If you get your marketing right, you can essentially have your pick of the best clients from the load of leads that come in. That means the most interesting projects combined with those who are willing to pay you what you’re worth.
To get there, that means:
- Knowing exactly the type of people you’re trying to attract;
- Delivering exactly the right content they need to choose you; and
- Understanding the voice and point of view they will respond best to.
The biggest chunk of those three elements will come from your research and hands-on experience with your best clients. But to truly get your messaging directly on target, it comes down to one key discipline — testing.
