How to get 500 clients a year in a single niche by offering web design services without cold calls?

You have a good plan, but I definitely feel you should go for a goal that involves something you can achieve right now. For example, it doesn't sound too bad to try and land 5-10 clients in the next two to three weeks.

Live each week one by one. If you keep calculating, you'll end up struggling to land a single client, get confused and not be able to reach your 500 clients per year, and then give up because you didn't achieve that goal.

Once you start generating a new client per day, then we're in business.

Here's what I'd suggest for you at this moment in time:

Land a client, use what you did to get that client to get another one, and then rinse and repeat. Continue and continue.

Of course, it is still good to have big and huge goals, so go after it until you reach it.

Be sure to not give up because some peple believe it's the only way out.

So basically you want 500 clients but by doing the least work possible. Hmmm , your doing to have to figure out a better gameplan

That means you have to get almost 10 a week so good luck in doing that. You need excellent outsourcers and some management staff.

You write quite well so maybe think about doing something in that direction. Your first post really had me thinking that you can write well. Include something with content.

Mathematically, I don't think you can get there without cold calling on the phone or in person.

If you don't want to reach out to strangers with cold calls or cold walk-ins, you are going to have a tough time. The amount of money you have isn't close to what it would take to hit your number through advertising.

If I were you, I'd start by contacting every single person I know, or ever knew in my life. I mean everybody--even the kid who beat you up when you were ten years old. Or you beat up.

Reconnect with them and find out what they are doing. Bring them up to speed on your life and your company.

Have every one in your organization do the same. You will get some initial orders from these contacts, which you must overdeliver on. Then ask for referrals and build from there.

Spend some of your cash for direct-response business cards and flyers, and hand them out like you were running for the India National Congress. Do not be reasonable. Go crazy with your campaign. If your family starts to think you are overly obsessed with building your business, you are on the right track.

Most people don't realize the amount of work it takes to get something like this off the ground. It's much more labor-intensive than you think. If you are not working at it every waking hour you have available, forget it.

P.S. You'll want a good demo site, don't use Weebly for it.

I know it can be done as I did 800 mobile sites in a year but it will be the project management side and support that will take the time. Getting the work done was the easy part.

Walk into local businesses and pitch them with ideas. Sell them on why they must have your services. It's all about being personal and selling the dream. Then give them a bonus or commission on referred clients.

Sure. I started by going around my area doing one to one but realized this would be very slow and time consuming so I did small workshops on different aspects of marketing with mobiles.

What is a QR Code and how can it help your business?

What is a mobile Website and why you need one!

Short 45 minute presentations with Q & A 15 minutes. I advertised in local papers and with flyers to businesses.

Why sell to one when you can sell to a room full. ( Tip: Have staff to work with customers after meeting. You can't do it all and better you speak and mingle with all a little than spend time with one or two.)

As I got customers I found some had good lists so advertised with them and also met some sales people and reps from certain businesses so also did deals with them.

I am glad that ths thread has taken off. It's great that many guys are delving deep into ths idea. Great thread.
