In this episode, I dive into the art of pitching with a focus on getting potential clients on the phone and closing the deal. This is a method I have tried and tested over the last decade, and it has never failed me yet. I also share how to balance giving enough information to interest the client while also leaving them wanting more, and making them interested in what makes you, well, you. We explore the different stages of the email follow-up process, including laying out the pitch, bubbling up, and recycling previous emails.
