Practice Building: Create a Powerful and Targeted Call to Action for Your Prospects

A "Call To Action" is an invitation for your prospective clients to actively engage you in some way- directly or indirectly.

Most prospective clients, even if they are very interested in working with you, often need a way to build a relationship with you in bite-sized pieces to work up to engaging your services.

Effective marketing will ALWAYS include a SPECIFIC, EASY, TARGETED, COMPELLING, and usually FREE, call to action.

Everything you send out can and should include a call to action; e-mails (in the signature line), web site, flyers, business card, advertising, announcements, newsletters, even the outgoing greeting of your voicemail system.

Three Types of Calls TO Action

Requests

-Please forward to your interested colleagues

-Your feedback would be appreciated!

When a prospect acts on any of the above, they are interacting with you and become a warmer lead.

The three types of calls to action have different purposes and timing, and your marketing efforts should include a combination.

What can you invite your prospective clients to do, what can you offer them, that they would be likely to act upon, that would build your relationship with them?
