LESSON 4.3 - 3 Ways to Get Clients: Cheerleading
Why Cheerlead Your Prospects?
It’s simple…
We’re gonna use the power of dopamine.
It’s that organic chemical released into the brain whenever you feel good — the same chemical stimulated when people have sex or use drugs.
In short, you’re gonna make them feel good…
Enough to be addicted to YOU.
Not only that, we’re gonna use one of the most powerful agents of persuasion…
RECIPROCITY.
…That deep-rooted psychological urge to do something nice in return.
And most of the time, the reciprocation of a simple gesture is mostly greater than the original good deed which is what we are banking on.
How To Cheerlead Your Prospects
Remember the previous lesson where you sent those connection requests and listed down your Top 100?
This is where all those connections come into play.
Regardless where your prospect is (Facebook, LinkedIn, Google, etc.), all you have to do is make your presence felt by getting their attention.
They posted a win inside a group?
Like the post and congratulate them.
One of the people you are following posted a family pic?
Like the pic and tell them they have a lovely family.
They posted a new blog article?
Comment on the blog itself and tell them your takeaways.
Online guru you want to work with sent an email?
Reply back with a quick praise for their outstanding content.
Someone asked a question that falls within your specialty or service?
Leave an EPIC comment.
Your only goal is to be that tiny blip on their radar and do it enough times that they have no choice but to notice you.
If You Do This Right…
Your connection request and friend request rates go up from 20% to around 70-80%.
That’s because there’s already built-in trust when you’ve barely even said a word.
Think about it…
Who would you add as a ‘friend’?
Someone who just randomly added you?
Or the guy who at one time or another liked and commented on your post when no one was engaging? 🙂

Hello Tribemates…
I'm just dropping by to share some of my utang na wins. Hehe
This year (despite the pandemic) I was able to hit 7 figures.
And if you check the month of April, I almost hit Php 800,000. Nang tinotal ko kasama ng pumpasok sa bank account...
Shocks, I hit my first 7 digits in a month.
Plus...
Another 7 figure income in the month of August. Yey!
My little sister naman, she closed a $10/hr client sa upwork. Ng ka-edad ko palang sya, takot ako mag-charge ng $5/hour hahahaha. Nakakatuwa kasi...
Lahat na kami freelancers... as in lahat ng kapatid ko freelancers na!!!! Yahooo!
Noon, ayaw nila maniwala na totoo ang freelancing.
But now, they are enjoying and earning from freelancing na.
Grabeeee...
Noon pangarap ko lang lahat to--- earning 7 figures in a month, giving my parents whatever they deserve, and helping my siblings see the value in freelancing....
Pero ngayon… lahat ng yan nagkakatotoo na! Sobrang nakakataba ng puso.
Guys, it may take a while to make your dreams come true but if you stick with your dreams and goals, they will surely happen.
Just trust yourself and the process.
