How to get clients
- Sell websites to local brick and mortar business

- Increase their price
- This will end up making them more money
- Strategy: find someone you can work for free, and ask them that once they get the website from you, they will give you a video testimonial and 2 referrals.
- From those referrals, ask to get paid $500/website and two more referrals
- Say you usually charge $1000 dollars for a website, but if they give you two referrals and a testimonial at the end of your collaboration, they you would only charge them $500
- Put those testimonials on your portfolio website
- Barbers
- Dentists
- Beauty salons
- Estheticians
- Restaurants
- Car dealerships
- calling /emailing local businesses and ask them to redo their websites or make one from scratch so they can get more customers
- google search (free)
- Instagram (free)
- D7leadfinder (paid)
- I’m about to sound like every other salesman that calls at this office and asks something, but I’m actually looking to make a website for you, for free, no catch whatsoever, because I want to build a name for myself. But I’m not even sure if the owner (insert owner name) is even okay with this.
- Purpose: Get their attention
- Examples:
- Re: your website is down
- Black or white?
- Remember that thing I asked?
- Loom video comparing their website vs their competitor website
- Use global rank extension that shows the weekly views
- This will show them how much they are losing if they don;t fix this problem
- Maintenance
- PPC google ads
- SEO
