INTRO
Hi everyone
After reading a lot of progress/execution threads on here, I have decided to start my own. Here's a brief introduction:
- 22 years old
- Live in Scotland
- Have a 1 year old son
- Have started a digital marketing agency
- We offer social media management, SEO, reputation management and web design. We also do Facebook Ads
- Majority of work is going to be outsourced online
- Currently have a client on 2 month free trial (SMM client with Facebook ads, £1000/month if client wants to stay and payment for free trial backdated) - ends on 26 August
- Business largely resembles @Sean Marshall's guide to starting a digital marketing agency thread with a few tweaks
- Have received a testimonial from previous trial client but don't know how to use it effectively
What I Do Each Day
Currently my daily tasks look like this
- Look for potential clients to contact
- Cold email 5-10 businesses
- Read (currently: Fanatical Prospecting and TFLF)
- Do work for trial client
I am aware my daily tasks are pathetic and need a shake. I am looking to add cold calls to my list, more cold emails and networking events too. Currently still work a 9-5 so struggle to cold call during the week.
Goal
- £5k in monthly recurring revenue (by 31 December 2019)
Problems
- Marketing/prospecting properly and efficiently
- Too much action-faking
- Free trial client not impressed with work done (even though I generated 32 leads in 2 weeks using one Facebook Ad)
- Same client possibly wants to meet in my office (...i don't have an office) on Monday as he's in my area
Tomorrow's Goals
- Cold call 10 businesses
- Cold email 20 businesses
- Look for and sign up to local networking event
- Sort out packages offered
I am going to try to update this as regularly as possible (hopefully daily or bi-daily) with the first one starting tomorrow, so you can all hold me accountable
Feedback, no matter how harsh, is always appreciated
Thanks for reading
