Are your potential clients struggling to reach a buying decision?

Use a contrast conversation to highlight what they'll get by working with you on the project. Step by step, here's how to do it ...

1/ Highlight the contrast between the current “problem state” and a future “desired state”.

2/ Show the client how to resolve their current challenges or problems.

3/ Emphasise how value creation takes place during the process.

4/ Use real examples of how you've helped other companies in similar situations.

5/ Using a contrast conversation makes action more likely. Done well it increases the client's willingness to work with you. It makes your consulting services appealing.

That's how to help clients reach a decision.

Now, do you have an example of where you've used a contrast conversation to close the business?

What's really going on

“ … all of us hold on tightly to many things we don’t really have.” This line from Patrick Rhone’s book - This Could Help - got me thinking about our attitudes toward pipelines, relationships, and services.

Think Different

I love it when there's a seemingly Unreasonable Agenda. The Apple Think Different campaign epitomised this. Just look at the change makers: Albert Einstein: Questioned absolute space-time. Bob Dylan: Reimagined song meanings poetically. Martin Luther King Jr.: Envisioned equality beyond segregation. Richard Branson: Ignored business conventions fearlessly.
