    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.

    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. Beginner's Guide to Freelance Course: https://myjohn.us/bgtf Hosted on Acast.
