Hey,
I've been doing a web design agency - like a specialized skill of sorts.
So far, I have signed 2 people up for a free job - although I didn't get them results yet, because after I've designed them a website neither of them has started transferring them to their domains.
I was cold calling electricians, and quite a few said that "there is not enough electricians in Ireland, and the work is plenty, so we don't really need marketing". Now I am calling architects, and I get "oh, clients... we have so much jobs, we are booked to about Christmas... Maybe reach out to us in November".
Now I can't say over the phone "hey, I've just completed a job for a client, and we've got him 20% more clients that resulted in +$XXXX of revenue", because, well, I didn't do one yet.
Is this just an Irish thing where people rely so much on referrals from friends and family? Should I just endure and finally get my third "first client" to whom I'll get exceptional results (which I will)?
Should I purge cold calling for until my first results and try other methods like posting on Facebook/linkedIn? Suggestions?
