In this post, we will explore common pitfalls that can attract the wrong clients and provide actionable strategies to ensure you draw in those who are ready to harness storytelling for their business success.
Now, let’s dive into how you can refine your approach to attract the clients who will benefit most from your expertise. Here are three ways you might inadvertently attract the wrong clients, along with what to do instead:
1. Focusing on Price Rather Than Value
When your marketing efforts focus primarily on price rather than the value of your storytelling services, you tend to attract clients who are fixated on finding the cheapest option available.
These clients often prioritize cost over quality and may not fully appreciate the unique benefits that a well-crafted story can bring to their business. This can lead to a mismatch in expectations, where clients are more concerned with short-term savings rather than long-term strategic growth.
By emphasizing price, you risk undervaluing your expertise and the transformative impact your services can have.

What you should do instead
Instead, highlight the exceptional value and distinctive advantages your storytelling approach offers, showcasing how it can drive significant business improvements and a strong return on investment.
This shift in focus will help attract clients who understand and are willing to invest in the profound benefits of your storytelling expertise.
2. Using Generic Messaging
When you rely on generic messaging in your marketing materials, you can unintentionally attract clients who lack a clear understanding of their needs and may not be fully committed to the storytelling process.
Generic messages fail to communicate the unique strengths and specialized benefits of your services, leading to a broad appeal that attracts clients without a specific problem to solve or a clear goal in mind.

These clients may approach storytelling with vague expectations, hoping for a quick fix rather than a strategic partnership. As a result, you may find yourself working with clients who are not fully invested in the process or who lack the motivation to see it through to its fullest potential.
What you should do instead
To avoid this, craft targeted and specific messaging that speaks directly to the pain points and goals of your ideal clients.
By clearly defining your niche and the specific benefits you offer, you will attract clients who have a genuine need for your expertise and are ready to engage deeply in the storytelling journey. Read more at https://aclasses.org/wrong-clients/
