Niches to Avoid

Step 2: Prospecting Methods
Now that you have your niche, it’s time to find potential clients. Here are effective prospecting methods:
-
Instagram:
- Search for relevant keywords (e.g., "investing coach") to find prospects.
- Explore Instagram ads to identify businesses with a marketing budget.

YouTube:

- Look for advertisements to find potential clients.
-
Email Scraping Tools:
- Use platforms like Apollo.io or RocketReach to find contact information for prospects.
Step 3: Outreach Techniques
Creating a compelling outreach message is essential. Here are key strategies:
- Clarity is Key: Write in simple, clear language that’s easy to understand.
- Personalization: Make your outreach feel exclusive to the prospect.
- Low Commitment Requests: Encourage a simple reply rather than complex actions.
- Provide Value: Offer something of value in your initial outreach to build trust.
Example Outreach Methods
-
Instagram Bait and Riz Method:
- Start by replying to their story with a question about their product.
- Transition to discussing how you can help them, leading to a request for a call.
-
Loom Video Outreach:
- Ask if you can send a brief video explaining how you can help them.
- Include personalized insights and end with a low-commitment call-to-action.
-
Video Intro DM:
- Send a short video introducing yourself and how you can add value to their business.
Step 4: Follow-Up Strategies
Effective follow-up can significantly increase your chances of closing clients. Here are dos and don’ts:
-
Do:
- Use different angles for each follow-up message.
- Personalize your messages to reflect the prospect's specific situation.
- Be persistent but respectful; follow up multiple times without being spammy.
-
Don’t:
- Avoid sending the same message repeatedly.
- Don’t pressure them into a response.
Follow-Up Templates
-
Quick Bump:
- “Hey [Name], I know you’re busy with your [business], but I wanted to check in. If you’re open to it, I’d love to discuss how I can add value!”
-
Loom Follow-Up:
- “Hey [Name], my last message was a bit long. I created a quick video with some ideas for you. Would you like me to send it over?”
-
Break-Up Email:
- “I’ve reached out a couple of times without a reply. This will be my last message. If you’re interested in discussing how I can help, just reply ‘yes’ and I’ll send over my ideas.”
Step 5: Mastering Sales Calls
Once you secure a call, it’s crucial to perform well. Here are some basic principles:
- Research Before the Call: Know their business and prepare relevant questions.
- Listen Actively: Engage in a two-way conversation rather than an interview format.
- Address Objections: Use curiosity to explore the prospect's concerns without being confrontational.
- Close the Deal: Clearly outline next steps and how you will deliver results.
