If you are just starting out in business and you are struggling to get clients, here's a strategy that works well.

If you do it right, in 3 months, you can serve over a dozen clients and probably net your first 6 figures.

Let's go.
The idea is to Deliver First, Get Paid Second.

Here's what I mean:

You started your business because you believe you can help people get result, right?

Good.

Here's what to do:

Go look for people who need that result and help them.

But there is rule
You don't do this with just about anybody.

There are three things you look out for:

1. They must be actively involved in their business.

2. They must be willing to put your ideas to test.

3. They should be willing to give you testimonials.
The quality of the client you do this for is important.

They can be the turning point for you.

So reach out to them.

Tell them about how your idea can help them get the result they seek.

Tell them you will receive no pay, but only their word that it did work for them.
If you eventually deliver on their promise and it works for them, use the testimonial to promote yourself widely.

I have used this strategy several times.

Another side of it is, tell them you will do it for free for them but they will have to connect you to 3 or 4 of their
contacts who need similar result.

I did this just last month.

A client came through, I instantly saw the power of his network.

I told him I'd help him get the result and he would pay nothing.

But he should connect me with 5 other persons who will gladly pay for it.
He got the result, showed the result to his contacts and they gladly paid for same.

It requires dedication, being smart and also showing confidence in your ability to deliver.

If you do it right, you should have a few clients to start with in a couple of months.
Remember, the quality of the client is very important!
