Pete McPherson shares a tip that helped him quickly land 2 paid freelance gigs and several leads 🚀
I once heard the following expression as it relates to selling things over the internet:
“If you want advice, ask for sales. If you want sales, ask for advice.”
[…] There are three huge benefits to starting your freelance client search by asking for referrals, rather than directly reaching out for work:
- It’s a friendly conversation (allowing you to reach out to friends & family, in addition to brands!)
- It takes the pressure off whoever you’re connecting with
- Referrals are totally awesome.
Plus, if the company you’re reaching out to is looking for somebody like you anyways, you’ve now just presented yourself on a silver platter without begging.
