The deluxe service

If you’ve stayed at a posh hotel you may already know about the deluxe services that are available … if you have enough money. And, I’m not talking about a bigger room and well-stocked the mini-bar.

That’s nice but with the deluxe service comes a suite with a view, a concierge, packing and unpacking, in-suite beauty and spa treatments, a private chef, and luxury car service.

Wow! I know it reads like something out of a movie, right?

But there are people who live like that all the time. They want deluxe treatment. Exclusive access and privileges. Convenience and time saving. Personalised attention. And status.

Now back to consulting, and a question for you to consider.

When did you last offer a client a deluxe option alongside your standard consulting?

What might that look like?

Well here are 7 ideas for things you might want to offer:

  1. Exclusive briefings from a top tier consultant;
  2. Immersive ‘innovations lab’ experience.
  3. Ultra personalised attention and rapid response;
  4. Exclusive tools, templates, and playbooks;
  5. Bi-annual exclusive peer conference;
  6. Private and discrete executive thinking partnership (coaching);
  7. Project branding and internal influence strategy;

Does this list fire up your imagination or does your mind respond … “my clients would never.”

Well clients do!

I’ve seen packages like this chosen at 3 - 10 times regular fees.

The mini-mission.

Look at a recent proposal and see what you might have offered as a deluxe package alongside the regular one.

What did you try this week that's different?

Just take a moment to answer this question. What did you try this week that's different? And I'm not meaning eating Hákarl (although kudos if you did). I'm meaning a different way to have impact or influence. Most candidates applying for coaching haven'

Focus on problems, not solutions, to self-source new projects

If you hang out with me for any length of time you'll hear me talk about Sales Conversations and Marketing Conversations. In essence Marketing Conversations are dialogues between a consultant and a client, the desired outcome of which is to uncover a worthwhile project to work on. And
