What Does WIIFM Mean?
People want to know how you can help them, what service(s) you provide, what your hours are, etc .
Contrary to popular opinion your potential & existing clients don’t spend hours or even minutes searching for information.
And initially don’t care about you (or me), the owner or the business!
A potential client is searching for a solution to a problem, not your resume! Solution First, Resume/Details Second.
Some professionals put their whole life story on-line in the beginning (Doctors, Lawyers, Accountants for example).
You need to do this at some point.
Initially though you need to gain a potential clients attention.
Don’t get me wrong, you need detailed information.
But, first, you need to gain your clients attention.
I’m talking about:
- Having your information visible by directing a potential client to your information using the Foot In The Door Advertising technique by answering the question WIIFM!
- Having your information point outwards and not about you. People are looking for solutions not how great we are.
- Having a web-site that tells people what you do.
- Here’s an example, the home page to this site, These “mini” sites load quickly, contain all your information and can point to a more detailed site if you have one.
- This method has two uses, point to a more detailed site or use as your site.
This is what WIIFM does!
