Thanks for your comment, Margo. I love how you mentioned referring prospects to colleagues for a better fit. Very elegant alternative to saying No.

Great points Rosie. It all goes back to doing business with the overall picture in mind in terms of your goals. This not only helps you draw the right people with the right communications, but helps you decline projects that will ultimately steer the business in a direction of distraction.

When I ran my Interior Decorating business, I worked with clients and took on projects that were the right fit for me, for my business, and for the client as well, the rest I declined or gave to colleagues that were a better fit.

If you are a dog groomer, you would not take on a job to groom a cat, and you would not suddenly build a doghouse for a client, just because the client will pay (unless your overall goal is to do that). You also would not take on a client who abuses animals. You have to see each client as a team member, and make certain each project and each team member is in line with the business mission!

Excellent post! Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for stopping by, Lori. If you can't be true to yourself, it isn't worth devoting so much time and energy on it.

Make your content ‘show’ instead of ‘tell’. Love this, especially important for business tips and strategies

All excellent points, but I would especially agree with "Easy to Share". I usually try to share content whenever I like something, but some bloggers just make it so difficult or complicated that it's not worth the hassle. I especially hate it when it requires you to register to comment, instead of using email/facebook etc. as most places now do.

Excellent points Rosie! Content must add value, with a teachable moment, a show and tell, an actionable item, a way to do something, or some way to help peeps get good results. This is a post worth sharing, and I will right now.

Love and hugs,

Margo

I love to receive free stuff! I think everyone should create an environment around their customers! I don't believe there is a better way to build your tribe then showing how much you appreciate them.

Re: Your Customer's "Attention Bank"

Margo DeGange, M.Ed. — Mon, 09 Jul 2012 01:12:36 -0000

Hi Rosie,

I like this post. It is true, we have to have intention and purpose in every instance of our marketing.

By the way, I read that blog post by Seth. Seems a lot of peeps are getting annoyed at the "vote" thing.

I think you nailed it when you shared that there is an exchange of attention for value, and that we must respect it.

It all goes back t relationship- building. What are we building?

Thanks for the great post!

Margo

Hey Rosie,

I truly love it when you say, "Your customers and prospects have only so much bandwidth to pay attention to your message."

Although I always make sure my messages contain real value for my subscribers and readers, your article really struck a chord... and so, from now on, I will pay even more attention to this so important part of my online business.

Love and blessings,
Chantal

Rosie,

Thanks for these reminders. We all know - or should know - about email marketing and its power, yet so many people don't take advantage of it. I must admit, there is a lot more I could do with it, and I'm taking slow steps towards it.

Great reminder and tips!

For years I have believed that being personal with my customers was a big "so what?" for them... but now I know much better!

In success,
