Hello guys,
I'm asking you this question today because it is something that I know for a fact is difficult.
When approaching future customers to sell them a service you just started offering, they will often ask to see examples of what you can do and what you did for other people before them. Whether you're selling websites, chatbots, software development, graphic design, etc.
I tried to offer my services for a lower price by admitting that I want to grow my portfolio and that I'm starting to monetize a specific service, but business owners seem to always prefer someone more expensive but with proven skills.
What would you advise in this case? How to approach my potential first customer with enough confidence to convince him that he can trust my services when he is my first customer?
If anybody can relate and help me to overcome this situation it would be great!
