Attract the Right Job or Clientele:

Research Is Vital for Decision Making and Business Growth

An unexpected phone call came my way. The caller relayed that my work had been improperly stolen and that I needed to sue the company that did it. It was obvious to me that the caller was the one doing the improper work. I ended the call as quickly as possible; however, I did my research on the back end. 

A technical person advised long ago that if I need an answer to just about anything, I should do a Google search, and that’s precisely what I did. Thankfully, everything appears to be legitimate. Today’s ‘episode’ has me sharing ideas for all types of businesses. We must embrace the fact that research is vital for decision making and business growth.

Research Is Vital 

Contact Knowledgeable Peers

After researching, I connected with the person who initially helped me in the early phase of entrepreneurship. She confirmed what I read online, and then we caught up on our news. Remaining in contact with those who originally helped us is wise as they continue to provide updates in their specific areas of business, make themselves available to answer questions, and potentially assist further.

Be the Detective

Professionalism on every level is vital for conducting more business and ultimately enjoying a returning and referring clientele. Accordingly, research on every level is critical before every conversation. Upfront, we must admit to what we don’t know and on which we can use more insight to have an intelligent conversation. 

Accordingly, online research and asking questions of knowledgeable peers add much value to the forthcoming conversations. And when we are just getting started or our knowledge is a completely blank page, it’s wise to take a class or two to improve. People expect those conducting business to be savvy during the conversations, and we must live up to expectations. 

Conducive Meetings

When actual appointments occur, it’s best not to come across as an authoritarian ‘know-it-all,’ but to reveal what was read and ask the prospective client if they agree, had a similar experience, or disagreed; if so, ask, ‘why?’ 

The inviting conversational style encourages a more open conversation and the sharing of typically hidden facts. This more open style motivates and encourages prospects to officially agree to doing business.

The Last Conversation Before the Sale

Thank the person or people who shared specific information with you and let them know that you spent more time doing your research. That makes it the perfect time to ask more profound questions and potentially uncover a more significant need on their part. Accordingly, the value of the sale will expand, and sometimes go beyond the initial indication of their budget.

Research Never Ends

Research is always necessary during the sale and afterwards to remain current with the applicable news and what is transpiring with your clientele. After realizing a change in technology or your client’s industry, it’s wise to check in to inquire how things are going and whether they might want to discuss updates. The follow-up conversations will also keep you better informed.

Conclusion: Research Is Vital for Decision-Making and Business Growth

Our work never ends until we quit to try something new. However, we typically remember all the lessons we learn along our career path. Most of all, we realize that research and in-depth conversations with clientele or potential employers are the differentiators for ongoing success.
