By Annie Jennings

Here's how to edge your competitors when you don't have a lot of money to spending on marketing. Sometimes consultants and business professionals who run small businesses do not have to spend a lot of money to edge out their competitors. These consultants and businesses have to go the 'extra mile' in branding and marketing to excel in their areas. The first element of success is to be visible to their targeted business community and offer expanded value with guaranteed deliverables.

It's about creating a domino effect. Offer products and services that tap into the exact needs of your target client. Offer services that your target businesses can use to create success for themselves and their clients. This way, you become important to your target clients success.

Your target clients want to do business with consultants and businesses that are CENTER STAGE, that is, they are in the center of action commenting on the issues facing their industry. Professionals and consultants should seek out opportunities to be the quoted or commenting expert seen on, heard on or read about in Radio, TV, Print, Magazine and Internet Sites. Clients like to do business with people they feel are vital, creative, strong and engaged in their industry with plenty of energy to produce outcomes for them.

Make a difference in the lives of your clients. Teach them what they need to know to excel using your products and services. This way, your business becomes an investment for them in that they expect to earn a return on their purchase with your company. Also, by actively engaging in your client's success, you fuel your creativity to build new products and services that truly meet the needs of your marketplace and avoid the products and services that lead to nowhere.

Once you become invested in the success of your client you are motivated and inspired to create better, higher performance products and strategies to help your clients succeed. Make it your business that your clients are successful and you will be too. Consultants and business professionals are encouraged to understand how their products are services fuel their client's growth and income, evaluate how their firm helps clients be more competitive and prosperous while also understanding the value of selling outcomes that leads to enhanced market share for your client.
