Why Start With Why – Building a Purposeful Conveyancing Business

Building a Purposeful Conveyancing Business

PEOPLE DON’T BUY WHAT YOU DO, THEY BUY WHY YOU DO IT

There’s a commonality between Apple, Google, Thankyou, Dove, and us – KDD Conveyancing Services.

We all have a purpose layered on top of our actual business model.

What does that look like? Well, for a company like Dove, it means their mission is more than selling soap. They use their brand as a platform to encourage girls to boost their self-esteem. In fact, they started a movement – #speakbeautiful – inspiring girls around the world to celebrate their beauty on social media.

Thankyou is another excellent example of a company that’s embraced the concept of ‘Start With Why’. They don’t just make baby products, skincare ranges, and bottled water, they’re working towards ending global poverty in our lifetime.

What’s the upside of what seems like extra work for a business – besides shifting the world a little towards being a better place?

Purpose is usually a catalyst for success.

WHAT’S THE START WITH WHY CONCEPT ALL ABOUT?

Simon Sinek is an optimist, a visionary, and the author of Find Your Why, Leaders Eat Last and Together Is Better. He advocates businesses to ask, dwell, reflect, and pound on the “Why” of their existence. Most companies have no clue “why” they do what they do. In fact, according to Sinek, most companies don’t even know “what” they do.

We decided early on we weren’t going to belong to that category.

Just by taking some time to dwell on your “Why” you can start projecting your company in a totally different way along with reshaping the culture of your business, how customers and employees perceive your business, and eventually your profits.

TALKING ABOUT PROFITS, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE MOST PROFITABLE COMPANIES ARE NOT THOSE THAT ARE PROFIT-FOCUSED.

A survey titled “The Business Case for Purpose”, thanks to Simon Caulkin of FT.com revealed that companies that have a specific purpose (beyond making money) returned six times more to shareholders than profit-driven companies.

Being purpose-driven doesn’t have to be a USP for only large companies with big pockets or those backed by fancy-pants MBA teams. Every business can think of a way to layer purpose on top of their business model. Also, the concept of Start With Why doesn’t also always have to lead to charity donations. It can be as simple as communicating effectively your products, services, or brand solve a particular problem customers have and what you really intend to do after a sale is made.

At KDD Conveyancing Services, here’s how we start with why:

  • We regularly meet and speak about the ‘Why’ for our business (and it’s not making money!)
  • We ensure that every single marketing message, internal communication memo, and how we project ourselves incorporates our ‘Why’
  • We constantly refine and fine-tune our ideal client avatar and ensure we’re speaking to them in the way they need to hear us
  • We do donate to charities, with both time and fiscally, but we also focus on a different way of putting our message out by focusing on how we stand up for excellence in the industry and a purposeful view of changing the world, one happy client at a time

To many, conveyancing might not seem the most glamorous industry and perhaps our business isn’t considered as able to influence social change as, say, Thankyou does. However, it’s the kind of job people don’t realise is important until they need us – even more so if negotiations get tricky between a property Buyer and Seller. Here’s where we really make a difference in the lives of our clients.

In everything we do, we ensure the process is as smooth as possible. Buying and selling property, even if you’re a qualified property developer, is commonly understood as one of life’s more stressful undertakings. How we do what we do makes such a tremendously positive impact for our clients.
