From social media management for a local football team to dedicating a life to growing the world’s largest educational company ‘GrowYourAgency’, at the age of twenty-one Gadzhi has a net worth of over twenty-five million dollars. We’ve come up with some top tips on how to sign a client, with the inside knowledge from the educational entrepreneur.
Take any opportunity to promote and gain recognition
Gadzhi began his career path by offering social media management for his local football team, which was soon recognised by his peers and online media followers. The entrepreneur started getting requests for informal mentorships and commissioned work which catalysed his passion for content creation and the internet community.
It’s important to take advantage of any opportunities that come your way to leverage your brand.
Reach out to potential clients
The entrepreneur started to gain more confidence after pitching to his first client and often used YouTube to post videos of old proposals. Now, Gadzhi has changed his business tactics and doesn’t share proposals to group meetings or offer discounts. ‘Getting clients really at this point is more about making sure that I can deliver a quality service and I can scale rather than worrying where the next retainer is going to come.’
Gadzhi believes rapport with a client and making it very clear what his intentions are, is key to getting your business where you want it to go.
Create a landing page
A landing page is a space on your website that is made to convert visitors into leads and Gadzhi has made a point on his social media channels that it’s important to have this, so it’s structured for clients and makes it easier to receive information.
Do your research before making a move
‘Any name I do some research and I look into their company records, how much money they’re making, how many employees they have, and if I can tell they’re going to be a very profitable claim.’
