Reading Clients’ Minds

March 12, 2010 By Sherra 1 Comment

Sometimes I might as well be having the following conversation with a client when it comes to their projects.

Client – I need you to find someone to build me a fence.

Me – Where?

Client – Out around my property.

Me – Do you have a lot layout/dimensions of where you want the fence?

Client – Um, I’m not sure exactly where I want it yet.

Me – OK, moving on…What’s the fence for?

Client – Why does it matter?

Me – Um, well, is it going to be a decorative one, a tall one to keep stuff out, for livestock, chickens, kids, etc.?

Client – Oh, I just want something around the perimeter to define my property.

Me – OK, so, chain link/hurricane fencing, barbed wire, chicken wire, picket, privacy, split rail, stone, brick…???

Yeah, that conversation could go on and on, but I think you get the idea. Seriously, clients and potential clients, KNOW what you want when you ask your VA to do something for you – and SHARE that information with him/her. Don’t give just half the information. If you KNOW you’re going to want a 4″ natural stone fence, pass that information on. It’s very costly for YOU (and frustrating to us) when we have to drag it out of you and end up on a snipe hunt!
