Who is your most common client type?
Permalink Closed

Hi all,

I was just wondering whether you have a common trade amongst your client's.
At the moment my most popular client is the window cleaner! Coming a close 2nd is the Hairdresser.

Have you noticed any trends in your customers?

Gill

Right now mine is tradesmen, although I'm trying to make a dent on the local driving instructors as there seems to be hundreds of them.

Unfortunately they're not big earners, I don't think I could discount much!

I did target driving instructors and taxi drivers, but not had much success. They say that they do their own bookkeeping... but working with an accountancy practice I know that most still need help! Just difficult to convince them.

Found it very price sensitive. £100 anything else extra if you ask me :/

I'm thinking of getting 100 car air fresheners printed up with my details and sending one to each driving instructor. I already have a price structure I know to be very competitive for driving instructors of less than the cost of 1 lesson per month. I'd like to do taxi drivers, but other than a box to the local taxi companies I don't know how to get their details. Kris

Great idea. I was up against drivers staying in their community for acc/tax services, so not much luck.

I found them for £1 each which isn't cheap, but if 1 client comes from 100 then they've paid for themselves.
