How to Find Clients 03/22/2023

How to Find Clients Confession: We recorded this episode twice. It was originally called Prospecting 101 and none of us were passionate about it. In fact, when we recorded it the first time..the three of us looked at each other from across our zoom screens and just straight up confessed..."I'm not feeling this.." So we re-grouped and revisited this topic in a way that felt right to us. Prospecting/Finding Clients is 100% something you need to be 100% in to. If you do it in a way that doesn't feel right to you, you will be attracting all of the wrong clients. So..in today's episode, we talk all things how to find clients: what has worked well for us, what would we like to do in the future that we haven't tackled yet, and what have we done that didn't feel was right for us. We hope you enjoy this water cooler conversation about finding clients in a way that feels light and easy. We are delighted to announce our newest partner: Modern Agent Social Club!
