Too Many Choices!

One of the mistakes I see many service professionals make when marketing their business is offering too many choices. It turns out that our customers are actually less likely to buy if we don't limit their options. This is partially due to basic psychology. When someone approaches you for your service and expertise, they don't want you to offer them five choices; they want you to tell them exactly what they should do (without being a jerk about it, of course!).

A study recently published in Psychology & Marketing reviews the trouble with choices.

Working From Home - Choices

















Some days it feels like there are just so many choices to make!

Some of the 5,000 choices for me yesterday included unloading the dishwasher (which I absolutely HATE doing, but it's a good excuse for not filing paperwork!), filing paperwork, writing a marketing plan for one of my clients, and sitting on the couch, daydreaming.

Hmmm... the joys of working from home.
