Update: Landed my first solo client pitch yesterday
After 4 months of cold calling and shadowing, I finally led a full presentation on my own. The client signed a 6-month contract right there in the room. Anyone else remember that first real win that made all the rejection worth it?
Congrats man that's huge. Something that helped me close a few early ones was to always bring a printed leave behind with a clear timeline of what happens next. Keeps them from getting cold feet after you walk out the door. Also don't be afraid to call out their pain points during the pitch, clients respect when you show you actually listened to their problems.
