The #1 Habit Separating Top Client Leaders from Everyone Else

We all know someone who seems to always have traction with clients.

They’re not necessarily louder, slicker, or even more experienced.

But somehow, they stay in demand. They earn trust. They keep their pipeline full.

What’s their edge?

“Top performers don’t rise to the occasion. They rise to their plan.”

It’s not luck. It’s not charisma. And it’s not talent.

It’s discipline - specifically, the discipline to stick to a client-growth process even when results don’t show up immediately. 

Passion Is Nice. Process Wins.

In client-facing work, it’s easy to get emotionally attached to outcomes.

• You have a great call—and start daydreaming about the contract.

• You don’t hear back for a week—and start questioning everything.

• You lose a deal—and suddenly, nothing feels like it’s working.

But if you lead with emotion, you’ll always feel out of control.

Top professionals don’t operate that way.

They build a rhythm - one that protects their mindset and their business, no matter what kind of day they’re having.

What the Best in Client Growth Do Differently

Chris calls this mindset “controlling the controllables.” You can’t control the prospect’s budget, internal politics, or timeline.

But you can control:

• How many meaningful conversations you initiate each week

• Whether you follow up when you said you would

• How you prep for client meetings

• Whether you stick to your outreach, even when results lag

That consistency is what builds real trust - both with your clients and with yourself.

Discipline Creates Options

When you have a structure, you don’t need to panic when a deal stalls.

You already have:

• Five other calls on the books

• Two warm intros in motion

• A follow-up webinar scheduled with a key stakeholder

You’re not scrambling. You’re leading. 

Chris writes:

“Fall in love with the routine, and you’ll never have to panic about performance.”

A Simple Plan You Can Stick To

You don’t need a 47-step funnel. You need a small number of high-impact behaviors done on repeat.

Here’s an example you can steal:

• 3 new client conversations per week

• 2 follow-ups to move stalled deals forward

• 1 referral request from an existing client

• 15 minutes a day prepping better questions for upcoming calls

You don’t need to win every day. You just need to show up for the process.

The Bottom Line

In a world full of people winging it, the one with a plan stands out.
