I got a DM the other day from someone who followed me on Twitter (who I’m not sure would like me naming him).
We started chatting. I asked him what he’s up to, what his goals are, and what’s been holding him back from reaching those.
Now it turns out he’s been building on Twitter for over 5 months now but he has trouble getting clients—one of the most common problems I’ve seen people have.
So I asked him what his current approach was to getting clients.
His answer?
===
I send 10 cold DMs each day and try to build a connection with people.
Once I feel like we have a connection I try to ask them if they need [what he offers] but then I come across as someone who’s in it only for the money and the whole conversation prior looks fake. So it just looks impossible to bring up my services.
Can you help me out with that?
===
Now see, that doesn’t work. Obviously.
And if you’ve been following me for a while you’ll know that I don’t like cold outreach. In fact, I despise it and I don’t want anything to do with it. That’s just not how I do business.
So that’d be tip number one: focus on warm outreach. Or even better, focus on generating inbound leads.
And don’t let anybody tell you inbound leads are impossible to get with a small audience. I got 60+ inbound leads before I hit 1,000 followers. And you can do so as well.
But more importantly, you’ll want to forget this whole “have a casual chat, build a relationship, and slowly steer the conversation towards your offer without the person noticing it” bullshit.
That’s the best and fastest way to become a “sleazy salesman”.
What you want to do instead is actively try to help your prospects and be upfront with your intentions. Don’t act like you’re trying to become their best friend.
You’re not.
Ask about their goals and their problems. Then position your offer as a solution that’s able to help them. No beating around the bush.
But there’s a lot more that we can cover, ranging from how to get leads to qualifying your prospects and landing clients consistently and effortlessly.
And that’s the exact topic of the new course I’m launching called The Abundant-Client System.
I’ve taken a different approach to launching this course. It’s already live and available for pre-purchase. I say pre-purchase because I’ve only been working on the course for a short while right now. I already created about 50% of the content I planned to add.
I’ll be working on the other 50% for the coming 3 weeks. So the course is currently available for 33% of the original price. The discounted price remains until Friday, October 27th, 11:59 pm CEST, after which the discount disappears for good and you’ll have to pay 3x the price as you do now.

PS: Reminder that this is a pre-purchase. So the course isn’t fully complete when you buy it.
The official FULL release date for the course is October 28th. After October 27th, 11:59 pm CEST, the course will triple in price and you will no longer be able to purchase it for the current low price (and lowest it’ll ever be).
Make sure you applied the discount code 'CLIENTS' if it didn't get added automatically and you see the discounted price before purchasing.
