I learned sales and marketing. The key in sales is to prospect for new clients, being able to provide value, and most importantly being persistent with your follow ups. 99% of any deal you close won’t be on your first contact. In fact, most deals are closed after 5-14 engagements. I know what you’re thinking, how tf am I going to do a cold sales pitch that many times (exactly what I was thinking too) but it’s basically the missing ingredient in your businesses.
TBH if you don’t have any money, it doesn’t cost anything to create a list of potential businesses or customers that would be interested in your service, finding the decision makers in that organization (I use LinkedIn or google search), then just email or call them and see if they be interested in your product or service. Just takes a little bit of practice and some balls.
Good news is after about 1-2 weeks of doing this you stop caring about rejections, your pitch becomes more solid and you’ll create a workflow that’s comfortable for you. Be persistent and you’ll start closing major deals!
