JMS462: Men trust their ears less than their eyes

You've made the sale! Created your irresistible offer, nailed down a contract, got a deposit... now, it's time to WOW your client so they hire you again and again... and spread positive word of mouth... bringing you even more future clients. The most important part? A good argument to be made that it's the first impression you make right after they hire you.That's where onboarding comes in. Here's 7 things to include in your onboarding sequence to make a good first impression.

JMS461: Little things make big things happen

We crafted an irresistible offer. We made clients what to hire us. Now, we need to smoothly transition them from "ready to hire" to signed contract and deposit. Lock it in, essentially. Here's the tricks I've learned the last two decades to do that.

JMS460: When in doubt, go to the source

Continuing from the last episode... we're going to craft a truly irresistible offer. The point is to make both the solution AND the offer superior so it's a clear, obvious, "no-brainer" why a potential client should choose our service over everyone else who does the exact same thing. Do THAT and marketing and sales become almost obsolete -- or at the very least... a helluva lot easier.

JMS459: For everything you gain, you lose something else

What makes you better than all the other options clients have for freelancers? Why should they pick you over everyone else? To get hired, you need to start with good answers to these questions... and, in this episode, I'll show you how to create those good answers -- that is, how to position your service as superior to every one else in your market and the "no-brainer" option for potential clients.
