to ensure they are viable opportunities. Consider the following:
- Do you have the right contacts to engage with them?
- Are your services relevant to their needs?
- Can you gather insights from their website?
- Are there any conflicts of interest?
- Does the client have long-term growth potential?
- Who are the decision-makers, and how can you reach them?
3. Raise Your Business Profile
Enhance your company's visibility to attract new business more easily. Position yourself as an industry leader by sponsoring events, advertising, or securing media coverage. Choose the best methods based on your business's size, location, and target market.
4. Showcase Your Expertise
Engage with qualified opportunities by highlighting your company's strengths. Send brochures, newsletters, and examples of your work. Use template letters for potential clients, linked to your database, to ensure efficiency and accuracy.
Remember that building relationships takes time, often requiring patience before seeing results.
5. Schedule a Meeting
Once you've made contact, it's time to sell your services. Tailor the meeting to fit your business style, whether through a formal presentation or casual discussion. Be well-prepared and convey the knowledge gained in previous steps.
6. Follow Up
After presenting your ideas, follow up diligently. It's crucial and should be as prioritized as other steps. Build on meeting insights, or share relevant articles and statistics to keep the conversation going. Even a simple thank you for the opportunity can make a difference.
