 LISTENER QUESTION:

Mayowa asked, “How do I get my first client if I’m just starting and nobody knows who I am?”

ANSWER:

Who is in your sphere of influence? Usually people have some circle of influence and that sets certain some expectations. So what you do is look through who your contacts are, the connections they have, and assess how they see you. What you do is you pick someone who already sees you as a trusted expert in that area, and then simply reach out to them and ask for an introduction.

Second, who do you know that can benefit from whatever it is you are helping people do? And simply ask them question.

Third, create an online profile that matches what you want people to see about you. You want whatever they see should set an expectation for what to come.

 TIPS:

  1. Coaching Solutions: Secrets to Sales Success in 2015 – Some Mistakes You Need to Avoid When Launching Online. Never forget to create a professional presence that sets the expectation for people. This is because people will look you up. Don’t start presentations too soon. Don’t waste time marketing to people who are not really your target market. Don’t be afraid to narrow who you are targeting.

 

  1. Look for how to build strategic alliance. Find, create, collaborate, work together with people to do things. The better you are at collaborating with people, the more effective you will be.
