Your First Consulting Clients Probably Already Know You

Your first client may already be in your phone.

If you’ve spent 10 or 15 years in your profession, you’ve probably built relationships with former colleagues, managers, clients, vendors, and industry contacts who already know what you’re capable of.

Yet when professionals start a business, many feel uncomfortable reaching out to those same people.

This Tuesday, we’ll work through how to turn your existing network into a practical starting point for finding your first clients, without treating every conversation like a sales pitch.

We’ll cover who to contact first, how to position what you’re building, what to say when you reach out, and how to follow up professionally.

I’ll also show you a simple way to organize your contacts and outreach so good opportunities don’t disappear into your inbox.
