Developer lands first client from cold email

So spaketh Filip:

“The cold email course is pure gold! [It] brought me the first client that I’ve reached out to. It was amazing. Thanks a lot for the value you offer us.”

1 email. 1 client.

Told you.

Haha… sorry, but I can’t help but rub it in the face of all the negative nancy’s that constantly natter on about how “cold email doesn’t work, duuuuh”… when they’ve never actually taken the time to learn what I teach…

Let alone actually TRY it.

No hard feelings, but you’re just wrong.

As you can see, we’re not blasting out thousands of random emails to anybody and everybody. Targeted, personalized emails to *highly qualified* leads. That really is the big “secret” to this.

Of course, will Filip continue to bat 1,000 with his emails?

No.

But, if he keeps doing it my way, his “conversion rate” will likely continue to be high.

And, when you realize that I show you how to find hundreds, potentially even thousands, of qualified leads… let’s just say you convert at a 25% rate. So, only 1 of every 4 people you contact ends up hiring you.

If you have 200 qualified leads…

Which is very easy to get with my method…

That’s 50 new clients.

Roughly 4 per month over the next year.

And, that’s the low-end.

You’ll see in the course there’s the potential to find thousands of *highly* qualified premium clients using the method I show you. Not broke clients who will pester you about every penny. Clients with money.

Who are more than happy to pay for a quality service provider.

Can you imagine how that would change your business… and your life?

Of course, let’s bring this back down to Earth. Nothing is guaranteed. The first 10 people you reach out to might say no. And, you have to qualify your leads the right way. You have write your email the right way.

You have to execute the appointment the right way.

You have to actually be good (not great) at the service you provide.

There’s lots of variables.

But, if you can follow instructions and you know what you’re doing on the “delivering your service” side of things, then I dare say… this might just be the quickest and easiest method to start getting new clients.

And growing your freelance business.

No platform to appease.

No mountain of content to create.

No douchey “bro” at a networking event to suck up to.

Just you, the client and an email.

Anyway, this won’t be for everybody. Some people think they already have all the answers and scoff at anything outside their personal comfort zone. To them, cold email sounds like murdering puppies.

But, if you’re open-minded like Filip.

You can get the course right now over on Skillshare. I’ve put it there to give everybody a crack at it regardless of your financial situation. If you’re a Skillshare member already, the link below will take you straight into the course.

It’s Lesson #3 here: https://myjohn.us/coldemail

If you’re not a Skillshare member yet, that link will trigger a 14-day trial for you. What some people have done is start the trial, take the course (and any others on the site) and then cancel before the 14 days is up.

And they end up getting the course for free.

Up to you on that.

I’d encourage to invest in your education long-term and get a full account. But, that’s totally up to you. At the very least, you can give the site a test drive and see what you think. Just be sure to take all MY courses cause they’re the best! Haha.

Anyway, link again is here: https://myjohn.us/coldemail

Later,

John

I started this 3 days ago, following John’s suggestions, and I gained the Upwork Rising Talent badge in less than 2 days. I have a call with my first potential client tomorrow. Thanks, John!

John is the man! I followed his steps and I am flooded with interviews in a week. I got into two Talent clouds. The very next day, I got an invitation from the talent specialists from Upwork and a lot more. I wanna shout out, he is the best in this. Thanks John for helping me out!

After viewing John’s course, I made an Upwork account and it got approved the same day. Amazingly, I got my first job the very same day, I couldn’t believe it, I thought maybe I got it by coincidence. Anyways I completed the job and received my first earnings. Then, after two days, I got another job and within a week I got 3 jobs and completed them successfully. All the things he says seem to be minute but have a very great impact on your freelancing career.

I’ve been in an existential crisis for the last week about what the heck I’m doing as a business owner. Even though I’ve been a business for about a year, I’m constantly trying to think of how to prune and refine services. This was very personable and enjoyable to watch. Usually, business courses like this are dry and hard to get through…. repeating the same things over and over again. This was a breath of fresh air. THANK YOU.

I’ve definitely learnt so much in 2.5 hours than I’d learn watching different videos online on Youtube and reading tons of articles on the web. John has a natural way of teaching, where he is passionately diving in the topics and he makes it very easy to grasp — someone who wants you to really start running your business well by learning about the right tools and implement them in your online business. I will definitely share with many of the people I know who have been struggling for so long, I did find my answers and I’m sure will do too.

I have been following John Morris for several years now. His instruction ranges from beginner to advanced, to CEO-level guidance. I have referred friends and clients to John, and have encouraged my own daughter to pay attention to what he says. All of his teachings create wealth for me (and happiness for my clients!) I can’t speak highly enough about John, his name is well known in my home.

Sukh Plaha

John is a fantastic and patient tutor, who is not just able to share knowledge and communicate it very effectively – but able to support one in applying it. However, I believe that John has a very rare ability to go further than just imparting knowledge and showing one how to apply it. He is able to innately provoke one’s curiosity when explaining and demonstrating concepts, to the extent that one can explore and unravel their own learning journey. Thanks very much John!

John has been the most important person in my freelance career ever since I started. Without him, I would have taken 10 or 20 years more to reach the position I am at now (Level 2 seller on Fiverr and Top Rated on Upwork).
