Hey Guys,

Depending on what kind of route you are doing your offline sales with this may help, this may be a fairly small amount of us who are able to do it this way but i thought i'd share what i am doing.


I've been doing offline consulting for nearly 4 years now, started a design agency which has thankfully been doing fairly well that i've now got staff to run the day to day goings on aswell as a in house designer,

Now due to my design agency earning enough for me to relax a bit and invest in other ventures i decided to pursue one of my passion projects; an events and management company by the name of Flawless

Which is going great we are actually launching in Sydney and Hongkong shortly, doing some events etc there


Now of course extra money is always great so i was thinking "Hmm what could i do with my down time"

I decided to start offering some design services to a select handpicked few

- Website Looks Dated
- Looks like a company i would WANT to work with
- A Niche/Company i have knowledge about
- Looks like they could need a boost in sales

I emailed each one,

Explained who i am, what i do but added this in


"I am looking for a select few companies I can help while traveling. Since all of the events I'm putting together take place at night, I need something to do during my downtime during the day. Because of this, I can offer services extremely cheaply. I'd be doing these projects personally--they wouldn't be going through my company, hence the price-cut.

Whether you need:

• Website Design & Setup
• Flyer // Business Card // Advert Designs
• Newsletter Signup Setup
• More Visitors To Your Site
• Social Media Setup
• Or anything else you can think of...

I can supply it at probably 25% OFF of what you think it costs or what you've already been quoted."



This is partly why i always tell people to build a brand around THEMSELVES rather than a company name, or aswell as a company name

So things like this are possible to do, i tell them to check our my social media accounts, few other people i've helped

I can honestly say out of 10 emails i send out each day, i get at least 7 back

My Subject line is usually " Looking for a company to.."

Just to get them to open it... Sneaky i know.


Now if any of you are traveling like myself, or want to use this as a sneaky way of getting business (Not the most ethical) i assure you it works, why ? because its a genuine reason and most people could relate to it



Hope this helps


Kai
