Don’t you just hate it when you receive a cold pitch? You know, that copy-and-paste email or DM, where it’s clear from the start that the person didn’t visit your profile or bother to learn anything about what you do or who your clients are. So despite all the social media gurus telling you that you must be chasing your ideal clients in their DMs, I say: “It’s time to ditch the cold pitch, bish!”

There is a better way to find clients and grow your business than annoying people with cold pitches that will just end up being deleted anyway. In today’s podcast episode I tell you more about that, so listen as I share with you why I would never recommend sending out cold pitches to my clients, what I would recommend instead, a recent experience I had with cold pitching that left a sour taste in my mouth but I learned a lot from, and much more!

In this episode, I chat about:
  • Why I don’t recommend cold pitching in the DMs
  • Ways that you can use DMs to make friends and get clients
  • An experience with a cold pitch I received that inspired me to record this episode
  • How I responded to that cold pitch
  • My process and timeline of working with clients
  • A few tips and my approach to cold pitching via DMs
  • The quicker and easier way to grow your business
