    Cold calling 5 businesses / day till I get my next client

    EXECUTION 
    Basically, it's all about rapport. If you can build rapport after the first call, they'll want to have another one. Then you can meet face to face.

    Cold calling 5 businesses / day till I get my next client

    EXECUTION 
    I wonder if I could ring up a local business, and convince them to meet me for a coffee... Then I can have a proper chat with them and do what Canadoz said

    Cold calling 5 businesses / day till I get my next client

    EXECUTION 
    Those openers are a nice way to stand out - I found you in the Surrey Facebook Biz group (oh so this guy is local? that's nice). And leading with results is an easy way to get thier ears to perk up. Hmm, if they have time to spam facebook do they really have money to pay a guy like me? Good...

    Cold calling 5 businesses / day till I get my next client

    EXECUTION 
    I've noticed closed ended questions lead to outright denials, and once they've said no there's not much you can do. I've been thinking about replacing "Do you need a website?" / "Are you interested?" with "How are you currently getting leads?"

    Cold calling 5 businesses / day till I get my next client

    EXECUTION 
    Why I’m Doing This This month, I’m down to just one client, which means I’ve got the time to start reaching out to new businesses. I sent an invoice to a plumbers merchant a week ago, fingers crossed that sales goes through. Anyway, I’ve set myself a challenge to cold call 5 businesses / day...

    Cold calling got me my first 2 clients. Those deals were worth £500 and £300.

    Sorry about that. It is a crazy obligation to take on. If you've got money tucked away or are working FT, it's doable.

    Alot of these will be dealt with by your hosting platform. (backups, security, etc) For design, just buy a theme off of theme forest for 10 bucks. They're all responsive templates. Seo is a toughie. You should charge extra for that. Scalability? For a local cafe? Copywriting - man, just use...

    I agree with you, it is crazy low. Still a good price if you have zero demonstrable results or no network. I also agree with you that building websites for free is a crazy good deal for the client. That's why it's so good at building up your network. I built 2 sites for free when I started...

    One more thing. You're gonna think this is corny AF. Think about how you can help others. Put yourself in a service mindset. Tell yourself every morning that God put you on this earth to serve others. When you do that, you become likeable. People open up to you. When they open up to you, just...

    In my (small) experience, you don't really want customers you have to pitch to. There are many clients out there that will bite your hand off. So no pitching required (unless telling people what you do counts as pitching). How can you stand out in a crowded market? Accumlate trust. Go to...

    Most people I talk to just need 4 pages (home, about, services, contact). So.. pretty simple. Yeah, 500 bucks is a good price.

    What do you think about this business that I want to start?

    IDEA 
    I was addicted to social media. I replaced my android with a "dumb phone". It was a new nokia 8210 4g. It worked for a bit, but then I bought an iPhone. So, I got re-addicted to SM. So then I deleted my instagram account. I turned off watch history on youtube. I installed an extension called...

    Funny, I was just talking to my dad about this. We grew up in the UK and he grew up in Africa. He said we don't realise how lucky we are.
