What To Do To Give Referrals: Get A Sub

Every business needs width, for stability, and depth for competitive advantage.

  • Tell us where your business is wide – where do you serve a wide variety of clients?

Then tell us where your niche is, where you go deep with value because you know this type of client very well.

Minijobs specializes in small home repair jobs, for we fix walls , doors ceilimgs and floors.

Once we get into a job most people add "can you do this also?"and we try to do it on the spot... or set another time after it is estimated.

We are particullarly fond of doing jobs that require a creative answer; as, curbless shower, so G'ma will not have to hop over the tub side, or a linear drain to control the water flow.

Depth: is solving a water intrusion problem. We cannot see where it starts and we need to find this source... so we spray the area with a hose. Once the leak starts ... we can then pinpoint it and make the appropriate repair

My residential real estate business is wide in regards to the price range and area around Atlanta that I do business.  I work in all price ranges and areas with both buyers and sellers.  I provide top service and advice for all clients but the niche that I really excel in is during a sell and buy transaction.  After an event happens in people's lives many times they have to sell one home and buy a replacement home.   Double transactions take additional care and planning whether it is up sizing or down sizing their home, detailed coordination is essential to keep the stress levels in check.

As a photographer, over the years, I have been narrowing down my niche. I have done corporate events, birthday parties, baptism, and other special events. These all dealt with families in some form or fashion. In the last several years, I have narrowed down my niche to focus on women, branding/headshots, and seasonaly my Visits with Santa. 

Women have a story to tell - about themselves and their lives. What I love to do is to capture her in a way that she doesn't see herself; capturing her beauty and essence that can be seen in a photograph. The photograph tells her story almost without words, and can feel the emotion that comes from the image. In the last year, I worked on a 40 over 40 campaign where I photographed women over 40. What an awesome project (which I will do again!). The women I met were compelling with their stories and they were captured in photographs. From the woman who lost her feet due to a massive heart attack. The woman who is a five year cancer warrior. The woman who survived a massive brain injury from a car accident who went thru a divorce after the accident. The woman who owns her construction company. The woman who was in corporate American and on a dare, took the LSAT for law school and now owns her own law firm. There is so much more. These women are each warriors in their own way. And I resonate with them.

Most IT companies want a minimal monthly charge before you become a customer. I support a wide variety of customers of all sizes and do my best to support those clients within the budgetary constraints they set. The Small Office and Home Office customer is served well because we watch the bottom line and provide the best outcome.

My business goes wide in terms of the real estate services we provide.  We handle residential and commercial closings, preparation of deeds, drafting of loan documents and mortgages when the transaction does not involve a bank, drafting real estate contracts, drafting easements, fixing title issues that a property may have, and we review and give advice on all types of real estate documents.  We go deep with value with customer service.  We try to anticipate all issues that could come up in a particular closing, and then do everything we can do address those issues in advance so that the closing starts and ends on time, and is a smooth transaction.

We serve a wide variety of entreprenours and small to medium size business owners in numerous industries.  

We differentiate from the traditional tax only preparer CPA, in that we work with our client through-out the year and help them use their financials not only for taxes, but to actually run their business "on the numbers" to make better decisions.  This leads to better tax numbers because the business owner is equiped to better understand how their decisions throughout the year will generate or resolve taxation.  This also lets us have much more indepth knowledge of our client's situation, which in turn, allows us to provide better and more timely advice.

As far as width goes, I do serve a wide variety of clients and locations. 

44% have been people over 50 selling a home.  All but two of those clients owned their home 16 year or more before they sold the house.

32% have been first time homebuyers. 

24% are families with children home buying and selling their 2nd, 3rd or 4th home.

Where I go deep with value is the homeowner who wants to sell and who has been living in their house between 16 and 30 years.  From my own experience with my dad.  From earning my senior real estate special designation. From working with my senior clients, I know the overwhelm that comes from preparing to sell and I have resources and expertise to help those clients get through the process with dignity, grace, and a lot of emotional support.

Zac Gresham State Farm serves a variety of clients with their insurane and financial services needs through the many products that we available - Car, Motorcycle, Home, Renters, Life, Health, Liability, Personal Articles, Recreational Vehicle, or Pet Insurance.  Where we differ from other agents is our system.  We have a conversation with the customer to understand their current situation.  We like to gain a clear understanding of what assets and income they need to protect from the unexpected of every day life to allow them to continue achieving their financial goals with the peace of mind knowing they are covered.  We really excel with those friends or family members making big changes in life such as getting engaged/ married, buying a home, or having a baby.  Anytime someone is making that change in life, we provide solid ground for them to stand on.

My photography business is wide in that I can shoot a wide variety of subjects but I specialize in people; with a niche in storytelling corporate images. I know how to add value to the assignment because I go deep in capturing the emotion of the employees at an event or meeting. My client may be the corporate marketing and communication manager, employee relations manager, or event manager and they rely on me to make them look good, to show that their organization cares about its employees and wants to make a difference in the world around them. I shoot the setting and mood, details, grip and grins, I also watch and search for the emotions behind the eyes of those in attendance so that the viewer feels what the event was meant for, feels as if they too were there, feels the organization caring about it's employees, cares about the world and makes a difference. 

Jinnie Schmid

Response from Jinnie Schmid

My business is "wide" because as a Professional Certified Coach (PCC, per International Coach Federation) I am trained to listen deeply and ask deep questions, which allows me to support anyone who could use help to think through any problem. I created a funny saying that describes what it means to be a Coach to my clients:  "I don't have to know any of the answer, and you have to do all the work!" It sounds counterintuitive, but it accurately describes the coach role of being a "guide on the side" and NOT a "sage on the stage." 

My business is "deep" because my favorite place to apply my coaching skills is to support women leaders who are struggling with change, loss or grief...and realize that they have too much at stake to stay stuck. I know this client well because I was one myself about 10 years ago! I was lucky enough to discover The Grief Recovery Method and it made such a positive impact on my life - including healing of my broken heart, but also way beyond that - that I got excited about bringing it to others through my coaching practice.
