Selecting Right Clients

Depending on the stage and life of your business, taking on every possible client or project that comes your way can be good or bad for your company. It is much easier to turn down work when business is booming and you have a number of projects under contract. It is also very tempting to take on the wrong client or project when times are slow.

Our blog focus today is aimed at making your business more successful by selecting the right clients and projects at the right time.

Consider Referring Work
If you are already under pressure with current client projects and new work comes your way, consider saying no to the project. Instead refer this potential business to another women entrepreneur who might have the time or expertise to handle this project now. This referral could land you future business the next time the person you referred business to is too busy to handle a new client or project.

Consider the Impact of Taking on A New Client
If you are offered business that is not quite right for you or your company,
consider whether it's worth the risk of giving up valuable business that might come your way tomorrow. Make sure you don't take on business just to fill time or to make money. Make sure you understand the time this new project takes can potentially force you to turn away repeat customers or bigger clients who might call you next week.

Be Careful About Quick Deadline Dates
If you are asked to perform work that needs to be done within a very tight schedule, pay attention to the possible negative effects that might result. This new business might not be worth the price you'll pay by putting other contracted clients on hold, performing a lower quality of work due to time constraints, or putting unhealthy pressure on yourself.
