Hey everyone,
I wanted to get some advice for a friend of mine who’s working really hard to land her first social media client. She’s not on this forum, but I figured this would be the best place to ask.
She’s 16, started her own social media management agency, and has been waking up early every morning to cold call, cold email, and reach out to business owners.
She even built a website with a portfolio to showcase her work. https://calmiaagency.carrd.co/
I recommended The Millionaire Fastlane to her, and now she’s hooked, she gets the mindset and is actively executing, not just “thinking about it.” But she’s still struggling to land that first paying client.
Right now, she’s offering a beta program (NOT a free trial) for 2-3 businesses, where she’ll:
Optimize Instagram and Facebook for lead generation
Manage their social media client process so they can focus on running their business
She’s doing the outreach, but people either ghost her or say they “don’t have the budget.” She’s willing to put in the work, she just needs the right approach to land her first client.
Where I need your advice:
1️⃣ How can she position herself better to land her first REAL client?
2️⃣ If you were in her shoes, how would you approach this differently?
3️⃣ Any strategies you’ve used in the past to build credibility as a beginner?
I really want to help her out, so any insights would mean a lot.
Appreciate any advice!
