Introduction – Last 2 Months​

-I started my last semester of college. Alongside that, I bought a skillshare membership and took some courses on graphic design, video editing, facebook ads, copywriting and cold calling.

-Immediately after, I started cold calling local businesses selling my facebook ad services. I believe I made over 120 dials (out of which I talked to 50 business owners, booked 3 meetings (1 didnt show up), and closed a client.). This was my first client. Still working with him (this is my 3rd month with him).

However, after landing that client i stopped doing cold calling or any other type of outreach (going to resume this again). I jusitfied this by saying I have school and should focus on school, but i can manage to take time out to do this

Managed to make my first $200 online during these 2 months (not exact dollar figure, just converted from my Local Currency, I live in a 3rd world country) and generated some good results for my client.

My main goal with this is to get some sales and marketing experience for a future Fastlane venture

Will be logging all outreach in this thread along with the content I post for my Personal Brand.
