I'm a commercial office space broker. Wondering how to actively land the first client as I'm new and do not have previous client testimonials/referrals.
Rarely will any client care about testimonials. They only care about results.
Referrals, do your own.
Here's how...
Join https://Meetup.com networking groups in your local area + attend several each week. Be sure to attend the same Meetup groups at least 10+ times, so people get use to seeing you.
For groups with before meeting introductions, use something like this...
"If your office space is way to high for what you're getting + you can never get anything fixed, find me afterward. Likely I can help you..."
Then sit down.
Then stand 1/2 way up again + say.
"My name's {your first name here}."
Then sit back down.
Note: Keep refining your intro, using the above template, till clients start pouring in.
