It’s no secret that the world of business is evolving faster than ever. What worked to attract clients last year might not cut it in 2024. Imagine, for a moment, being able to connect so deeply with your ideal clients that they feel like your services were crafted just for them. In today’s episode, we’re diving into the top three strategies you need to attract and enroll your ideal clients in 2024. These are the exact steps you can take to make sure you're not just keeping up with the times—but staying ahead of the curve.

Welcome to the Lifestyle Business Quest Podcast, where we help you turn your passion into a thriving lifestyle business. I’m your host, Travis Greenlee, and today we’re going to talk about something that’s on everyone’s mind—how to attract and enroll the clients who are the perfect fit for your business. Now, we all know that the business landscape has changed drastically over the past few years. What used to work—like generic email blasts or one-size-fits-all social media posts—just doesn’t cut it anymore.

Today’s clients are savvier, more discerning, and they have more choices than ever before. If you’re not tailoring your approach to meet their needs, you’re missing out on opportunities to connect with the people who would truly benefit from what you have to offer. So, how do you make sure your message cuts through the noise? How do you ensure that your marketing efforts are reaching the right people—the people who not only need your services but are also excited to work with you?

That’s why today, we’re going to explore the top three strategies that will not only help you stand out but will also resonate deeply with the clients you’re meant to serve. These strategies are all about personalization, authenticity, and a consultative approach to selling. Whether you’re a seasoned entrepreneur or just starting out, these strategies are designed to be actionable and effective in 2024. By the end of this episode, you’ll have a clear roadmap to attracting and enrolling your ideal clients—those clients who align with your values, appreciate your expertise, and are ready to invest in what you offer.

But before we dive in, I want you to take a moment to think about the clients you’ve worked with in the past year. Which ones were your absolute favorites? The ones who made you feel excited about your work? Those are the clients we’re focusing on today. We’re going to talk about how to attract more of those clients—the ones who make your business not just profitable, but fulfilling.

Let’s start with the first strategy: Leveraging Personalized Content Marketing. In 2024, the key to attracting your ideal clients is to create content that feels like it’s speaking directly to them. Gone are the days when generic content could capture attention. Today’s clients want to feel understood—they want to see themselves in the content you create. The more you can personalize your content, the more likely it is to resonate with the people you’re trying to reach.

I remember working with a client who was struggling to connect with her audience. She was putting out regular content—blog posts, social media updates, you name it—but wasn’t getting the engagement she hoped for. She felt like she was shouting into the void, and nothing was coming back. So, we took a step back and asked a crucial question: Who is your ideal client? What are their specific needs, pain points, and desires? We realized that her content, while valuable, was too broad. It wasn’t speaking to any one group of people in particular.

We decided to dig deeper into her ideal client’s persona. We got crystal clear on who they were—busy professionals looking to find balance in their lives, who valued practical advice but also wanted a touch of inspiration. Once we had that clarity, we tailored her content to address those specific issues. We shifted her blog posts to cover topics like 'How to Find Time for Yourself When You’re Managing a Team' and 'The Busy Professional’s Guide to Mindfulness.' We introduced video content where she shared quick, actionable tips that could be consumed in five minutes or less, perfect for her time-strapped audience.

The transformation was incredible. She went from barely getting any interaction to having her inbox flooded with inquiries from people who felt like she was speaking directly to them. These weren’t just any inquiries—these were from people who were exactly the kind of clients she wanted to work with. They saw themselves in her content, and that made them feel connected to her even before they reached out.

So, how can you apply this to your own business? Start by really getting to know your ideal client. I’m talking about more than just demographics—go deeper. What are their biggest challenges? What keeps them up at night? What are they dreaming of? Once you have that clarity, create content that addresses those needs in a personalized way. Think about using video marketing, where you can speak directly to your audience, or interactive webinars where they can engage with you in real-time. These formats allow you to create a more personalized experience, which is exactly what clients are looking for in 2024.

But it doesn’t stop there. Personalization is also about the delivery of your content. In 2024, we’re seeing a rise in AI-driven tools that can help you personalize at scale. Tools that can tailor your email marketing campaigns to the individual recipient, or that can recommend specific content to users based on their past behavior. By leveraging these tools, you can create a personalized experience for each of your clients without having to do all the heavy lifting yourself. It’s about working smarter, not harder, and ensuring that your message lands exactly where it needs to.

The second strategy is all about building authentic relationships through community engagement. In a world that’s becoming increasingly digital, people are craving genuine connections more than ever. They don’t just want to follow a brand; they want to be part of a community where they feel seen and heard. This is where community engagement comes into play. By creating a space where your clients can connect with you and each other, you’re not just building a client base—you’re building a tribe.

I’ve seen the power of community firsthand. One of my clients, who runs a wellness coaching business, was struggling to stand out in a crowded market. She was passionate about what she did, but she felt like she was constantly competing for attention. We talked about the idea of building a community—a place where her clients and potential clients could come together, share their experiences, and support each other.

She started a private Facebook group where she regularly engaged with her audience. She posted daily tips, hosted live Q&A sessions, and shared her own journey—the ups and the downs. But more importantly, she made it a point to interact with her group members. She responded to every comment, acknowledged every success, and offered encouragement during the tough times. This wasn’t just about marketing; it was about building relationships.

The results were nothing short of amazing. Her Facebook group grew rapidly, and it wasn’t long before her community members started referring others to join. Her business didn’t just grow—it exploded. And these weren’t just one-time clients; they were loyal advocates who couldn’t wait to spread the word about her services. They felt connected to her, not just as a coach, but as a person. And that made all the difference.

So, how can you create this kind of community in your own business? Start by identifying where your ideal clients are spending their time online. Is it on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, or maybe even a niche platform? Once you know where they are, create a space for them to gather. This could be a Facebook group, a Skool community, or even a membership site.

But don’t just create the space—engage with your community regularly. Share valuable content, start conversations, and most importantly, listen to what your community members are saying. Ask questions, get feedback, and let them know that their voice matters. When people feel like they’re part of something bigger, they’re more likely to stay engaged and, eventually, become clients.

Hosting live events, whether in-person or virtual, can also be a powerful way to build community. Consider hosting regular webinars, workshops, or meetups where your community can come together to learn, share, and connect. These events can be a great way to showcase your expertise and build trust with your audience.

Remember, the goal is to create a space where your clients feel like they belong. A place where they can connect with you and each other on a more personal level. When you do this, you’re not just building a client base—you’re creating a loyal community of advocates who will support you and your business for the long haul.

Finally, let’s talk about the third strategy: Mastering the Art of Consultative Selling. In 2024, selling isn’t about pushing your services onto someone—it’s about having a conversation that uncovers their needs and shows them how you can help. This approach, known as consultative selling, is all about being a trusted advisor rather than a salesperson. It’s about building a relationship based on trust, where the focus is on helping the client find the right solution for their needs. 

I’ll share an experience from a few months ago when I was working with a coach who was struggling with her sales calls. She had a great coaching program, but she felt uncomfortable with the traditional sales pitch. She didn’t want to come across as pushy, and as a result, she often ended up underselling herself. We decided to shift her approach to consultative selling. Instead of trying to convince someone to buy, she focused on understanding their challenges and offering tailored solutions.

We worked on asking the right questions during her sales calls—questions that would help her get to the heart of what her potential clients were struggling with. Instead of starting with a pitch, she started with curiosity. She asked about their goals, their challenges, and what they had tried in the past. By the time she got to talking about her services, the conversation was already framed around how she could specifically help them.

The result? Her conversion rate skyrocketed. Her prospects didn’t feel like they were being sold to—they felt like they were being helped. And because they felt understood, they were much more likely to say yes to working with her. This is the power of consultative selling—it’s not about closing the sale; it’s about opening a relationship.

So how can you implement consultative selling in your own business? Start by shifting your mindset from selling to serving. Instead of thinking about how you can close the sale, think about how you can help the person in front of you. Ask questions that uncover their true needs, and listen—really listen—to their answers.

Once you understand their needs, show them how your service can specifically address those needs. This might mean customizing your offering to fit their unique situation or simply explaining how your existing service can solve their problem. The key is to make the conversation about them, not about you.

Another important aspect of consultative selling is being transparent. If your service isn’t the right fit for someone, be honest about it. Recommend other solutions if necessary. This might sound counterintuitive, but it builds trust—and trust is the foundation of a strong client relationship. When people know you have their best interests at heart, they’re more likely to come back to you when they’re ready, or refer others to you who are a better fit.

Lastly, don’t be afraid to follow up. After a consultative conversation, check in with your prospect. Ask if they have any further questions, offer additional resources, or simply let them know you’re there if they need anything. This follow-up can be the difference between a prospect who moves on and one who becomes a loyal client.

So, let’s recap the top three strategies we’ve covered today. First, leverage personalized content marketing to speak directly to your ideal clients’ needs. Remember, personalization is key in 2024. It’s not just about creating content; it’s about creating content that resonates deeply with the people you’re trying to reach.

Second, build authentic relationships through community engagement. In a world that’s increasingly digital, people are craving genuine connections. By creating a space where your clients can connect with you and each other, you’re not just building a client base—you’re building a tribe of loyal advocates.

And third, master the art of consultative selling. Selling in 2024 isn’t about pushing your services onto someone—it’s about having a conversation that uncovers their needs and shows them how you can help. This approach builds trust and turns prospects into long-term clients.

These strategies are designed to help you attract and enroll your ideal clients in 2024, but they only work if you put them into action. I encourage you to start implementing these ideas today. Take a look at your current content—are you speaking directly to your ideal clients? Do you have a community where your clients can connect with you and each other? Are you approaching sales as a conversation, rather than a pitch?
