5 sales tips that will help you land more clients

If you’re a freelancer, your income depends on your selling skills.

However, don’t let this bring you down because sales can be easy and comfortable.

Here are some tips that can help you change the game:

• Listen and understand prospects’ needs first, and only then start telling about your services. Your pitch should be based on what exactly the prospects want. 

• Ask questions that lead your prospects to the conclusion that they should work with you and you can solve their problem. For example, “What are you struggling with?”. Then ask them a question that shows that you listen to them carefully, use re-statements. After that, you can start your pitch. 

• Do not over-commit. It’s better to deliver more than expected rather than over-commit. 

• Testimonials and case studies are essential. Give your prospect examples of the types of businesses you helped before. 

• If you don’t like selling, partner with other freelancers who can offer your services to their clients.

As soon as you close the deal, share your paid link with your client.
