How to Stick Out and Get Clients to Remember You

We are a stimulated society. Our senses are tested thousands of times over daily. From the city that never sleeps smelling like syrup to the ever-evolving way our eyes are inundated with advertisements, we have both people and things vying for our attention.

What makes you stand out in a client or potential client’s mind? Is it the quality of your work? The color of your hair? Or maybe the firmness of your handshake?

All of these, and so much more, could be things that can make or break deals for you.

Are You Lucky, Fortunate, or Good?

Much to my wife’s disdain, talk radio not only keeps me awake during road trips it entertains me and helps to pass the time much more quickly as I drive. She on the other hand finds it mostly boring and doesn’t quite understand my attempts to argue with a medium that is incapable of hearing or responding to my points. Thankfully, during our recent return trip from holiday our little one needed her attention more than usual and I was able to argue, insult, agree and disagree with almost any talking head I wanted.

I was a decent freelancer last year. I passed the two-year full-time mark, I had clients on retainer and new clients still coming in. Business had doubled since the year before and signs were pointing to nice growth for year three as well. All the bills got paid every month and our savings had actually grown compared to when I was employed full-time.

I was a decent freelancer. At least I thought I was.

In October of last year my title and role changed a little from husband to husband/father. Uh oh. My emotions ran the gamut from elation to ‘who in the world would trust me with a kid?’ And everywhere in between. I can still remember the day that we were being discharged to go home wondering if I could find some little defect on him just so they’d let us stay a few more days to get our feet wet before he was under our care 100% of the time. Sad, I know. We did get him home and we were able to adjust. I haven’t dropped him or broken any bones, and according to my wife I’m a decent dad.
