It&#8217;s not just about onboarding but also about ensuring the client and the business are a good fit.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>The Importance of Building Rapport:<\/strong>&nbsp;The initial minutes of the call should be about making the client comfortable. This can be achieved by discussing mutual interests or sharing personal experiences.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Setting Expectations:<\/strong>&nbsp;Clearly communicate the purpose of the call. Ensure the client understands that this isn&#8217;t a sales pitch but a genuine attempt to understand their needs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Establishing Goals:<\/strong>&nbsp;Andrew highlights the significance of understanding the client&#8217;s goals. This helps in determining if you can assist them in achieving those goals.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Priority Scale:<\/strong>&nbsp;James introduces a unique approach to understanding the client&#8217;s motivation. Instead of asking why they rated their priority at a certain number, ask why it wasn&#8217;t lower. This can lead to deeper insights into their motivations.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Websites and Links Mentioned:<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/strengthmatters.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Strength Matters<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>A strategy call is one of the best ways to onboard people and to make sure that a fit or not a fit in terms of your business.<\/p>\n<cite>James Breese<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>The strategy call is a short call, you&#8217;re just finding out the key details to make sure they&#8217;re a fit or not a fit moving forward.<\/p>\n<cite>Andrew Wallis<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h5 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Show Your Support: Rate and Review Us!<\/strong><\/h5>\n\n\n\n<p>If you enjoyed today\u2019s episode, please consider giving us a 5-star rating and a review on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/gb\/podcast\/strength-matters\/id892406366\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Apple Podcasts<\/strong><\/a>&nbsp;or wherever you listen to podcasts.
