Freelance to Founder

Close 90% of Clients (without Proposals)


Listen Later

On today’s episode we chat with Brady, who is building a web design business from his home in northern Idaho, USA.

Brady has already built up a small team of contractors and aims to get the business running almost on autopilot in the next 6-12 months.

To do that, he’s got to first perfect his sales process and then train someone else to do it.

But he’s got a bit of a sales problem. After drafting a proposal and getting on a call with a client, too many people are just saying “no”—making it hard to get new web design clients on a regular basis.

So today’s episode becomes a masterclass on selling your services without ever drafting up a proposal—which Clay and I believe are a massive waste of time and effort.

This episode reveals what we recommend you do instead—the method that gets us a 90% close rate with new clients.
