(Small Win) Landed a 2-Hour Consultation Gig...๐ŸŽ‰
Though I'm still working on landing my 1st automation client, completing a small 2-hour consultation gig was an interesting, unexpected surprise.
This client saw one of my "portfolio" videos on Upwork and asked if I'd be open to a 1-hour consultation call. I said yes (obviously) and we scheduled a call for the next day.
They were interested in GTM Strategy, Sales and Implementation initiatives for their new product wanted to know how I'd approach it. I asked questions around their current plans to launch, market and sell their offering. They answered, I asked more questions, provided insights, asked more questions, etc.
Then, we started coming up on time so I started the "wrap up" and said, "I feel like we've covered a lot of good information so far, but it would be extremely helpful if I could see or gain test' access to the offering. Speaking about something is one thing but actually being able to see how it works would paramount."
Their eyes lit up, look at their watch and said, "Do you have time for a demo?".
Me: Sure, I had a no-show earlier so I have extra time.
And off we went into the demo.
Long story short, after another hour of the demo, I was able to categorize my recommendations into "Efforts" and "Systems". I put together a roadmap for them and included a Full Marketing & Sales System (automation workflow).
They agreed to share their feedback with me later this week (but may go into next week since it's a holiday this week here in the US) but thought the 2-hour consultation was a cool experience on this journey ๐Ÿ˜Š.
I'm still going to continue my "Day #..." efforts until I get a true, 1st client.
Just wanted to share this for anyone who may be getting discouraged on their journey......keep going. Even if a "win" doesn't look like a "client", there could be other surprises waiting for you - if you just keep going.
