147: What Clarity & Unique Value Can Do For Client Retention w/ Diana Castro
In this gig-based business, it often feels like we’re jumping from one job to the next just to keep afloat. But what if there was a system you could put in place that would eliminate this urgency? Today’s guest has figured this out by discovering her unique value and it has given her the clarity needed to find and keep the right clients coming back over and over again.
Diana Castro is the Co-Founder of ForProductions, a small but powerful video production company. She’s focused on working with leaders and changemakers who are serious about making an impact by reaching thousands with the power of video.
Today, Diana shares her company’s journey into discovering what it is they can offer that truly helps her clients. She’s built a system into her business so that her clients have a program that gives her repeat business. This saves her from constantly chasing down the next job as soon as the last one is finished. We also discuss how finding your tribe will not only give you clarity on running your business but will also help you identify who you can best serve.
When you know your value and who you serve best, you gain the confidence to do the work that’s best for you. Diana describes how this knowledge has helped her in numerous ways. From making connections with would-be competitors to creating personally meaningful videos, the payoffs have been huge.
