Starting a service-based business can be incredibly rewarding, but it’s not without its challenges.
Many entrepreneurs, whether they’re new to business management, or have been doing it for a number of years, find themselves overwhelmed with the sheer number of tasks involved – from defining their services to building a brand and attracting clients.
If you’re in this boat, you’re not alone.
Fortunately, there are proven strategies that can help you navigate these challenges effectively.
In our latest webinar, The Build, Brand, Boost Blueprint, we provide a deep dive into the strategies you need overcome these challenges.
This free, on-demand webinar is delivered by The Online Business Association’s resident marketing expert, Liam Marshall and is designed to give you actionable insights and practical steps to make starting and scaling your service-based business effortless.
Let’s take a look at what skills you’ll learn during this session…
Defining Your Services: The Foundation of Success
One of the first steps in building a successful service-based business is defining your services.
This might sound straightforward, but it’s an area where many business owners stumble. A clear and well-defined service offering is crucial for several reasons:
- Clarity for Clients: When potential clients understand exactly what you offer, they’re more likely to engage with your business. Vague or overly broad service descriptions can leave them confused and hesitant.
- Marketing Efficiency: Well-defined services allow you to create targeted marketing campaigns that speak directly to the needs of your audience.
- Operational Focus: Knowing your core services helps you streamline your operations and focus on what you do best.
During the webinar, we’ll explore how to identify your core services and match them to your skills and expertise.
We’ll also discuss how to create service packages that add value and appeal to your clients.
Branding Your Business: Building Recognition and Trust
Branding is about creating a unique identity for your business. It’s how you build recognition and trust with your audience. Without a strong brand, your business is just another name in a crowded market.
In the webinar, we’ll cover the key areas of branding, including developing your visual identity with elements like your logo and colour scheme.
We’ll also explore how to craft your brand voice so that you can create consistency across all your communications.
We’ll explore practical strategies and will take actionable steps together to help you create a cohesive and memorable brand that resonates with your target audience and stand you out from the competition.
These insights will empower you to stand out in a competitive market and build a loyal client base.
Building Your Client List: Strategies for Growth
Building a client list is essential for the growth of your business.
Your services and brand might be solid, but without clients, your business can’t thrive.
Here are some strategies we’ll discuss in the webinar:
- Content Marketing and Social Media: Sharing informative articles, videos, and blog posts related to your services helps to establish you as an expert in your field and provides value to your audience.
- Networking and Referrals: Attending industry events, joining professional groups, and connecting with potential clients and partners can significantly boost your business. We’ll also talk about creating a referral programme that rewards clients for successful referrals.
- Optimising Your Digital Presence: Having a professional, user-friendly website and utilising SEO and online directories ensures that potential clients can find you easily.
- Engaging with Potential Clients: Engaging with potential clients through valuable content and encouraging client testimonials and reviews can significantly boost your client list.
