[00:01] social media marketing or management services to clients. Do this, do that. Everyone tells you this on YouTube. But no one breaks down the process as to how to get a client? So in the last few weeks I signed a social [00:14] media management client using Lindin. Worth ₹1,20,849.76 process, live call, recording bits and payment proof in this video [00:27] , so that you too get confidence that things are possible. So let's start. Let's do it. things are possible. So let's start. Let's do it. in social media management for a long time and must have a lot of client closing [00:40] experience. Well, it's not like that. I have never been very interested in social media management. Till date, I have signed only two clients in the last eight years and that too from India. So everything was going to be new for me too. So let's start from the beginning. [00:53] These are all the steps we had to take. Step one, choose a niche for your social media management services. Step two, optimizing your Lindin profile. Step three, do client outreach, step four, book meetings [01:06] and step five, finally collect your payment. But at that time I did not know that payment also had to be collected. What are you talking about? Well, the first thing we had to do was find a niche that had very little competition. Look, [01:21] whether you make cold calls, cold emails, or use Instagram or LinkedIn. You win half the battle when you pick the right niche. I knew that in the social media management industry, people get excited and start reaching out to either [01:33] cafes, restaurants, dentists, or gyms. But the problem with that is that the competition becomes very high. All these businesses keep getting calls to sell SMS services. [01:46] So, we had to pick our niche smartly and for that, of course, we used GPT. Coming to JPT, we simply asked who would be the best low competition niche to close social media management clients on Lindin, give me a list and JPT [02:01] gave us a complete list. Well, after doing a lot of research, this category stood out to me the most: car shipping or auto transport. For those who don't know, when you have to shift your car somewhere or suppose you are shifting from one place to another [02:15] either because of job or any other reason, then these car shipping companies help you. Did you understand? Great. So the first task was done. Now the second step was to optimize your Lindin profile. Now look guys, my [02:29] Lindin profile was optimized for performance marketing as you can see. So I had to change it temporarily according to SM. But I did not make any major changes in it. Just for some time, I removed the no upfront cost section in the headline [02:42] time, I removed the no upfront cost section in the headline Scaling Affiliate Programs plus Social Media Management. But you will have to change everything. Good headline, good banner, optimized about section, four to five [02:57] posts which should be well written. Even if you do n't have experience, you can still show experience in your own company. Like I have shown here. Right? Skills and mostly a professional photo is all you need. Now [03:11] why didn't I optimize my profile more? Well because I was doing it just as an experiment. Well, when my profile was already optimized for an industry, my profile was already optimized for an industry, [03:24] Ok. But why didn't I create a new profile ? Then well, if I had created a new profile, so that some followers and connections could be visible on my profile. Right? And all that took a lot of time. But you will have to send a connect request so that your [03:39] profile looks more trustworthy and professional. You will have to do everything. Age SR's case: You may keep having fever, cold, keep getting troubled , you will have to do everything. So step two is also complete. Now step three [03:52] was to start your outreach process. And for this, first I had to prepare a spreadsheet of all the car companies and their Lindin profiles. And how did we do that? Well simply we went on Google and [04:07] Shipping Companies in Los Angeles, New York, Texas, Chicago etc. So New York, Texas, Chicago etc. So Now that we had the list available. The next thing we had to do was [04:23] next thing we had to do was set inside my favorite cafe, got locked in and started the process. By the Way Guys, if you have a website while doing outreach, your credibility increases even more. [04:37] Whether you are selling social media growth services to clients or any other service, you must have a portfolio website. But how will you make that? Well, you can simply do that with Hostinger's AI website builder. Like [04:50] I come here to Hostinger and select my plan. I select the duration. I use coupon code Shiv20 and after completing the payment I come to Hostinger's AI website builder and after coming here I just have to write a prop [05:05] which I had created using GPT and Hostinger AI website builder will quickly create an amazing website for you, you can also customize it further, everything is easily drag and drop, almost like Canv, so there is no problem, [05:19] so I quickly do that and this is the final portfolio website as you can see, it looks very sleek and very professional.

And now back to the video. So simply we opened our list. video. So simply we opened our list. Then went to the company's Lindin profile. [05:47] Then clicked on Employees. Opened the founder's profile. Clicked on the connect button. Clicked on Add Note and then this is the script we used in Message [Music]. Hey First Name Wanted To Discuss Two Quick Ideas On Company [06:03] Names Social Media Presence Since Your Competitors Like A&B Are Killing It. Let's talk. And after drafting the message, we simply clicked on send. So one by one we started addressing all the other companies also. On Lindin, you [06:18] can send messages to a limited number of people who are not connected to you on the platform in a day. So, we sent messages to as many people as we could with connection requests. And we sent connection requests to everyone else. [06:30] So on the first day we covered 74 companies and then gradually covered the entire list in two-three days. So you can see cold DMs on DMs and connection requests on connection requests. But was there any benefit from the hard work? The answer is yes. [06:44] We had two clients show interest. A client told us to tell me more and then I said let's schedule a quick call and I'll walk you through it. But there was no further response from him even after multiple follow-ups. Another client [06:57] showed interest and our call was also booked as you can see. so what's next? We just had to wait for the call. And finally the call happened. The call lasted very long. But I will place some important bits here. You [07:12] here. You can listen for yourself. We have someone else on your and shiva no it's just my notes ai note [07:26] on my and my partner David and the head of my IT team George gonna meet I send I think they tell me a little about yourself man yes I did research about you know logic [07:39] man yes I did research about you know logic but or I would love to you know or David joy moment I guess so okay let [07:54] you about the company we do when we start we are looking for so David is my managing partner like we managing partner like we started together eight years before the [08:09] started together eight years before the company before we have been similar businesses like company before we have been similar businesses like wire associated businesses then we decided wire associated businesses then we decided brokerage so our company brokerage company we [08:22] brokerage so our company brokerage company we started 2018 we do we ship vehicles like motorcycles heavy equipment anything more like and anything nation [08:34] heavy equipment anything more like and anything nation United States move from Colorado to New York and something you don't give up your car you can hire me [08:47] you don't give up your car you can hire me basic idea bihba you do that long time you know what It's exactly about so for sure it's [09:07] the result we will talk everything but of course the way is interesting because we share our experience to if we know exactly how it is maybe we can make something better you know [09:22] but the same time we don't always time you do that you know you do that so if we always question time you do that you know you do that so if we always question you try to push our ideas we may you know it might be a little hurt [09:45] perfect so I think it's again as I said I will just have to do two or three things and then I will come back to you guys and then if you guys give a thumbs up we will get started if not we will really wait a couple months and then get started from there you will bring [10:00] the good numbers so again it's all about the cost money so as you could already listen guys the call went quite well. At least I think [10:12] I broke down the social media strategies of their competitors on the call and they liked everything very much. The discussion about well pricing continued through our emails. I continued through our emails. I quoted $00 but by the time the deal came [10:26] So I thought time was wasted here too. But then he gives a positive response. I send the contract with the help of Bonzai. The client signs the contract and I get the payment on March 4th. If you [10:40] linked it in the description below. And now I will also give you the payment proof. So I open Wise. And as you can see guys ₹120849.76 [10:54] also show you the transaction details by opening it. As you can clearly see and I will also open the email and show it from Vice. So you can see guys, I'll even hit refresh on this once. So it was a process that took more than two weeks, but it was worth it. While it may [11:08] not be an exciting amount for me, it gives you a little confidence that you too can earn money by selling social media management services to clients. Then it's a worthwhile video for me. I would say that if your English [11:21] target international clients because you will get very good rates. But there is no dearth of clients in India too. If you If you want to learn cold calling then you can take ideas from this video. [11:36] If you want to know how to get clients from [music] Instagram, and you've already seen Lindin's.
