Alright, so you have a business plan for a great home based business system and a list of services to offer potential clients from your home and you have a custom domain name to list those services worldwide. Also, you’ve even got an auto-responder to hand out those generic emails. Now that you have all that, what is next? Well, now it’s time to cultivate a good list of clients. This isn’t that hard of a task, it is just time consuming. First off, you’ll have to make an effort and answer every email that has been answered by your auto-responder and as time consuming as this endeavor might turn out to be, it’s going to be a valuable part of cultivating clients.

Building a list of clients for your home based business system can be a fun experience and some of the emails you will receive will range from humorous to rude to professional. Most would recommend that you be as selective as possible when deciding if a client will become a client. Your home based business will be better off with a good list of reliable clients, which will pay their bills on time. There will be nothing worse than an unsatisfied client, and you won’t want to find this out later.

After you have started a relationship, the next step is to deliver valuable information in order to draw your customer in. Remember, you have a service that needs to be sold. Think of “drawing the customer in”, as a rewarding “get to know you” experience. Building your home based business system doesn’t have to feel like work. This part should not be treated as if you are giving something away, but rather like you are gaining something.

Building a rapport with the customer is sensitive and if you give too little information, you run the risk of losing your potential customer for your home based business system. If you give too much information, you run the same risk just in the opposite manner. The absolute worst thing to do is give bad service. Everything you do at this point is under scrutiny, because the client is also trying to decide whether or not to use your services. The key here is to be professional at all times and give your services the whole- hearted effort you would want someone to put in for you, if the situation were to be reversed.

Your home based business system will succeed, as long as you are willing to put the time and effort to get it started and operating properly. As long as you perform the services you listed, both competently and efficiently, there shouldn’t be any problems. If you have any problems with clients, remember to address these issues promptly. Your customers will give your services a good review, as long as you do what you say you’re going to do. Also, accountability is a huge part of business and don’t forget to offer your other services, while you are gaining your new clients on the side.
