8. People share two kinds of service:
Terrible service
Exceptional service
The ability to share today is greater than ever
Exceptional service = differentiation
Good service is fine, but it doesn’t differentiate
Remember who’s the boss
The client pays our salary
Why service?
9. Clients don’t buy products or services:
They buy good feelings
They buy problem solving
Most clients needs are emotional, not rational
Your brand is what people say about you
Our focus should be on service before anything else
Creating value that exceeds the limits of our product
Generating a unique service experience
Why service?
13. What can I give that no one else has?

unexpected?

14. Personalization to clients’ needs
Who do I buy from?
What do I buy?
How do I buy?

Are you good at what you do?
Do you really care about me?

15. Thinking outside the box
The surprise and shock factor carries a huge impact
Showing gratitude and appreciation to our clients
Treat clients as if they were guests at your house
Loyalty is more important than satisfaction
Satisfied customers are still price-driven

18. What is positioning?
It’s not “what is my service?”
It’s not “what do I think my service is?”
It’s what my clients think about my service
Why is positioning important?
Allows me to get to more customers
Allows me to receive higher commissions
Allows me to enjoy my business and grow
