The Importance of Targeting a Specific Audience
When starting a podcast, it's crucial to be intentional about the audience you want to connect with. By narrowing down your focus and addressing the pain points and interests of a specific group, you can attract the right listeners and potentially convert them into clients.
Transitioning to a Specialized Podcast
The speaker shares their experience of transitioning from a broad podcast about all things to more focused content. By changing the target audience to retirees and discussing specific retirement topics, they found that their clients and referrals aligned better with their expertise.
Attracting Validators through Collaboration
The speaker reveals that their marketing strategy involves collaborating with potential clients to build a trusting relationship. They engage in conversations, answer questions, and provide insights to help potential clients see the value in their expertise.
Demonstrating Value to Validators
To convert validators into delegators, the speaker emphasizes the importance of demonstrating value before clients commit to a full service offering. By providing case studies, technical information, and personalized assessments, they aim to show the benefits of working with them.
The Journey from Validator to Delegator
The speaker highlights that some validators may initially resist delegating decision-making and control. However, by building trust, alleviating financial trauma, offering solutions, and giving clients time to ponder, they have successfully converted validators into delegators in the past.
It isn’t earth-shattering news that the purpose of marketing is to attract an audience. But by casting a wide net, it is easy to forget that the goal is to attract the best clients, not just anyone who will pay attention. On this Elementality, Reese and Emlen Miles-Mattingly of Gen Next Wealth talk about how to make sure you are attracting the clients you want.
