One Word to Win Clients: The Power of a Name
Today, I want to share with you one tiny but mighty tip from my eBook, Client Conversion Countdown, that can help you connect with potential clients right from the get-go: using their name.
Sounds simple, right? But trust me, this little tweak can make a world of difference when you’re trying to turn a potential client into a booked client. Let’s dive into why this works so well and how you can start using it today.
Why a Name Matters
Think back to your days in nursing — what’s one of the first things we learned? Always check the patient’s name before administering any care. It’s a basic practice that ensures safety and builds trust. In your business, using a client’s name during your first interaction does something similar. It makes them feel recognized and valued, which is exactly what you want when you’re trying to build a relationship with them.
According to research, hearing our own name activates different parts of our brain associated with identity and personal connection. When you greet a potential client by their name, you’re not just being polite — you’re creating an instant connection that says, “Hey, I see you. You’re important to me.”
How to Nail the Greeting
Now that you know why it’s important, let’s talk about how to do it right. Here’s a little script you can use during your first meeting or call:
“It’s so great to meet you, [Name]! Did I pronounce that correctly? I’m [Your Name], the owner of [Your Business], and I’m really looking forward to learning more about how I can help you with [their specific need].”
This small but powerful greeting does three things:
Shows You Care: By confirming the pronunciation of their name, you show that you’re paying attention and care about getting it right.
Establishes Credibility: Introducing yourself and your business in the same breath helps establish your authority right from the start.
Personalizes the Interaction: Mentioning their specific need lets them know you’re not just going through the motions—you’re here to help with their unique situation.
The Ripple Effect
Starting your conversation with a personalized greeting sets the tone for the entire interaction. It helps you build rapport faster, makes the client feel more at ease, and paves the way for a more open and honest discussion about how you can help them. And when a potential client feels comfortable with you, they’re much more likely to trust you with their business.
