Unlocking Wallet Share: Transforming Your Client/Customer Spending
Coach Marlene Powell
August 5, 2024
For many business owners, the belief is that substantial growth means constantly chasing new clients or customers. Rather, what if the key to significant growth lies within a business’s existing client base?
By maximising Wallet Share, which is the focus on increasing how much each client or customer spends with your business, you can achieve impressive profits without the constant pressure of seeking new business.
Discover Your Most Valuable Clients/Customers
The journey begins with identifying which clients or customers are your biggest contributors to your bottom line. Sometimes, this process can be eye opening, revealing that some clients who demand the most time and resources are not the most profitable.
Time is a precious resource for any business owner and their business, and it is easy to overlook how much of it goes into tasks like proposal preparation or client management. By analysing your clients' spending patterns and looking at factors like the number of transactions and their average spend with your business, you will be able to get a clearer picture of who is truly driving your success. This analysis helps you see who your most valuable clients are and where there is potential to increase their spending with you.
Embrace the 80/20 Rule
One of the most effective strategies to boost Wallet Share is applying the 80/20 rule. Focus on the 20% of clients who contribute to 80% of your profits. Engaging with these key clients allows you to have a better understanding of their needs and to explore opportunities to offer additional products or services they might not yet be aware you offer.
Often, we assume that our clients know all about our offerings. However, they may be spending elsewhere simply because they are not aware of what we provide. By enhancing your relationship with these top clients and introducing them to more of what you offer, you can significantly increase their spending and, in turn, your profitability.
Unleash Your Untapped Potential
From my experience as a Business Coach, I have seen this approach lead to profit increases of over 700% for some of my clients. Imagine the untapped potential lying just beneath the surface of your business, ready to be unlocked.
By engaging more deeply with your most valuable clients and asking the right questions, you can uncover new growth opportunities. Since these clients value your work, they are more likely to be open to additional services and products. In addition, do not forget, that happy clients are often more than willing to refer others, helping you grow your client base organically.
