Be One with the Big Fish

Posted by vernonsimpson on November 19, 2012

In the last post we started our series on catching big clients, or “fish”, that will sustain your business over the long run. Today we’re going to take that a step further by talking about how to understand and think like a big fish company and how that can help you plan your approach and find success.

Before you can start the process of landing big clients, you have to make sure your entire team is onboard with your approach and vision. There are six keys to finding big client success. They are:

  1. First Impression: You must remember you have one shot to land a big client. If you make a mistake, they aren’t going to consider you again. Never give them a reason to doubt your abilities.
  2. First Priority: Your fish must always feel like they are your first priority. Returns calls and emails immediately and find solutions to their problems or questions as quickly as possible.
  3. Flexible: You need to be flexible in your negotiations. If they need a special service or for you to customize a product, say yes for the benefit of the long term. A little hassle now will be a big pay off later.
  4. Long-term: This goes along with the last one a bit. As you are approaching and negotiating with big fish you need to think about the long term benefits for your business. If you go for a ones-time big score you will lose their interest.
  5. Have Fun: Work should be fun, even when trying to land big clients. In fact, this should be the most fun. You are sharing your vision with new people and including them in your future success and likewise. People simply work better in a fun, happy environment. Your passion will also be contagious and pull the fish into your vision even more.
  6. Help Them: If you take just a little bit of time and offer your clients ways to save money or time by introducing them to potential business partners, this will show you really are invested and interested in their business. Strive to find balance between your business needs and your client’s needs.

There are also a few tactics you can use to bring in a big-company vision to the people on your team. You can:

  • Post these six keys for all to see.
  • Put together a performance based incentive program.
  • Conduct frequent team meetings.
  • Use a “right now” policy that dictates big fish calls be answered immediately.
  • Offer awards/recognition for big-company ideas and executions.
  • Put together a training and certification program based on the six keys above.

 

These 6 keys and tips will help you instill a big-company mindset through your company which will help you be more prepared and more likely to land your big fish. Once your team is thinking this way, you’ll be unstoppable.

If you need help putting together an incentive program or other way to push your team toward the big-company mindset, try our FREE test drive to work with one of our coaches or check out our resources and tools.

Until the next time.

    Tiny shards of plastic are increasingly infiltrating our brains study says ???????? ???? ???????? Human brain samples collected at autopsy in early 2024 contained more tiny shards of plastic than samples collected eight years prior according to a preprint posted online in May. A preprint is a study which has not yet been peer-reviewed and published in a journal. “The concentrations we saw in the brain tissue of normal individuals who had an average age of around 45 or 50 years old were 4800 micrograms per gram or 0.5 by weight” said lead study author Matthew Campen a regents’ professor of pharmaceutical sciences at the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque. “Compared to autopsy brain samples from 2016 that’s about 50 higher” Campen said. “That would mean that our brains today are 99.5 brain and the rest is plastic.” That increase however only shows exposure and does not provide information about brain damage said Phoebe Stapleton an associate professor of pharmacology and toxicology at Rutgers University in Piscataway New Jersey who was not involved in the preprint. “It is unclear if in life these particles are fluid entering and leaving the brain or if they collect in neurological tissues and promote disease” she said in an email. “Further research is needed to understand how the particles may be interacting with the cells and if this has a toxicological consequence.” The brain samples contained 7 to 30 more tiny shards of plastic than samples from the cadavers’ kidneys and liver according to the preprint. “Studies have found these plastics in the human heart the great blood vessels the lungs the liver the testes the gastrointestinal tract and the placenta” said pediatrician and biology professor Dr. Philip Landrigan director of the Program for Global Public Health and the Common Good and the Global Observatory on Planetary Health at Boston College. “It’s important not to scare the hell out of people because the science in this space is still evolving and nobody in the year 2024 is going to live without plastic” said Landrigan who was not involved with the preprint.
