How do i get clients w/o cold calling?

7 replies
So I wont have any time to do anymore of cold calling, so im looking for alternative ways of getting clients. I sold regular pages, plain on doing mobile pages now.
Can I just email companies?
I dont live in USA fwiw. also I dont have any time in the regular office hours only early mornings/late evenings, so I cant email and schedule a call.

    Who was it that has the WSO for getting clients with LinkedIn? It was regarding giving them a free website design, and charging a monthly fee.

    Slowly, expensively, and maybe not at all. I haven't had a lick of success with LinkedIn...and you all have an idea of what I have to offer. Not saying I've posted in every possible group; just haven't had any results from the sales questions-type ones.

    Anyway, I don't have to do it that way ;-)

    ...I call.

    BTW where do you live? Even with the 3 time zones in the US you may be able to reach 1 or 2 of those zones before or after you do your day job.

      hmm.. this is interesting.

      I live in Lithuania. I dont think my english is good enough to do cold calling in english, but def worth considering. Also how would they pay me? w/ paypal?

      So just emailing small businesses wont work?

    Make a site and promote your services to get clients. You can also promote your site in social networking sites..

    Emailing may work, but it will be slow. Do you have the time and money to wait for it to possibly get results?

    I've helped people in eastern Europe and the UK call US businesses.

    The best way is to look in your own circles. Do you know people who have a business? Do people you know know others who have a business? Then those are your targets. Build a portfolio and grow quicker than you thought possible.

    Not to toot my own horn but the WSO in my signature goes into great detail about this. It's been the formula of my success. I went from 0 clients to 5 clients in less than 1 month. Earning me over 1500$ a month.
    And I've got 9 more meetings set up with other prospects

    Nothing beats a referral, ever.

    Best of luck!
