Dealing with the fear of finding clients...

Hi,


Whether you’ve been in the travel industry for donkey years or you are just starting


The truth is, finding new clients is hard…


Just like, when I started cold calling


I had my anxiety days


Some mornings I didn’t want to hear no one’s voice


On some days, my heartbeat increased because I wasn’t sure if the person on the other end will yell or end the call abruptly


In all its forms this can be totally discouraging

 

But you’d always have something you’re unsure of

In your pursuit of finding paying clients


What then do you do to overcome this fear?


👉 Appreciate what you are currently doing now, have you been sending emails, doing SEO or just built your website? You've done well.


Reminds me of David, a renowned marketer he had just traveled to Thailand and climbed one of the highest mountains in the area and one of the experiences on the mountain was cooking eggs on a volcano.


He narrated how stressful it was to climb the mountain but the moment he got up and saw the beauty of the landscape


He forgot the stress of climbing the mountain and he immediately began to ask the tour guide what mountain is higher than the just climbed.


The tour guide responded and said “ Mr. David, appreciate where you are now and revel in its glory.”


👉 Understand your travelers 


👉 Figure out what platforms they are on, you can start with multiple and stick with only the ones that works for you 


👉 Prepare your mind to fail forward, marketing is all about testing.


👉 Decide what kind of marketing you want to start with and commit to doing it daily.


That’s it!


See you next Friday!
