Working full time building a UK regulatory compliance consultancy doesn't leave much spare time, however the skills and knowledge I use in my business life have a value to others and their development.To get where I have got to, I have studied, attended, listened and viewed many self-help videos, seminars, courses, books and tape/CD programs and have found certain parts, when applied to my values and standards, actually work well.As a small businessman who relies on the internet, cloud and mobile communications, you learn some trick and tips across the years that can drive traffic to your sites, including social media and other advertising. Once that traffic arrives, often more information arrives from other sources, and it is a skill to separate out the wheat from the chaff.I like to share these learning with people and love to get feedback from people where they have gained a result from following my advice. I am often asked why and how I get so much done and the simple answer is, because I want to achieve my goals, and fulfil my promises that I make to others.I do not profess to be a guru, specialist, hyper-intelligent or even clever, but by using things that make sense to me, trying and testing, tweaking and amending, over time, I have made some winning formulas in my life and love to share these with real, committed and excited people who really want to achieve their goals, plan their future and design a life. My passion is to help other people get pleasure and enjoy their time in this reality. Please visit my blog at www.leewerrell.co.uk/blog or look me up at www.Amazon.co.uk to review all my books.

How to Prepare for Success in Getting New Business
Many years ago when I set up my first self-employed business I had prepared the checklist of all the elements I needed to do to promote my new consultancy. I had stationery printed, I have secured a memorable telephone number, I had advertised locally, and position myself behind my desk awaited the new telephone to start singing to me.
As you can probably gather I had to wait a considerable time. Although I did have several contacts and existing clients, and there was the promise of some work relatively soon, I was not deluged with the enquiries I had hoped for. It was a very severe learning curve when I realised that the Yellow Pages and local advertising was very much a shotgun approach. In fact it was worse than a shotgun approach as it was completely in the dark with no measure of who or what may have been hit. By the end of my first week I had realised that a failure of these metrics could very quickly spell disaster for my business.
The reason for my immediate failure was obvious but without it I may never have had the opportunity to study how to get new clients as well as understand my weaknesses in certain skill areas.
Marketing generally, can be a bit of a nightmare to the uninitiated. Although I was not a marketing guru and had spent little time in the marketing world directly, I knew that my attempts were both naive and relatively pointless.
I embarked on a quest to try and understand, measure and better marketing efforts for no other reason than to put bread on the table. What I hadn't appreciated although I really knew anyway, wasn't this quest was to not only never end, the pace of marketing was to soon explode with the introduction of the Internet and then the latest spanner in the works, social media.
I will not bore you to death with the marketing side of things, as this can be gleaned from numerous and far better explained sources of information, but I will however occasionally refer to it as you cannot have sales without marketing, and marketing without sales is pointless.
The main issue I had initially was that I had nobody to sell to. And the reason I had nobody to sell to was because I had nobody to sit in front of. The reason I had nobody to sit in front of was because although I had worked for companies previously, I was now an unknown quantity and without the backup of a larger companies people were not sure if they can trust me. As you cannot sell to anyone who doesn't trust you then there was no way they were going to approach me unless they had a desperate need.
So to understand how to get new business we first have to identify the people that we want to do business with. Paramount to our success is understanding what these people may want from us. So we have to start with a plan of attack.
Self Perception
Are you a salesperson? There are many connotations attached to salespeople and whereas you may be a salesperson and proud to be so, try out a little exercise. When talking to your prospective buyers, tell them that you see yourself more as a consultant and that you want to identify ways to help them.
I will use the terms inter-changedly in this EBook but as long as you are fully comfortable with your self perception and how best to promote it to your clients, I will not labour the point.
What
What are we selling to the marketplace? What is the market need? What brand do we want to be known for? What is our true marketplace?
It is all too easy as a consultant to say that we can do anything, for anybody, in any situation. However that is not entirely true as anyone who purveys skills in areas for which they have no competence or appreciation is effectively treating their potential clients with contempt. Your buyer must perceive that your activity will produce sufficient outcome that will improve their condition so that using prescribed metrics they can confirm not only a successful project but also unacceptable return on investment (ROI). This ROI is what can be the making or the undoing of your future with that client.
How do people measure ROI? Typically their return is stated as a percentage of benefit achieved over a period of time divided by the investment in your consultancy. The key
