Finding New Prospects and Clients
Q3. How do you find new prospects and clients? @WriteOnOnline @TheDEBMethod #GoalChat pic.twitter.com/2E2YbPPZXB
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) May 21, 2018
A3. I get most of my goal coaching clients through referrals. Either that or it’s someone I met a while back who reaches out when they need my help completing a project! #GoalChat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) May 21, 2018
A3 I connect with new people and talk about what I do. I can decipher pretty early on if they are going to be in my IC bucket or if they are time-suckers #GoalChat
— Marisa Cali (@allthesocial) May 21, 2018
A2) Mostly it’s word of mouth. The newsletter list keeps growing, so that must be getting passed around. #GoalChat
— Tom Reid (@_TomGReid) May 21, 2018
A3. I don’t seek out prospects and clients. I’m fortunate that people have continued to seek my input/my advice either by my longevity in my profession or thru social media conversations or my role as the @CoSIDAnews Job Seekers Committee Chairperson. #goalchat
— Danny Kambel (@DannyKambel) May 21, 2018
A3. Working on that via marketing. #GoalChat
— April (@aprilemaye) May 21, 2018
Working on a strategy now. Have been off and on but now I’m more focused and I’m refining it. #GoalChat
— April (@aprilemaye) May 21, 2018
That’s fantastic. Better to take time to plan it out than scramble! #goalchat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) May 21, 2018
I know I can stand to be more organized. One of the reasons that I’ve joined this chat. #GoalChat
— Danny Kambel (@DannyKambel) May 21, 2018
Q3b. What’s your best “met a client this way” story? #goalchat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) May 21, 2018
I met my most recent book coaching client at an event I spoke at in 2015. We started working together last month. #goalchat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) May 21, 2018
A3b. I’ve been fortunate to meet many great colleagues but one of my longest standing social media friendship is someone I met on a flight. She runs a moving company and has been a great resource in that area in job transition. #GoalChat
— Danny Kambel (@DannyKambel) May 21, 2018
A3) in my line of work, I tend to join the new company when the current firm loses the contract! #GoalChat

A4. I am a huge fan of blogging. Plus I have an active FB group (https://t.co/D38rtwcgnM) and page (https://t.co/BKv5f2Aw0h). I like doing spontaneous videos, but want to create more. Oh, and now I also have #GoalChat @WriteOnOnline @TheDEBMethod
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) May 21, 2018
A4. I’ve started to integrate more visual media into my messaging. Examples ⤵ #GoalChat pic.twitter.com/mu1S8SZj0G
— Danny Kambel (@DannyKambel) May 21, 2018
A4. Sharing writing advice & tips through tweets. Plan to post short stories to my blog site. #GoalChat
— Jon Duckworth (@Duck_n_Pulpit) May 21, 2018
A4) The newsletter about every two weeks and a regular blog post. Want to get back to video, but all in good time. #goalchat
— Tom Reid (@_TomGReid) May 21, 2018
Also good news, my new VA got all the blogs reposted to Medium, got one staged for #MondayBlogs, and should have one reposted to LinkedIn this week. #GoalChat
— Tom Reid (@_TomGReid) May 21, 2018
A4 All the content types… Blogs, videos, quick videos for LinkedIn, tweets, long-form posts, podcasts, pinterest boards but my favorite to create VISUAL content like this👇 #GoalChat pic.twitter.com/5F6GHa8nj2
— Marisa Cali (@allthesocial) May 21, 2018
Hi Danny, thanks for asking. I use a variety of tools mostly @AdobeSpark. I use my mobile phone to create native videos for LinkedIn and to edit in music/filters. #GoalChat What tools do you use?
— Marisa Cali (@allthesocial) May 21, 2018
Looks cool! Can you have branded images in there? I don’t have iPad/iPhone otherwise I’d try it out… I like following a specific theme/colors in my visual media. 🙂
Photoshop is when I want to create something to print too.. Love that app! #GoalChat
— Marisa Cali (@allthesocial) May 21, 2018
Tom: I’m a novice. However, if I can help don’t hesitate to ask. #GoalChat

I’ll check it out once I’m done recording this new podcast episode 🙂 Talk with you soon! #GoalChat
— Marisa Cali (@allthesocial) May 21, 2018
A4: currently working on a possible podcast and youtube. #GoalChat
— April (@aprilemaye) May 21, 2018
Podcast? Wow! I am a HUGE proponent/addict of Podcasts AND I am listening to episode #8 of yours right now! Would love to see you revive it! (maybe a GOAL?? 😋)
Also, sorry I missed the chat yesterday! My job is reactive and I had to react during the chat. #goalchat

Tips for Business Development
Q5. What tips do you have for business development? @WriteOnOnline @TheDEBMethod #GoalChat pic.twitter.com/QZaf33neGU
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) May 21, 2018
A5. You never know where your next lead may originate, so connect with everyone you meet. Be out there, be helpful, but don’t be too salesy. Relationship development is long-term. #GoalChat
— ⭐ #GoalChat ⭐ (@GoalChat) May 21, 2018
A5. Accountability and responsibility. Listen and learn. #GoalChat
— Danny Kambel (@DannyKambel) May 21, 2018
A5. Know your niche. Become an expert. Know your clients. Ask questions. #GoalChat
— Jon Duckworth (@Duck_n_Pulpit) May 21, 2018
Q5: stay true to your vision! #GoalChat
— April (@aprilemaye) May 21, 2018
A5) I may not be the best one to ask. I rely too much on my experience and reputation to generate WOM marketing. #goalchat. Probably time to be rethinking that approach.
— Tom Reid (@_TomGReid) May 21, 2018
