<\/a>avoid the funhouse mirror effect.<\/strong><\/p>\n by martin bissett<\/i> there used to be an old exercise used in training sessions about customer relations or selling or leadership that went like this. the trainer would ask the group to think about the color green. a few seconds later he would ask them what type of green they were thinking of, and of course there would be many variations of green.<\/p>\n more: <\/b>your website promises. do you deliver?<\/a> | a lesson in customer service and reputation<\/a> | prioritize your prospects<\/a> | consistency is key to business development<\/a> | five questions about your network<\/a> | seven things that good advisors skip<\/a> the point is that, as the saying goes, perception is reality. whatever each person perceived as green, that would be the reality for them \u2013 but it would be different for each person in the room. so in preparing for client and prospect conversations, you must learn to see the conversation from their perspective, rather than your own. otherwise, you might think a meeting went very well, but all the prospect heard was you talking about your firm for two hours, which was not the reason they agreed to meet with you.<\/p>\n it is essential, therefore, to building a successful selling culture in your firm that sees all the partners and senior managers learn as much about clients as possible, as that will help them see the conversation from the client point of view rather than yours. it is the client\u2019s perception of value that will make up their mind in favor of your firm or against it.<\/p>\n you may think your proposals read very well and that your price is fair, but if the prospect disagrees, then it doesn\u2019t matter. you will lose the opportunity.<\/p>\n the more you know about the prospect, the more you can put yourself in his or her shoes, and the more you can ensure that what you deliver is seen by the client as perceived value.<\/p>\n perception \u2013 the client\u2019s<\/strong> perception \u2013 is the difference between success and failure in the area of business development.<\/p>\n business development task<\/strong><\/p>\n schedule specific, non-interruptible time in your diary to considering how you can build the importance of the client\u2019s perception into the business development culture of your firm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" avoid the\u00a0funhouse mirror effect.<\/strong>

\nseen in terms of this proactive business building process, your client\u2019s<\/strong> perception is his or her reality \u2013 not necessarily your<\/strong> perception. and it\u2019s that perceived reality the client will act on in deciding whether or not to come over to your firm.<\/p>\n
