The Effortless Clients Formula

August 11, 2024

Think about it like this, in this book, I’m going to show you how to build a car, and in this first chapter, I have an entire car disassembled so you can see every single nook and cranny of how it works.

Then in the next chapter, we're going to start diving into each individual part.

Here’s the formula:

(Your Identity) x (Your Purpose) x (Your Marketing) x (Your Offers) x (Your Brand) x (Your Network) = Client Attraction Score 

The Effortless Client Formula focuses on one metric and one metric only to track your success, what I call the Client Attraction Score (CAS). 

The CAS is calculated by multiplying those 6 critical “Attraction Components” together. The higher the CAS, the higher the rate at which clients flock to you, and vice versa. 

Improve those six areas, and your ability to magnetically attract your perfect-fit clients will skyrocket because a multiplying effect happens when you improve each of these areas.

Each component is ranked on a scale of 1-10. For example, if you’re an absolute beginner with no experience, your Client Attraction Score would equal 1.

Yet, on the other side of the spectrum, someone like Tony Robbins would be the exact opposite.

Here are the different experiences that you can expect to have with different CAS levels…

CAS = 1

At this level, you're just starting out. You're probably wondering where the hell your next client is gonna come from. You might be relying on cold outreach, praying that someone will respond to your emails or DMs. It's a grind, and it feels like you're constantly chasing after clients. But hey, we all gotta start somewhere, right?

CAS = 100

Alright, now we're getting somewhere. At a CAS of 100, you're starting to see some consistent results. You've got a few solid clients, and you're starting to get some referrals. People are beginning to take notice of your work, and your marketing efforts are paying off. It's not quite effortless yet, but you're definitely on the right track.

CAS = 1000

At a CAS of 1000, you're starting to feel like a fucking rockstar. Clients are seeking you out, and you're getting more inquiries than you know what to do with. You're able to be selective about who you work with, and you're commanding higher prices. Your network is growing, and people are starting to see you as an authority in your field.

CAS = 10,000

Holy shit, a CAS of 10,000? You're basically a client magnet at this point. You've got a waiting list of people who want to work with you, and you're able to cherry-pick the best projects. Your marketing is on point, your network is thriving, and your offers are irresistible. You're making bank, and you're loving every minute of it.

CAS = 100,000

At a CAS of 100,000, you're playing in the big leagues. You're attracting high-profile clients, and you're able to command premium prices. Your brand is recognized throughout your industry, and people are constantly seeking out your expertise. You're speaking at conferences, writing books, and being featured in major publications. You're not just a creator anymore; you're a fucking institution.

CAS = 1,000,000

Okay, let's be real. A CAS of 1,000,000 is the stuff of legends. At this level, you're not just attracting clients, you're attracting an entire movement. You've got a cult-like following of raving fans who would follow you to the ends of the earth. You're making a massive impact in your industry, and your influence extends far beyond your immediate network. You're not just a creator, you're a visionary, and basically an icon.

Now don’t get overwhelmed by the idea of trying to hit a CAS of 1,000,000 (baby steps, my friend). I haven’t even achieved that. 

Look, if you were to only improve each of these areas by just 2X (doubling them)...

You wouldn't just double your results…you're getting a 64X increase in how easily you attract clients.

That's the power of the Effortless Client System. Each component builds upon and amplifies the others, creating a compounding effect that makes it easier and easier to bring the right clients towards you.

Now, you might be thinking, "But Nick, doubling those areas sounds like a lot of work!" And you're right, it's not easy, but it’s worth it. 

Client Attraction requires you to think about things from a long-term perspective, not a short-term perspective like cold emails or ads. 

Client Attraction is a lot like this... 

Have you ever met a guy who’s maybe 40 or 50 but he’s still friggin’ jacked, not like steroids jacked, just in good shape? 

If you ask these guys, they almost all admit that they don’t work out as hard as they used to. Because they put the work in earlier on, they can cruise into maintenance mode which is a lot more relaxed pacing and intensity.

Yet, even though they work out 20% as hard as they used to, they look great, feel great, and their results speak for themselves!

The same thing applies here. 

Yes, you may have to put sweat equity in at the start so you can max out your rating in all 6 parts of the equation, but trust me it’s worth it.

Having “money fall from the sky” because of work you did in the past that you’ve already forgotten, is always one of the sweetest joys you can experience.

Simply put, when you combine everything together, you have all the ingredients for consistent, effortless client attraction. 

However, you need to have the self-awareness to be honest with yourself and rank yourself accurately on a scale of 1-10 in each one of these categories.

To help you accurately assess your current standing in each of the six areas, I've put together a quick self-assessment guide. 

For each component, I'll provide a brief description of what a 1, a 5, and a 10 would look like. This will give you a clear understanding of where you fall on the spectrum and help you identify areas for improvement.

Your Identity

  • 1: You don't have a clear sense of who you are as a creator or what you stand for. You struggle to articulate your unique value proposition and often feel like an imposter in your industry.
  • 5: You have a general idea of your identity as a creator, but it's not fully developed. You can communicate your value to clients, but it's not always consistent or compelling.
  • 10: You have a rock-solid sense of identity and purpose. You know exactly who you are, what you stand for, and how you help your clients succeed. Your identity is authentic, magnetic, and instantly recognizable.

Your Purpose

  • 1: You don't have a clear understanding of why you do what you do. You're primarily focused on making money and lack a deeper sense of mission or impact.
  • 5: You have a sense of purpose, but it's not always at the forefront of your mind. You know you want to make a difference, but you sometimes get sidetracked by day-to-day demands.
  • 10: Your purpose is the driving force behind everything you do. You have a crystal-clear mission that inspires you to show up as your best self every single day. Your clients can feel your passion and commitment, and it draws them to you like a magnet.

Your Marketing

  • 1: You have little to no marketing in place. You rely on word-of-mouth or sporadic outreach to find clients, and your pipeline is often dry.
  • 5: You have some marketing strategies in place, but they're not always consistent or effective. You're generating leads, but the quality and quantity are hit-or-miss.
  • 10: You have a well-oiled marketing machine that consistently attracts your ideal clients. You're using a mix of strategies (content, social media, email, etc.) to build your brand, establish your authority, and generate a steady stream of high-quality leads.

Your Offers

  • 1: You don't have any clear offers or packages. You often customize your services for each client, which leads to scope creep and inconsistent pricing.
  • 5: You have a few defined offers, but they're not always aligned with what your ideal clients want or need. You're making sales, but you know there's room for improvement.
  • 10: You have a suite of irresistible offers that are perfectly tailored to your ideal clients' needs and desires. Your pricing is competitive yet profitable, and your packages practically sell themselves.

Your Brand

  • 1: You don't have a cohesive brand identity. Your visual assets (logo, website, etc.) are inconsistent or nonexistent, and you blend in with everyone else in your industry.
  • 5: You have a basic brand identity, but it's not always memorable or distinctive. You've got a logo and website, but they don't quite capture the essence of who you are and what you do.
  • 10: You have a powerful, magnetic brand that instantly sets you apart from the competition. Every touchpoint (your website, social media, content, etc.) tells a compelling story and positions you as the go-to expert in your niche.

Your Network

  • 1: You don't have much of a professional network. You rarely attend industry events or connect with other creators, and you don't have any referral partnerships in place.
  • 5: You have a decent network of contacts, but you're not always strategic about nurturing those relationships. You get the occasional referral, but it's not a consistent source of business.
  • 10: You have a robust, thriving network of clients, colleagues, and partners who consistently send high-quality referrals your way. You're a connector and a go-to resource in your industry, and your network is one of your most valuable assets.

Now, be honest with yourself as you rank each component. 

Remember, this isn't about judging yourself harshly or feeling bad about where you're starting from. No matter where you're starting from, you have the power to level up in each of these areas. 

Every single one of the components in the Effortless Client Formula is a learnable, improvable skill. With focus, strategic action, and a willingness to experiment and iterate, you can steadily increase your Client Attraction Score and start enjoying the benefits of effortless client attraction.

Remember, this book is not a magic pill—what you put into it is what you'll get out of it.
