Booked My First Offline Client!!!

27 replies
It feels so good to book your first client. I managed to close my first client yesterday for a $950 upfront fee and $375 per month.

I wrote a blog post on my blog in my signature about the WHOLE thing so I wont re write everything here.

All I can tell you guys who haven't made any money on the online market is to go OFFLINE.

Its so much easier and the COMP is a joke. You are not competing with thousands of other marketers in the OFFLINE world.

Special thanks to everybody at WF....and another special thanks to Mario Brown. I haven't bought any of his products or WSO's before. I only checked out his free stuff and webinars and it was more then enough to get me headed in the right direction.

Stay Cool..

    Congrats, but remember one of the most important things is to NOT stop.

    Once you have that first one, during the entire process of getting them going never stop attempting to get other clients.

    Again, congrats!

    That is great. I really want to start to explore more options and get offline if I can. It seems like there's great opportunity there. Now what types of services do you provide?

    Congratulations on your first offline client. I can't wait to get to that stage. Also just read your blog too, looks like you're running a few projects.
    All the best.

      Yes at first I was just starting with doing simple article marketing and such. But with google recent algo changes and EZA dropping off the map for a lot of keywords.

      I decided to try out offline marketing and so far I am very excited about the possibilities. I may have my second client in the next upcoming days...

        Hi, and congrats on your first client.

        Did you know her before signing her up as a client?
        If not, for the benefit of the offline forum, how did you snag your first client?

      I did not know her before signing up. She was a referral from a friend that I helped with his rankings of his offline business.

      She actually found his site ranking high in google and asked him how is his site ranking so high.

      He then recommended me...

      Thats Correct, I never met her face to face yet. Everytime we had a meeting scheduled she would re-schedule so it tooks some creative thinking. I had a design done for her and emailed it to here with my name watermarked on it.

      As soon as I emailed her she picked up the phone and called me and said "I WANT THAT SITE!". So I decided since I had her hooked and on the phone I will do my whole presentation right there on the spot.

      I emailed her all the packages and stuff I prepared. And just went over everything one by one over the phone. It was like a 45 minute conversation and by the end of it she told me to send over the paypal so she can make the payment.

      I was so happy!

        LOL.....I can relate to that. It's a great feeling

        It's even better when you realise how easy it was to get the sale compared to traditional online marketing where you are busting a gut to sell a $49.99 Clickbank product.

        Try and make sure that you get recurring work from her as SEO is a continual process.

        I hope that this is a great confidence booster for you and helps you to get even more business.

        A HUGE well done and congratulations

    Congratulations on getting your first client! You'll find that offline marketing gets much easier the more you do it, and it really snowballs pretty quickly, especially when you have satisfied clients referring you to new ones - this word of mouth advertising can really spread like wildfire!

        Big applause for you, keep up the good work.

        Now is the time to set up a referral system, make it in your offer that you will refund a percentage if the client refers a client when he is happy. I advised this to one of my friends and he is doing business for two years only on referrals now.

        If you want to make it work you really have to emphasize this in the offer, it shows that you are serious and my friend never takes a client who doesn't agree now.


        I wish you all the best.

        ps If any of you want to implement a referral system let me know and I will send you 68 referral strategies in a pdf.

      Yes I am trying. I am working with a new client already. I offered to do a design PSD of his website and we agreed that if he likes the design he will pay for it to be fully coded and uploaded. If he doesn't like it then he just simply says NO...

      Im sure he is going to love it because his current site is terrible lol...

      I let everyone know how it goes...I also will be updating my blog in my sig on the regular and teaching some strategies I am using to close clients and other materiel...

    Hi Great job to Race2Millions for taking action and making it happen. Hope you get more and more clients dude :-)

    I wondered if anyone can help as I am too looking to help small businesses in my area. What types of businesses are best to go and talk to first? Can anyone give me a few pointers here. Thanks
