Self-Made Web Designer

How to Land Your First Three Web Design Clients

Episode Summary

I'll share a step-by-step strategy that helped me secure my first three web design clients without needing a portfolio, website, or cold calling. The key approach is leveraging personal connections through my 'First 100 Framework.' I'll explain how to list potential contacts, what to say during outreach, handle different types of responses, and tips for the initial client phone call. You'll also learn how to navigate budget discussions and proposal tiers effectively. For more convenience, a free 'First 100 Framework' template is available to streamline your process.
