Meeting Your Customers Where They Are

Meeting Your Customers Where They Are

What’s a businessperson do when their client platform can be counted on one hand (and no fingers)? If you find yourself in this situation (of having legitimate value to offer even though no one knows your business name), there’s hope. You just need to start marketing your offer to the people who want it the most. In most cases, your target audience will fall into one of two categories – people who are already seeking support and those who have yet to realize that they would like your help.

Unspoken Partnership – Have you ever experienced calm in the midst of chaos? It’s a rare experience – like glimpsing a rainbow fringing a thunderstorm or the eerie silence cradled within the razing winds of a hurricane. Nevertheless, once witnessed, the experience is almost impossible to forget.

Catalyst or Substrate? – If you can still remember the biochemistry lessons from school, you might recall the idea of a catalyst. In biochemistry, a catalyst is a substance that is able to speed up the reaction between other chemicals. At the same time, a catalyst is special. Unlike a substrate, a catalyst only helps to aid a chemical change. It isn’t consumed during the transformation being accomplished.

Two-Faced Angel? – There’s an inherent challenge to being a popular celebrity. On the one hand, a major part of the job involves showcasing the best of your person and behavior. On the other hand, it’s nearly impossible for the human to be as perfect as their handcrafted image.

Find Balance or Bust – In days not-so-long past, one of the more popular circus acts included tightrope walking. Although the daredevil art isn’t practiced quite as commonly today, there are still occasions when performers will attempt the feat – defying gravity while crossing gashes of space between landmarks such as skyscrapers, the cliffs of the Grand Canyon, or the outcroppings abutting Niagara Falls.

Butter Knife to the Rescue – Have you ever had to position a screw by turning it with a butter knife? How did it go? If you’re like me, you probably made do with the tool at hand, while simultaneously thinking, “I could really use a screwdriver right about now.”

(Ancient) Blueprint of a Home Business – I remember once receiving a blender as a gift. There it stood in pristine fresh-from-the-box form. Despite its state-of-the-art touchpad, it was still clearly a blender. Because of this, I knew what it was and what it was for. I understood the concepts of placing my ingredients inside, replacing the lid, pushing a button, and letting the machine do its work. Despite this fact, I still paused for a moment.
