Great list Matt, thanks. Funnily enough both companies I'm in talks with currently are on your list (architect + driveways installer). It's so much more enjoyable and rewarding working with companies who can afford your services and value them. Plus when you charge more you can really get stuck into the project without the nagging worry you get on smaller jobs of knowing you need to find another one quick to keep afloat.

Nice adds. Loft coversions would fall under property developers here in the US, but I'm in agreement 100% that they're a good industry to target.

That's awesome. I love working with Architects, they've got deep pockets for effective advertising.

I never considered the Senior Living niche. Nice work on the contract though.

I was just telling my wife about those. What a gig. They're sold like a condo and in a few years when the senior passes away the contract had them revert back to the facility so they can resell them.

Most businesses in the industrial and manufacturing
sector are charging in the tens of thousands, hundreds
of thousands or more for one contract.

And very few marketers, if any, ever approach them.

If you take a walk around the industrial area in your city
and look for businesses that are buzzing with activity
that's a good start.

You'll also be amazed how many business types there are
you've never heard of.

So true. Just drive around the industrial part of the city and look for large buildings with loading docks and tractor trailers backed up to them. You can Google search them to find out what they do. They are either distributing products or manufacturing it. Either way, with small companies in the range of 50 to 500 employees, they are looking for more sales. You won't have a problem with too many people that say they are just killing it in today's economy and are turning away large contracts. While they may be good at their business and good at selling, there's a chance that they are weak at marketing it. The poor dentist gets overwhelmed by marketers, while the big fish are left alone.

I was going to mention those two as well. Very often overlooked and like you said, very few marketers reach out to them. It's easy to charge them $3 - $5k/mo retainer when one contract for them can pay for your services.

The most effective ways to get high paying clients
are usually:

# Being referred to them by someone they know and
trust. If you're smart you can engineer this and it's a
strategy you should always be thinking of first because
it requires no real ongoing cost and is so effective at
positioning you as an expert who can help them.

# Innovative direct mail with multiple contacts.

This takes some skill at writing copy or hiring a
copywriter. It's often the most effective if you want
prospects coming to you who are positioned to see
you as an expert and often ready to hire you.

With direct mail you can scale up quickly too once
you have a process that's profitable.

# Going and talking to them. It really can be that
simple.

Be aware that in the industrial sector many of the
managers and owners you'll talk to are rough around
the edges and they're going to treat you with a certain
level of suspicion or even be plain rude in that first
contact.

If you stay cool and demonstrate that you're really
interested in helping them they'll quickly warm to you
though.

It's that tough exterior that makes them really
valuable contacts once you get through it.

Referrals from people like this are HIGHLY valuable.

You certainly could do cold calling and really in this
type of market if you're offering something different
that can bring in business for them you'll find a lot
of people willing to sit down and talk with you for
10 minutes.

More important than anything is to just take some
action and get in contact with them in some way.

That will get things moving for you and you can learn
and adjust as you go.

It's hard to steer a car that's not moving.

Andrew Cavanagh

Yes, that is my question too. My experience with cold calling is you get some underling who has instructions to get rid of sales people. How you get through to a decision maker on the phone, I don't know.

Some earlier said referrals is the best way. Therefore networking is the best way. This can be done in person by joining groups like Chamber of Commerce, or online by joining one of the many online services.

Isn't it better to find businesses that are spending money on marketing instead of a list of high revenue businesses?

I've answered this before. Look in this thread: http://www.warriorforum.com/offline-...per-click.html

But specifically:

So my funnel looked something like this:
1. Identify targets.
2. Send Fed ex package sales letter
3. Telemarketer tries to schedule phone appointment
4. Send endorsed letter.
5. Have endorsed phone call
6. Schedule Phone appointment
7. Drip case studies
8. About once a month have a telemarketer call and schedule phone consultation.
9. Don't stop until they beg you to stop or do business with you.

I've mailed prepaid phones, DVD players with a personalized DVD ready to play. I've done about everything to get my ideal client.

How to sell them, get them to be interested in your services?

Now this is extremely important, so I want you to get this. It's not my job to "sell them", to get them to be interested in my services. It's about giving them what they want and need. It's about listening. It's about building rapport. It's about talking in their language. It's about giving enough of yourself so that they will give you five minutes of their time so that you can put a win/win proposal to them. When I'm outwardly focused, when I'm intently listening to them, and not trying to find time to present my "sales pitch", then I'm much more successful. Sometimes I meet business owners who really don't need what I offer, so then I listen even more closely. I try to find out what makes them different. I probably know someone who can give them what they need. And this is the crazy thing, when you really listen, when you really attempt to understand, it's amazing how often what you "do" fits into what they need.

I'll tell you though, the magic is when in every fiber of your being you focus on your clients, you focus on their happiness, their success, their growth, it's like magic. Now with that said, you always have to demand your own value as well. But it's easier to ask for your own value when you have so massively valued them by listening, and caring. It's classic Jay Abraham and the Strategy of Preeminence. And everyone of us should be embracing it.

Jay Abraham - Advanced Strategy of Preeminence - YouTube

Do you see the difference? Try it right now. Go talk to your partner or best friend. And really, really focus on them. Focus on what they are saying. Focus on how you can make them feel fulfilled, loved, appreciated, needed, happy, whatever it is they desire. Don't think about yourself for a moment. You need that level of commitment to your clients. People in general are fantastic BS detectors. They get it when you're not being genuine and when you care more about your agenda than theirs.

I tell you that I typically don't go into a business field blind. I take the time to understand it. I take the time to learn their language. Their worries, their fears, their concerns, how the marketplace works, etc. I'm kind of neurotic about researching any field I'm doing business with. I have some fantastic researchers on oDesk who are constantly doing my work of finding these things out. Because I've done my homework, I know that what I'm offering is going to appeal to 90% of the business owners that I talk to. I know they are in a position to buy because I did my homework first and researched their company before I started marketing to them.

And here is the real key my friend. When I understand them, when I care about them, when I understand them. AND I have built a platform in which they can have an abundance of happiness, wealth and prosperity. With complete integrity I can "sell" them what I have to offer because I care about them, and I know they are hundreds of times better off doing business with me than without me. If they don't do business with me, that's a failure on my part. It's not being pushy it's about having the integrity to only offer what's best for your clients and being willing to do the hard work to help them achieve what they need and want.

So the keys are:
1. Right Market(do your research first)
2. Right Approach(outwardly focused not results focused)
3. Right Product(Only offer what causes them to have massive success)
4. Right Commitment(Commit to always put your clients first, deliver what you promise)

Chet Holmes has some very good information on that. Jason Kanigan right here on the forum had a pretty good Ari Galper type script. One of the best things I ever did was Fedex a prepaid cell phone with my phone number in the phone. Cost about $30 total, but well worth it.

It's all about the campaign. If you're persistent enough, and if you have complete integrity in all that you do and say that what you offer is going to be of more benefit to them than it is to you, you can talk to almost anyone you want to.

So how about those that look at £1k client per month as small change?

Local airlines
Telecoms companies
Angel Investment Agencies
Marble Flooring Fitters
Online Pharmacies
Corporate Interior Design Agencies
etc etc

All of these industries can afford to pay you in excess of £10,000, put that in your pipe and smoke it.

It takes a little more work to get them as clients, and you have to jump through a few hoops but in the end if you prove to them beyond reasonable doubt that you can make them more money than they are paying you then you'll be good, it's worth £10,000 of their money just to see if what you're offering them will work!

Also I have a few elderly care home clients, great advice, these guys are rolling in it!

Yeah that's exactly what they are, theses businesses will pay you 10k for your services to help them get more business as rather than earning 1k per new client, they earn 10.

The key thing with these types of businesses is that they rarely get approached as they are perceived as too big/ people don't think about them.

This list is generated from my past and current client list.

You only have to increase their sales by a few each month and you provide them a great ROI.

  Got quoted $10,000 to remove existing driveway and install new. Landscaper charged me $7K for set up and $1134/year to maintain. Cheapest landscape quote $2500... most expensive $12,000. One stupid 2-inch-thick trunk tree cost me $300.
  
  Once upon a time, in a different life, my real estate appraisal company made $18,000/month from one client. And as little as $300/month from one client. So, if you hook up a real estate appraisal with the right divorce attorney outfit or the right property tax attorney... they could make thousands (from one client a month with several jobs/orders.
  
  Commercial appraisers in this area charge from $1,100 and up an appraisal. Find them an outfit (attorneys, investors, etc.) that need one or more appraisals a month...
  
  Wedding planners and bridal shops... Someone I know sells in one of those shops. Average dress she sells is $4k... Most expensive she personally sold was $14,000. Most are in the $3-6k range... and, of course, what's a wedding dress without all the other (expensive) things that go with one.
  
  Mortgage processing service companies... I just looked at a couple. They charge $500 to process 1 loan. Lots of loan officers/brokers get 2-4 loans a month. Trick is to convince them not to process themselves... or inhouse (inhouse cost seems to be about the same... $400-450). With these and appraisers... the relationships last years... One new client can bring in tens of thousands over several years.
  
  My appraising company's 1st client put an average of $3k a month for 9 years into our coffers. Back then I was offering people subcontracting from me 10% of gross for as long as the client stayed with me. And if they worked on the order, they got paid the usual fee on top of the 10%. Oddly enough, none of them brought me any client.
  
  SEO companies
  Internet marketing companies
  Web designers
  Video- and photographers (weddings).
  Caterers (Know one who charges $35-65/person... Last party he did had 212 people in attendance, at $39... Previous one had 150 peeps at $45... He complained... He bought too much beef... Was left with too much of it... But that's another story.)

If that's what they need. Maybe they need help with marketing. Maybe they need help with both.

If you know how to get them something they need, you go after them. How do you know what to give them? You figure out what you / your team do well, then go after the ones that need one or more of the things you you / your team can deliver.

Interesting thread.

Most of what I'm seeing in those lists is services, ie., dentists, pavers, designers, etc.. And driving around the industrial part of town could uncover some fairly untapped industries. So my question is, how would you market to industrial suppliers or distributors or "those buzzing with activities?? If they are a manufacturer or a wholesaler, how to market to them?

Perhaps even a bigger question is how in the world would you get them customers after you bring them on board? How would you fulfill?

For instance, looking around my town I see an industrial supplier. They are an authorized vendor for a range of industrial products (and companies who manufacture them) anywhere from industrial cranes to matting to shelving and much much more. It's a no-name, Grainger-type of company. Is it merely an e-commerce SEO issue, ie., treating it like you would SEO since they are products, or perhaps they're looking for entire stores to carry 50-5000 of their products instead of onesies and twosies? Or both?

So, while they probably don't have a lot of IMers approaching them, they still need business like the dentists and general contractors. Thanks for input as I try to wrap my mind around a different marketing mindset.

I think with those it's more a focus on BRANDING and using the Internet to improve customer communication and support.

Focus on getting their brand recognized as the "To Go" guy's for X niche what not necessarily has a lot to do with keywords people search online.

Great Video Marketing and Social Integration would be the key here IMO.

Like B2C clients, you'll benefit when approaching industrial clients by staying within a niche. For me, it's often software sales. That way, you already know many of their common needs, issues and hot buttons. You'll find that you speak with more authority and conviction with new clients due to your record of success with that niche.

Cold-walking a variety of clients in an industrial park removes some of that advantage. But I'm not knocking it. It's a good way to see what is happening in your community and find lucrative new business categories you didn't know about. Plus it is a lot of fun if you approach it right.

In terms of what to sell them, I would lead with one service and use that as a way to get them to open up about what they really need. With a few minutes open last week, I cold called a software firm about creating white papers for them. It turned out their email copywriter had just left and that is the service they really needed. It may be a very lucrative account over time. You won't find this stuff out until you get in a conversation with them.

At the same time, the old "consultative sell" you learned years ago is on the wane ("I just want to sit down and find out about your business and see where we can benefit you"). People don't have time to sit and answer 150 questions anymore. Come in with a value proposition that you know you can deliver, get them to open up, and close them on your initial offer or something they desperately need. Then build on the relationship, and look for more areas you can help them with.

Google exhibitor list and you'll see the manufacturers and distribitors
in all sorts of industries behind the scenes.

Here's 3 examples...

http://www.pacificmarineexpo.com/en/exhibitor

Imaging USA 2013: Exhibitor List

https://audiofest.net/new/americas-a...13-exhibitors/

These companies that attend trade shows,
mostly sell to other businesses and a customer has a higher lifetime value
than the consumer market in most cases.

Plus they don't get marketed to as much as those that sell to consumers.

Google trade show exhibitors and a whole new world will open up to you.

Think Tony Robbins not the lady I met some 10 years ago who charged $50/hour. If you don't want Tony Robbins, think about a guy I met 7 years ago. He had classes that cost $1,200 to attend (all day long things) and he had 10 -15 people in the class... You could buy a suite of 7 classes for $5500, if I remember correctly.

Definitely agree about going to business expos- also general networking groups.
I've been speaking to a coupe of people this weekend and they both are very successful in their own businesses (property and real estate)
The issue is not whether a company has money (not the only issue), but whether the key decision makers have someone they can trust- that comes with being in front of them and just telling them how it is.
I think it's rare that someone intelligent enough to run or own a successful offline company would hand over 1000+ dollars to an anonymous person on the internet running Facebook ads etc.
It happens (I know first hand) but these businesses get tons of the same emails everyday so the only way to stand out is by talking to them in person.

I think it's the wrong question, although it's close. It's not enough to just target companies with large transaction values. Isn't it better to target larger companies period? I posted this earlier this week:

It's really not that hard. There are multiple ways to get this information. For me I typically use InfoUsa and just buy a list. I can choose almost anything. For instance a list I pulled yesterday found phone numbers and email addresses of companies in a certain niche that have between 10-19 employees and had sales between 1-5 million, and had been in business over 10 years and found 1,240 of those leads. It costs me $458 for that list. But these are my IDEAL clients. It comes with the following information:

Company name
Address
Contact name
Title
Contact gender
Line of business (SIC Code)
Metro area
Carrier route
Delivery point bar code
Phone number
Website address
Employee size
Sales volume
Credit rating score
Office size
Square footage
Number of PCs
HQ/branch
Public/private
Franchise
Yellow Page ad size

If you don't want to pay for a list, then you can choose to use Reference USA which you can find in any major library. You can find most of this information for free there. It's an awesome resource.

You can also find quite a bit of information on industries by getting the RMA book. The RMA(Risk Management Association) puts out a yearly book called the Annual Statement Studies. You can find out broad strokes about the industry by looking at them by SIC code. You can find out generally speaking how much income each company makes and from that come up with rules of thumb. It's interesting when you talk to a business owner and you ask an innocuous question like how many employees do you have? They give that information quite readily- 12. And you tell them so you probably gross Between $900k and $1.4k and you most likely take home between $50k and $200k. Because you end up with these rules of thumbs of an average employee in these industries bring in between $80-110k of revenue, and the business makes between 5-15% profit.

You can also get these numbers pretty easily by getting on the buyers lists for business brokers. You can call up a business broker and say I want to buy a kitchen remodeling business anywhere in the Northeast, can you send me some listings, and they will send you a ton of information and you can find out about businesses in the industry pretty easily. You will be able to compile your own data of revenue vs employees vs profit.

And finally you can just call businesses in the industry and make a survey. Some will tell you, some won't. You can ballpark it. "John thanks for taking my call we just have a quick survey for the industry if you don't mind. How many employees do you have? 10? Very good. So that means you're probably right around $1M gross revenue, is that about right? Oh really you're doing $1.5M, that's awesome. So for companies in your industry that make around $1.5M they make between $75k and $300k in net profit. Would you classify yourself as less than $100k between $100-150k, $150k-200k or $200k or more?" Now some will answers others won't. But you'll get enough to know what to expect.

Given how easy it is to find this information. There is no chance that I'm going to ever target a company that doesn't meet *MY* criteria.

I'd argue it's not just about transaction size but being able to find businesses in your location that are large enough to need your help. In the Atlanta area there are 50,000 businesses over $1M in revenue. It's just a matter of drilling down until you find some niches that work for you.

This post was from last year and I still love it !!! Here is the problem that I have run into over the years. You can only take on so many $1,000 per month clients before you have to outsource most the work or become a small or large agency to handle the work load.
I chose a 3rd option, raise my prices, high end consulting to business owners $2K-$4K per month, they handle all the fulfillment. Boom !!! Been going really well, just need the right approach to find the right companies and decision makers. :-)

This thread isn't about taking on $1000 clients, it's about targeting prospects that MAKE over $1000 per sale typically. Charge whatever you're worth

I'm totally with you on charging more $$$ I only have a handful of clients, I can count them all on my fingers, and a few toes, but most range well over $1000 per month.

Thats a good list in the OP. I especially liked the architects.

I have a good story, I was a drafter at a one man architecture firm years ago. I had been there about 7 months when the architect told me he was running out of projects and was going to have to lay me off in a month. My wife and I just had a child so I was really scared.

I found out about a city program (Heres a tip - This is still in effect in many US cities, you can do this now) where the city would match federal grant money up to $10,000 for facad improvements for businesses located in what was classified as a redevelopment zone. This was free money that none of these business owners knew about. So I went out at lunch and on Saturdays and by the end of the month I had signed up five businesses and one for a complete tenant improvement.

I saved my job but ended up realizing drafting was the wrong career.

In Chicago, those programs are called TIF (don't know what they stand for) and you find out about them from Aldermen.

I never noticed this thread on here until now. I agree with guy on here. The goal is to make these people the "The Go-To" person in their niche and in their location. The goal isn't just to get them traffic online or anything, but to help them grow online and achieve more recognition online.

I have targeted a lot of these people, and it's true....it's great knowing that they have the money to afford even the most expensive services.

Thanks

Think of the delivery vans and trucks at the back door of retail food businesses.

The meat
flour
cooking oil
fruit
veges
buns
sauces
frozen fries
spreads
tinfoil
cleaning fluids
paper cups, plates and food holders for takeout
plastic bags
paper receipt rolls

and the list goes on.

Those supply companies clients are worth thousands.

Because they are behind the scenes, internet marketers
miss them.

Best,
Ewen

Just sorted out a couple more deals this week and this thread jumped to mind as I got a look into their PPC accounts and saw their conversion costs and know what their sales points are:
We buy any car type services (client types in registration number and is given a value for their car) avergae profit £900 per car
Scrap metal (buying cars and selling them for scrap) average profit £700 per car
Wood burning stoves (these guys are absolutely raking it in) average profit £1400 per client

Selling these guys PPC where you can almost guarantee improved sales is ridulously easy.

Thanks

Generally it could be a huge number of professions - if you can get to the top of the game then you can charge any price and some rich dude will pay it. If you're an electrician and a billionaire needs his home re-wired, he will pay for the best.
