Social Media Marketing: How exactly can I get clients for my monthly social media writing service?

David C Barnett, I help you buy, sell, plan, value a business answered:

Hi, I've spent my career in Business to Business sales.

If you're not willing to make sales calls or deal with clients yourself, there are really only two options:

1. Create an interface for order taking and rely on marketing efforts.
2. Figure out a way to pay others to make the sales calls for you.

For option 1, think of all the sales pages online which pitch a product and then invite the reader to make a purchase. Different marketing efforts can be employed to drive traffic. If your service is in demand and at the right price point, people may choose to just sign up. It works for a lot of businesses.

Option 2 involves making deals with salespeople. Do you know what the most loved words are in the world of sales? RESIDUAL INCOME.

Find complementary service providers or salespeople who are not afraid to knock on doors and offer them a cut of the monthly fee... forever.

Imagine how motivated a salesperson would be if every successful sale netted them $100/m. By the time they hit 100 sales, they'd be enjoying a nice income and so would you.

Best of all, there is no limit to the number of people you can have working under this system... it scales.

Arrange a call if you'd like to explore some ideas specific to your situation, I've helped other entrepreneurs get their client journey and sales processes in order.

Thanks
