Who's your perfect client?

A referral from an existing client.

Clients brag. And a client that brags about your service...gives lots of information, like how much you charge, what they get, how long it takes...

I ask clients, "Who have you talked to about the service I provided?" That's who I want to see. That's the ideal prospect.. If they know what you charge, and what you do, it's a huge plus.

And a great added bonus in selling, is that this referral only knows one other business owner that you have talked to...and he bought from you. So "buying from you" becomes the expected outcome.

My perfect client is someone who pays me on time every time! and who understands what I'm doing for them.

the perfect client is whoes behaviour is nice and gave payment on time...

I agree with several others in here. I have 2 ideal regular clients right now.
Both prepay. Both trust me 100% with zero complaints.
One of the 2 was my first customer when I started 7 years ago.
The other started with me 4 years ago.

Other than that, I look for advance decent payments, clarity on jobs,
niches I know a lot about and ones I can also now consider as friends.

Always a referral. They have generally been forewarned of what a pain in the ass I am to work with but that I'm worth it because of what I produce and my competitive pricing in my local market.

Cost of acquisition? $0.00.

1 dog
2 small children
slightly liberal politics
born out of town
previously owned at least 1 other dog
has been consuming my content for over 2 months
subscribes to at least 1 self help forum/magazine/provider
ranks time with her children as a very high priority
did NOT get the dog as a "practice" child
spends regular time with their dog

Since trying to find out more about the psychographics of my best clients and the best clients of other businesses like mine I've had much more luck attracting those clients quicker and more cheaply.

Its all about payment and appreciation the work we do is fantastic we are service leaders and have strong case study's to prove our success. We are starting to get good ones. The perfect client is one who is on the same page and puts its trust in you. He ensures you are well paid for the time and paid on time.

Me. I'm my perfect client. Not only am I tall, dark and handsome, I'm also suave, debonaire.


Waaaay ahead of you. I gave me that medal years ago.

My client is perfect..He's really helpful to me and my job in every space..And he pays me good amount according to my work..

$10K plus to spend and cost zero in acquisition costs. Also being easy and pleasant to deal with is a big help too!

The perfect client is someone who doesn't act as if they know more about your field than you do. Pays on time, not much of requests.

As your business evolves, as you learn and grow, this model will evolve as well, but perhaps the continual process of discovery is just as important as what you discover.

A Genie comes and says he'll give my my perfect client? Who do I want?

I know exactly who I want. I don't even have to think about it.

A female 25 to 45 (maybe as young as 14 or as old as 60, but not as likely). She loves Elves, wizards, unicorns, Dungeons & Dragons, and probably reads comic books, CosPlays at conventions, watches anime, and plays RPGs (table top, CCGs, and video games.) She probably likes the Witcher franchise and the InuYasha series.

Most importantly, she loves Yaoi, Barra, Bishonen, Twinks, Semes, Sissies, Transvestites, BDSM, CBT, Monster Porn, and other similar forms of Gay Erotica, which she obsessively reads, and when she can not find more new titles to read, she starts writing gay slash fan fiction porn for to satisfy her need for more gay Elf wizards.

Why is this my perfect client? Because I'm a Yaoi author. The main character of the series I write is a bisexual transvestite Elf wizard. His lover is a gay unicorn. His other lover is a Half-Elf/Half-Demon. He also has 4 wives.

When I'm not writing Yaoi novels to sell on Amazon, I'm on my website writing articles on how to write Yaoi novels and sell them on Amazon.

Meaning my ideal client is the young women who wants to read Yaoi (so buys my books) and then after reading Yaoi wants to write her own Yaoi (so heads to my site to read my articles on doing so.)

She also has a lot of friends on Tumblr and shares her Yaoi obsession with them, recommending my novels to them, then recommending my articles. Together they gather on Reddit and FanFiction.net to tell even more people about my books and articles, and thus she drives traffic from far and wide by telling everyone she can, every where she goes.

And so when a DiJinn pops up telling me he's going to give me my ideal, perfect client, that's the client I ask him for.

Yep the golden ticket is a client who appreciates your services and understands the value you deliver. A natural response for that business owner is to refer to other business owners in his/her circle and your business can then grow

My great client is: pay on time, buy many product and become an affiliate for me
