Want to know how to get and keep clients… push yourself to be the damn greatest you can ever be.
For new clients: Prepare to show a lot of good stuff that you’ve done for other clients (if you don’t have any then make up some projects and try to enforce real world constraints). Send them out to prospects… follow up, set up appointments, ooze energy and self-confidence, and really believe that by them hiring you, the product will be really successful.
To keep existing clients: If you treated your client fair and square, worked your ass off and really assisted them to create great products then this shouldn’t be an issue. Let them know that you really enjoyed working on that project, establish long-lasting relationships and let them know that you care… and sometimes a few tickets to baseballgames or something won’t kill your wallet…
