The #1 cause of companies going out of business? Lack of sales.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The #1 cause of you not<\/strong> making more money? Leaving your day job? Helping more people?<\/p>\n

Lack of sales.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Today, I’m going to teach you how to avoid that and land your first $3,000 per month contract.<\/p>\n

I’ll do so by showing you something I am currently selling and how I am doing it.<\/p>\n

What I am trying to sell<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Most of you know that Videofruit<\/a> is a blog that teaches business owners how to use video to grow their business, but it’s also a services company. I work with a handful of businesses implementing the formulas<\/a> that I write about on the blog.<\/p>\n

Providing services does 3 things:<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Vets the formulas so they are not just some pie in the sky idea, but proven strategies.<\/li>\n
  2. Gives me a fresh supply of new ideas and real world experience.<\/li>\n
  3. Brings in good money.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    One of the services I offer is a weekly video blog series.<\/p>\n

    Have you ever seen ‘Whiteboard Friday<\/a>‘ by Moz? Like that.<\/p>\n

    Every week I make a new video blog post that is around 3-6 minutes long and is educational in nature. I started this 6 months ago and my first client was KISSmetrics<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    \"4_Critical_Reports_You_Should_be_Looking_at_to_Maximize_Your_Facebook_Marketing\"

    And until now they’ve been the only client that I do this for. However, I would like to change that.<\/p>\n

    The big question is…HOW?<\/p>\n

    How I am doing it<\/strong><\/h1>\n

    Good ole’ fashion email. No twitter, no blog, no facebook, just email.<\/p>\n

    Here is my exact approach<\/p>\n

    Step 1:<\/strong> Make a list of potential clients<\/h2>\n

    My target customer for this isn’t your average blogger but companies with at least $5-10 million in yearly revenue and are most likely ventured back. They update their blogs daily and are looked at as industry leaders in their field.<\/p>\n

    Basically, they need to be BIG on blogging and not scared of spending some money.<\/p>\n

    A months worth of videos can cost between $2,000 and $4,000 (there are quite a few variables).<\/em><\/p>\n

    I started with companies I already had connections to. Companies that I either did business with or followed closely.<\/p>\n

    I created a new note in Evernote a few weeks back and slowly kept adding to it over the last 2 weeks.<\/p>\n
