Have you ever had a conversation with a potential client that made you think, hmmm, are they interested in being my client, yet didn’t act on it? If so, you probably missed the signal they were giving you. Listen as Nikki details the top five missed signals and see if it doesn’t make you want to revisit past conversations with clients you didn’t pursue.
Nikki believes everyone needs to be turned on and tuned in to buying signals because they are everywhere. Nikki had done this training for years, and every time someone tells her they had no idea. If your business is suffering because you can’t seem to get potential clients to ask for your services, maybe it’s time you started issuing invitations.
