What women want
by OneCoach Team | posted on February 9th, 2009 | Marketing
That’s right. We’ve been able to decipher the age-old secret of what women want. We broke it down into two simple truths:
- First, make their lives easier.
- Second, make their time more meaningful.
That’s it. If you constantly incorporate ways to enrich their lives and make things easier for them, then you’re sure to get lifelong customers.
Of course men are extremely busy too. But you’ve got to consider that 75 percent of women are working today, many of them full-time, and they’re spending an additional 25 hours taking care of life at home.
You must understand that it’s not just about a woman’s need to know she’s significant, but that she’s also juggling and trying to enrich the lives of everyone who’s important to her.
As a result, women have become very savvy consumers and are starving for efficient solutions.
So here’s how to reach women prospects: Make yourself an ally. Provide the means to help get her through the day without a headache and she’ll tell 26 people about how much she loves your business. So, either through a focus group of women, or by taking some quiet time for yourself and really trying to get inside the mindset of women, figure out exactly what makes a woman’s day easier.
Whether it’s flexible hours of operation, high-quality referrals you provide, or plentiful resources that help her make an educated decision, you need to remember the importance of convenience in a woman’s life. Figure out how to make her life easier by making the buying and customer-service experience better, and you will attract more women to your business.

All of what you say is true. Women actually have many more responsibilities than men, in many more areas. Somehow, in trying to perform and do well, they forget about themselves and lose their sense of significance and meaning. This causes many women not to appreciate themselves enough. As a therapist, I try to point this out to women clients who often become swallowed up by their various duties, tired and dispirited, always feeling that they are not doing enough. Self-appreciation helps them see the vital role they play in their family, improves self-esteem and allows them to prioritize better their responsibilities and duties for maximal satisfaction.

I really like the two simple points about women. If we are able to fulfill them, we’ll be able to connect well with them. Ismini mentioned about self-appreciation is great, it is like gratitude thinking, cherish what we have or are doing. Thank you for sharing.
