What strategies are you using to attract new clients?
I think we can all agree that the market is challenging right now. Since launching my business earlier this year, I’ve been tirelessly searching for clients, and it hasn’t been easy.
What makes it even more challenging is the increased competition for each opportunity, especially as everyone is feeling the pressure to find work. Standing out from the crowd has become even more vital.
With so many people working remotely, reaching out via phone is proving to be more difficult—about 90% of my leads seem unreachable through cold calls.
I’d love to hear how you’re successfully navigating this. What messaging techniques are you finding effective? Have you had better luck using LinkedIn?
Any insights you can share would be greatly appreciated, as they could really help a new business like mine that’s struggling. Thanks!

Hey there! I totally get where you’re coming from—starting a new business is tough, and the competition is fierce, especially in today’s market. Here are a few strategies I’ve found helpful for winning new clients:
Leverage Social Media: LinkedIn has been a game-changer for me. Instead of cold calling, I focus on building genuine connections. I share relevant content, engage with posts in my niche, and use direct messages to start conversations rather than pitching right away.
Niche Targeting: Identify and target specific niches where you can provide unique value. Tailoring your messages to the pain points of those audiences can make your outreach feel more personalized and less like a generic pitch.
Create Valuable Content: I’ve found that providing free resources—like guides, webinars, or blog posts—positions me as an expert in my field and attracts potential clients. Sharing insights that help solve their problems can lead to valuable conversations.
Referrals and Networking: Don’t underestimate the power of referrals. Encourage satisfied clients to refer others, and consider partnering with complementary businesses to expand your reach. Networking, both online and offline, can lead to unexpected opportunities.
Client Testimonials and Case Studies: Highlighting success stories can be a great way to build trust with potential clients. Share testimonials or case studies on your website and social media to showcase your results.
Tailored Approaches: When you do reach out via email or DM, make your message specific to the person and their business. Mention something you admire about their work or offer a small suggestion that might help them. This makes your outreach feel less like a sales pitch and more like a genuine conversation.
Would love to hear what’s resonating with you or if you’ve tried any of these approaches! Hang in there—every step forward is a step toward growth!
