10 reasons why you NEED to start pitching your web design/development services

Coming in HOT with a blog post that is equal parts motivation and tough love :)

We’re going to talk all about pitching your web design and development services and why it’s something you need to start doing TODAY.

There’s no doubt in my mind that by the time you reach the bottom of this blog post, I’ll have you totally convinced that pitching your services is the most effective marketing strategy, and it’s something you need to implement in your own business starting today if you want to see great results.

I am a massive advocate for taking inspired action in business. Whether you want to work with dream clients - trust me, they’re out there! - , make more money, develop a swoon-worthy portfolio, or generally get the most enjoyment out of the work you do, pitching will fast-track everything.

But I’ve got to tell you, pitchin’ ain’t easy.

Yes, pitching will get you in front of the right potential clients a heck of a lot faster than other marketing methods and is known to have a higher conversion rate… but that doesn’t mean that it’s simple or straightforward work. If it was, everyone would be doing it!

The fact of the matter is that pitching is a real skill and it requires a lot of strategy, resilience and proactive behaviour. But from my own experience, I can tell you that it pays off like you wouldn’t believe.

If you’re on the fence about pitching and wonder if it’s something you should try out, or if it could work for you, then I’m here to give you a friendly shove in the right direction. Pitching your services WILL work for you too and the fastest way to get the results you want is to simply get started.

Let’s take a look.

Pitching is something that differentiated me from many of my fellow web designers/developers, particularly those who specialize in custom Squarespace websites, and as a result I’ve received SO many requests for advice or tips. People want to try pitching out and see how it might work for their own business, but many of them don’t know where to start. They know that similar results are likely but beyond that, it’s not something many other people are talking about.

I’m thrilled to announce that my GUIDE TO PITCHING YOUR WEB DESIGN/DEVELOPMENT SERVICES is now live!
