So- I have a progress thread around here regarding my newest venture. In short, I am gathering clients and servicing them with digital marketing, social media, and graphics. These clients are on monthly plans either 6 or 12 months. I currently have a few small clients, 3-figures each MRR.
I was caught off guard the other day with a hour long phone call - a marketing firm who is looking to outsource some portions of client work to another group, my company. (company = just me and a few contractors under an llc) **They initially only wanted a 2-3 in house employees, I applied to the job knowing this and then value propositioned them into considering an agency instead.
The deal: 12 months of service. Anywhere between 5-15 clients, about 1k/mo per.
I hit it off with the company's owner out the gate over the phone and we had many personal traits and such in common- she also liked my life story of hustling, etc . I think this is the strongest point right now that could land me this deal. Right now I've sold them on me- but will they be sold on actually doing business?
Here are potential roadblocks:
- I am 22, turning 23 on the day of the meeting. They know my age and seem enthusiastic about it but will it cause them to hesitate to do this deal?
- I work 40+ hours a week at a fancy day job. They know this but are fascinated by it. I have only 3 reliable contractors and I would need about 2 more to handle the full 15 client accounts. They think the small team thing is cool now but will it come off as amateurish and blow the deal?
- My company is 2 months old, in llc age. I freelanced and did various work like this in the past but it hasn't ever been official until just 2 months ago. I have no clue how to angle it if I'm asked.
- I have a very limited portfolio, most work in the past were odd jobs around digital marketing that can't really be used as example. I do have the experience personally, but putting it in a bite sized context is a little rough.
Anyways, this could be a life changing deal right here and it just wouldn't be right heading into it without getting some insight from FLF.
