Wpblab - A Wordpress Social Media Show

In this episode, Jason and Bridget will chat about cold calling — the good, bad, and the ugly. How do you do this in the WordPress ecosystem effectively without sounding like a used car salesman? No-one likes cold calling at first – it feels slimy – how to do it right? The problem: How do you let people know that you’re accepting clients? How do people know if you’re available? Are you advertising? For a regular brick and mortar business, people will just stop in and hire you, but if you’re an online-only business, how do you reach people? How do they know if you are accepting business? Everybody in the WordPress space has the potential to be everyone else’s competitor – how can you reach out / connect? Everyone has a specialty or a focus – you can refer business to friends/connections that you know that handle a different specialty. If you know your limits, you can refer out work to other people you know through your networking/connections and they can do the same for you. Bridget would see jobs posted on
