3 killer ideas to increase your clients’ activity

Posted on by brainfused in Action plan, Branding, Customer service, How to, Sales

When you already have some clients who are benefiting from your services or products within the spiritual industry, it’s time to ask yourself: how to make an even bigger positive impact? Maybe you’ve helped them feel more realigned, more energised or guided them to unleash their true calling or coached them with their personal development. But how often do they come back to you?

Having returning clients is the ultimate seal of approval that you’re doing something well. Even if you served your customers in a way that they don’t need a follow up, they become your walking advertisement. There are multiple options to maximise the opportunities to not only generate more revenue per customer, but to increase your brand visibility as well. Happy clients equal to a healthy business. I’m sharing 3 killer ideas on how you can increase your clients’ activity to bring you:

✔️ more revenue

✔️ more new customers

✔️ more fulfillment

✔️ much more impact in the word.

ASK FOR REFERRALS

Asking for referrals is the simplest yet the most overlooked technique. I’m starting with this one as this is the most powerful tool you can use; forget digital marketing for a second and trust me: word of mouth is still the most effective way to get you leads who are the easiest to convert into paying customers. If you are making a living out of what you’re passionate about then you would be delivering an excellent service to your clients (that doesn’t feel like work), which means that they are having an amazing customer experience and likely to be talking about you already within their network. How can you ask your customers to send you more business without sounding too ‘salesy’? I’m a big believer in the power of personal touch! Reach out to them a few weeks after they purchased your service or product and make your follow up as personal as you can. If you built a rapport with them, use the little details to ask how they’re doing since you last spoke.

For example: “Hey Tom, how are you getting on with the guided meditation I showed you to help you become more focused? What was your biggest success when using the technique?”

Either you are following up with them by phone, email, Whatsapp, Social Media or in person make sure you end your conversation by telling them how grateful you’d be if they shared your details in case they know anyone who could benefit from your service / product. If you are in a position to offer them a freebie in return for the referral, it’s even better. Another great way to maximise referrals is to promote it while they are purchasing /using your service or product. Offering an incentive or discount for them if they bring you more clients will strengthen your market position in a powerful way.

Competition time

It doesn’t matter what your spiritual / esoteric business offers as a service or a product, your clients will love a competition when they can bag something for free. Who doesn’t like the thrill of winning? If you launch your competition with a strategic angle, you’ll not only get your existing customers become more engaged and loyal to you but will have the opportunity to reach new clients as well. I personally always recommend launching a competition that:

✔️ creates value for your existing customers

✔️ has a limited timeframe for the offer

✔️ will give the opportunity to showcase your winner (blog post, interview, podcast, social media feature)

✔️ opens up doors for collaborations

Try to keep track of your competitions and promotions so you’ll have a good idea what works best within your audience. Some of my clients see amazing results when offering flash sales within their competition campaigns and some get better results when there is a physical item to be won.

Customer testimonials

This one probably goes without saying how important it is to have written feedback from your customers. Obviously it’s a great way to boost your credibility and showcase how your spiritual business stands out from your competition, however, it’s also a great tool to get your clients become more active. Remember what I said about referrals?

There are many ways you can feature customer reviews but keep in mind the real reason why you actually want them. Are you a new business and you need to show that you’re the real deal? Are you trying to position yourself in a specific niche in your market? Are you trying to get better visibility within your clients’ network? Having a more structured and strategic approach with your customer reviews will be a huge pay-off in the long-term.

Figure out where you need the biggest boost and direct your clients with their reviews with that goal in mind. If it’s your social media presence that you want to focus on, then ask them to leave reviews on Facebook or get their permission to post their feedback on your Instagram stories. In case you’re a TikTok-er then produce a video of you sharing the lovely reviews. So many options, the key is to remain strategic!

These 3 tips should be starting points when you’re trying to grow and scale-up your spiritual business with authenticity in focus. Getting your customers more engaged, will lead you to an expanded audience, more loyal clients and stronger brand positioning.

What is a spiritual business?

Posted on by brainfused in Branding, Spiritual

Holistic, esoteric and spiritual activities have been emerging as a collective industry in recent years yet we still don’t have a separate industry for these type of spiritual businesses. The market sort of shoves them within the Health & Wellness sector incorrectly. Times have changed and all the energy healers, spiritual coaches and esoteric service providers are in limbo trying to explain in business terms what they do.

There are numerous successful holistic wellness centers, yoga retreats, meditation schools, alternative medicine suppliers, psychic readers, metaphysical teachers and many more ambitious souls out there healing the collective consciousness and guiding people through their spiritual development, yet they still might get a reaction of a raised eyebrow when they explain what their career is about. Turning your spiritual calling, your skills and knowledge into your career is the way forward to start shifting this perception about energy work.

So what is the Spiritual industry and what does a spiritual business do?

When you think about services and professionals that are helping someone’s spiritual development, you might think that it is a small niche. In reality it is a very broad industry that with time should see its own niches emerging. If I had to define it in very simple terms, then

any professional who makes a living from working with energy could fit into this category. In addition to businesses who are providing supplies to these professionals.

SMEs, freelancers, startups and established large organisations all function well within the spiritual industry which has been growing rapidly in recent years and it is projected to keep expanding. Throughout my market research I identified that people have been searching more online about the collective consciousness, personal development, spiritual awakening, enlightenment, kundalini awakening, energy work and chakra healing just to mention a few most searched topics. However, a surprising fact for me was to find out that one of the top keywords that was driving traffic to websites related to spiritual development was: depression. People who are going through difficult times are looking for answers within and they are seeking meaning. They are looking for ways to develop themselves, to change their mindset and seeking for personal development tools they are likely to stumble across spiritual development as well.

Esoteric, holistic and spiritual service providers are playing a key role in changing our world, raising our collective consciousness and healing humanity. Either by supplying books, meditation aids, yoga mats, crystals to customers and businesses or providing spiritual guidance to clients by coaching them, teaching them or healing them. These professionals might find it challenging how to explain what they do in business terms and the “traditional” business world might not realise that there is a broad industry out there focusing on spiritual work. If you are unsure how to tun your spiritual skills and knowledge into your career to start your own business, then you might find this comprehensive guide useful to get you started: THE COLLECTIVE GUIDE OF HOW TO TURN YOUR SPIRITUAL CALLING INTO YOUR CAREER.

Why authentic brand positioning will get you more customers?

Posted on by brainfused in Branding, How to

What you tell your customers about your services is one thing, but how they see you in the market, against your competitors will be one of the deciding factors to choose you over someone else. It sounds simple right? So let’s see how it’s actually done.

If someone is searching for a credible professional in the holistic, spiritual or esoteric industries they are most likely not be the type of customer who are making decisions based on only logic. These people are looking for answers, solutions and guidance on an intuitive level. Price value, years of experience and flexibility might not be enough for you to attract clients. You need to really get your message across to your audience in the most authentic way.

How to communicate your mission to your customers on a soul level?

BE VULNERABLE

It’s time to get your walls down to show your raw journey. Every energy healer, lightworker, esoteric service provider I met, has been through their ‘dark night of the soul’, they all had a downward spiral that made them start an awakening journey towards enlightenment. It seems inevitable. You need to embrace your darkness before you can really shine your light. So don’t be afraid to show these experiences to your audience. They are likely to be going through something similar so by opening up to them, your potential customers will resonate with you even more on a deeper level. That beats pricing, advertising and even referrals.

BE HONEST

Honesty is the best policy, we heard this many times yet not many of us actually apply this when it comes to business. We live in a world now when people are sick and tired of being manipulated and brainwashed. And marketing is infamous for doing that. Even though I’m incredibly passionate about marketing, I never created an advert or a campaign that was based on lies. I believe that authentic marketing and authentic branding goes a long way in the long term. Make sure that hat you communicate through your social media, your website and in person is actually fully in line with what you are about. There really is no need to ‘tweak’ things. You need to learn how to communicate your mission effectively yes, but that doesn’t mean sounding ‘salesy’. This is a sophisticated method paired with high emotional intelligence to get the grips of coming across authentic yet effective in business terms.

BE RELATABLE

What does that even mean you might think? If you are in the spiritual, holistic therapies or esoteric industries then you are dealing with a very different customer profile than an average business. You clients are looking for some kind of connection, some kind of sign that you are the person they are seeking. They want to resonate with you, to feel like you are their manifestation to their inner questions. If they can’t relate to you in any way, then it will be very unlikely that they will turn into a paying customer. And if you don’t have customers paying for your services then you will remain stuck in that job that doesn’t actually make you feel fulfilled because you are still financially dependent to do something that’s not in line with your soul’s calling. I’m on a mission to help you step away from that so you can spend your time on what you feel passionate about and make it your career not just a hobby.

Once you learn how to communicate all of the above in an authentic way, it will get you closer to your customers and it will help you scale up your spiritual business to create financial independence for you. Do what you love, do what your soul has been whispering you to do for a while now. Make a positive impact in the world instead of working for others just to pay the bills. I want you to live your life that is fully aligned with your soul’s purpose. Let me help you get there by giving you a fully customised, easy to follow strategy.
