This is More Important Than Qualifying Prospects…

attorney

I work with an attorney who attracts prospects with webinars and converts them to clients with complimentary consultations. Good strategy.

But there’s one problem: Her calendar is filled with tire-kickers who ask her for piles of free advice, discounted services, and other profit-crushing gifts.

The solution: Weed out the tire-kickers before they book a consultation.

Marketers talk often about “qualifying prospects.” Important, yes.

But more important? Disqualifying suspects.

The attorney now requires prospects to complete a survey to book a consultation.

The survey includes disqualifying questions, such as whether the prospect is prepared to invest at least “$n” for her services.

Most suspects will quit the survey when they see the disqualifying questions.

If a suspect slips through and books an appointment, the attorney can reach out before the scheduled date, say she’s not a great fit, and suggest alternatives that better fit the suspect’s needs.

No more time-sucking, profit-crushing meetings with tire-kicking, freebie-seeking suspects.

Do you have ways to disqualify suspects? Reply and let me know how you do it.
