Here are 3 ways to generate some business quickly:

1. Email/Tweet/Facebook Friends and Family

Often our friend and family don’t really know what we do. So send them a quick email or post on your facebook page telling them what you do and that you are happy for them to forward your details onto other people who may be in need of your product/service.

2. Follow Up Old Enquiries & Current Prospects

Look up all your enquiries and quotes made over the last 12months and those that didn’t convert, give them a call or email. Send them a “tip” on how your product/service can help their business.

3. Current Clients

Create a special offer just for your current clients and have a cut off date to encourage quick action. Let them know that it is just for current clients – make them feel special

What have you done that has resulted in getting business in quickly?
