But who was the real Horse Whisperer?<br \/><br \/>&#8220;The one who truly inspired me was Buck Brannaman. His skill, understanding and his gentle, loving heart have parted the clouds for countless troubled creatures. Buck is the Zen master of the horse world&#8221; says Evans.<br \/><br \/>So how does he do it? How does he manage to communicate to horses in a manner that they can understand? How does he get horses to eat out of his hand?<br \/><br \/>Like any skilled coach, the first step is to listen. Really listen.<br \/><br \/>If you want clients to &#8220;eat out of your hand&#8221; you need to communicate to them in the language they use. This means taking what they say and incorporating it into your web copy, your Noomii profile, your blog posts, and any other form of client-centric communication.<br \/><br \/>For example:<br \/><ul><li>Loretta in Portland OR doesn&#8217;t want radical life transformation. She wants to &#8220;develop a plan with clear, concise, achievable goals to improve every facet of my life: financially, emotionally, and professionally&#8221;<\/li><li>Monique in Atlanta doesn&#8217;t want relationship coaching. She wants to &#8220;develop a better understanding of myself and the most important attributes that I should be looking for in a partner.&#8221;<\/li><\/ul>So if you want to be the &#8220;Zen master of the client attraction world&#8221;, do these four things:<br \/><ol><li>Check out the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.noomii.com\/client-leads\" title=\"Clients Requesting a Coach Referral in the Last 7 Days\">Noomii daily leads<\/a><\/li><li>Comb through the available leads and find five leads that strongly appeal to you and the services you offer<\/li><li>Identify 2 or 3 common challenges and goals they\u00c3\u201a\u00c2\u00a0describe<\/li><li>Incorporate their <em>exact words<\/em> into your Noomii profile (and ultimately everywhere else that you have client-focused communication)<\/li><\/ol>If Loretta from Portland OR is your ideal client, write something like this:<br \/><blockquote>&#8220;Want a better career? Looking for a step-by-step system and structure for achieving it? I help my clients develop a career and life plan that has clear, concise, and achievable goals. Start today!&#8221;<\/blockquote><br \/>If Monique in Atlanta is your ideal client, write something like this:<br \/><blockquote>&#8220;Are you out there dating but not sure what you&#8217;re looking for? Work with me and I will help you better understand yourself so you can know with confidence the most important attributes that you should be looking for in a life partner.
