I have been struggleing to get clients to come to me. I have moved around abit that is the way it was. The way it is now is that I have a beautiful location for new clients to see me on the financial side. what should I do? Anyone who has a system that has allowed them to see more people because they come to you please respond.

Try newspaper ads, giveaways, maybe even a radio ad.

Also try putting up stick signs in front of your business, also balloons will draw peoples attention. Your main goal is most like trying to get them notice you are there. They won't come instantly but when they need your service they will hopefully remember.

It's been my experience that clients don't just come to you. A good deal of your time at first should be spent prospecting by phone and by foot. Get a few appointments and give such excellent service that you can ask for referrals. Don't think that waiting for business to come to you will make you any money.

You have to do something that will set you apart from everyone else out there. Check out the book Values Based Financial Planning for some great ideas on how to be seen as a trusted advisor and not a suspect salesman.
