Episode 145: How to Get Unstuck – Daily Tips to Move Your Freelance Business Forward
10/02/2017Episode 147: Toxic Myths That Can Hold Us Back in Our Translation Business – Interview with Jenae Spry
10/16/2017Many of us would like our ideal clients to contact us instead of us having to chase them down. But that requires that they can easily find us. So what do we do if our prospects cannot find us or know why they should use our services? That is what I am discussing in this episode. I also discuss what to do if you feel like you are reaching out to prospects, but you never get to a yes, or you never hear back from them.
Important things covered in this episode:
- How do describe what problems you can solve for your ideal customers
- How to establish a brand
- Finding out where your customers discuss the problems you can solve, where they hang out
- What to do if the prospects you contact never call or email back
- How to get to a yes more quickly

Hello Tess,
I’m Olga, fluent in Russian, English, Spanish, Italian, German, and French. I enjoy your blog a lot, and have recently started listening to your podcast, which is also great?this episode is also full of valuable insights for me, especially about a “no” as a better answer than a “maybe”. So maybe in one of the next episodes, or in a blog post, you could elaborate more on how exactly to include them also in the sales funnel you mentioned briefly?
Thanks in advance, and have a great day!
Hi Olga, Thank you for your feedback and nice words. I am glad you are finding the podcast useful. I will take your suggestion and try and incorporate it in a later podcast sometime. You might also find more information in the book “How to get unstuck”.
