Send a professional quote
Your quote is your first impression. Customers are looking to hire the best professional for their projects. Treat your quote as a professional introduction to a potential new customer. Greet them by name, address their needs or concerns, and ask them questions. Most importantly, let them know why you are the best one for the job.
Share your rates
Customers are more likely to hire when they know the cost. Explain your rates in detail. Tell the customer exactly what to expect for that rate, why you charge what you do, and how that rate is a fair price to pay for your services. If you can't add a price, that's fine. Just be sure to explain why you omitted the price.
Create an awesome profile
Your profile is automatically sent to customers you send a quote to. Make sure your profile advertises you well. Make sure your profile photo is inviting; a company logo or smiling photo of you is best. We make it easy to list your years of experience and credentials too so be sure to add them.
Reviews
Reviews are the number one selling point for service businesses. Getting 5+ reviews doubles your chances of getting hired. Ask past and current customers to post reviews on your profile so new customers can read feedback from the customers that enjoy working with you.
Stick with it
You won't get hired by every customer you have a conversation with, but stick with it. Keep responding to leads and opportunities. Remember, you're marketing your business and the hires will come.
