We are looking Desperately for clients and what is the right strategy. I see lately often the question how do I find my first customer !!!
I have been using the underlaying methodology for more then 10 years with amazing results as long as you follow the right steps.
When reaching out to new clients, having a structured approach makes all the difference between random outreach and strategic relationship building. The BITSER model provides a proven framework that guides you through every stage of client acquisition and retention.
What is BITSER?
BITSER is a comprehensive sales flow model that transforms how you approach client outreach. It's not just about making a sale β it's about building lasting relationships that generate continuous value for both you and your clients.
The 6 Stages of BITSER
B - Be Known
Foundation: Establish who you are
This is where every relationship begins. Before anyone will do business with you, they need to know you exist and understand who you are as a person and professional.
Key Actions:
- Introduce yourself authentically
- Share your background and experience
- Be genuine in your interactions
- Ask about them β show real interest in their world
- Remember: People buy from people they know and trust
I - Image
Differentiation: What makes you unique
Once they know who you are, you need to clearly communicate what you stand for and what sets you apart from everyone else in your field.
Key Actions:
- Define your unique value proposition (your GOLDEN EGG)
- Share your core values and mission
- Highlight what makes your approach different
- Tell your story β why do you do what you do?
- Position yourself as the obvious choice for their specific needs
T - Traffic
Trust Building: Prove your value with free offers
Now comes the crucial trust-building phase. Instead of jumping straight to a sales pitch, you provide genuine value upfront through free offers that let prospects experience your expertise firsthand.
Key Actions:
- Offer a free consultation, audit, or sample
- Provide valuable content (guides, templates, mini-courses)
- Give them a taste of the transformation you can deliver
- Let your work speak for itself
- Remove all risk from their first interaction with you
S - Sales
Conversion: Make your tailored offer
Based on their response to your free offer and the feedback you've gathered, you now make a customized sales proposal that directly addresses their specific needs and challenges.
Key Actions:
- Reference their experience with your free offer
- Address the specific problems they've shared with you
- Present a solution that feels tailor-made for them
- Use their language and priorities in your proposal
- Make it feel like a natural next step, not a pushy sale
E - Extra Sales
Expansion: Serve happy clients more deeply
Once you have satisfied clients, they become the perfect candidates for additional services. Happy clients are much easier to sell to because trust is already established.
Key Actions:
- Monitor client satisfaction and success
- Identify additional needs and opportunities
- Propose complementary services at the right time
- Upsell and cross-sell based on results achieved
- Position additional services as continued partnership
R - Resell
Referrals: Turn clients into advocates
The final stage transforms your happiest clients into a referral engine. Satisfied clients naturally want to share solutions that worked for them with others facing similar challenges.
Key Actions:
- Consistently deliver exceptional results
- Ask for referrals at peak satisfaction moments
- Make referral process easy with templates and tools
- Reward referrals appropriately
- Stay top-of-mind for future referral opportunities
Why BITSER Works
The BITSER model works because it mirrors how real relationships and trust develop naturally. It's patient, value-focused, and client-centric rather than seller-focused. Each stage builds naturally into the next, creating momentum rather than resistance.
Key Benefits:

- Better client relationships and longer retention
- Natural referral generation
- Sustainable business growth
- More enjoyable sales process for both parties
