2. Contest
• Challenged you to enroll one new client next
week – how would you go about doing so?
• Stakes are VERY high - $100,000 prize if you
could just get 1 client
• Would $100,00 be enough to get you excited
about prospecting for clients?

3. Can be a Reality
I hope you are excited – this can happen!
If you work feverishly to get in front of your ideal
clients, you can truly operate a highly
successful & profitable business!

4. Excitement
• Think about why you started your business in the
first place?
– What made you excited about being an
entrepreneur?
• That is the very energy and zeal that you need to
employ when you are marketing your solutions to
the people who are already looking for you!

5. How?
• I want to share with you the strategies that we
have used to build 3 successful business.
• First, I want to offer a disclaimer:
– If you don’t create a plan and WORK that plan by
doing what you need to do, you will NOT get new
clients and thus build your business!
Here are the 5 strategies that I’ve used:

6. #1 Tapped Into My Warm Market
This tactic is how I got my business off the ground:
• Simply told my friends, co-workers and associates
that I was starting a VA business
– Sent a letter to everyone that I knew and set
coffee dates with others
• Did whatever I could to get the word out!
• This was my first marketing campaign!

7. #2 Networked Eagerly
Networking is a matter of connecting with
others and being a resource for them!
• Told more people how I could help entrepreneurs to
create more freedom and more success in their
business
• Attended events where invested, forward thinking
entrepreneurs were in attendance

8. Networking cont.
• Took a professional approach
• Had a polished, professional, easy to navigate
website that detailed my services & my
background
• Business cards set the tone and made a great
impression
• Followed up PROMPTLY

9. #3 Used Craigslist.com Strategically
• Entrepreneurs posted the type of help they
were looking for
• Found my first two clients here and had a
wonderful working relationship with both
companies
• A great way to connect with people who are
already looking for what you have to offer

10. #4 Followed Up Tenaciously
• People are busy and will quickly forget about
you
– Don’t take it personally or a sign they’re not
interested
• Don’t allow prospects to forget you!
– Stay on top of mind until you know one way or the
other if you are a good fit to work together

11. Bonus Tip: Knowledge & Skill
• Increase your knowledge and skill religiously
– Attend classes or seminars (any training)
• Make an effort to build your business to the best of
your ability no matter of the cost
• Can not afford to miss!
• The more you know, the more you grow
– Ultimately translates to the growth of your business and
your income

12. That’s It!
• The magic bullet is creating a plan and doing
the work to implement that plan… day in and
day out
• Make the commitment to see your plans
through
• Consistency is far more powerful than
perfection!

13. Focusing your energy on just a few
key techniques and working your
plan is GUARANTEED to create
more profits and more freedom in
your business!
