About 3 years ago I was introduced to a friend of a friend named Nathan who runs a successful window-cleaning business in the Chicagoland area. At that point in time, Nathan had been doing it for about 2 years or so and was relatively established in window cleaning terms, while I on the other hand had really just started and was struggling to get my footing. This is important to remember because at that time Nathan despite my pitch to him wasn't interested in growing his business through my services, but I understood given our situation at that exact moment in time as he preferred somebody more established.
Not a big deal to me, and if you fast forward through time we would both continue down our respective paths as Nathan continued window washing, while I continued to grow my SEO business one client at a time. Here's the important part though, despite Nathans's hesitancy to work with me I never closed my doors to him often times asking him about business if I saw him (not a sales pitch) and as we got closer I even gave him my number and fielded any questions he would bring my way not necessarily to sell him but just some help from one friend to the next.
As this continued, over time I could tell the relationship between us had grown stronger, and since I now had a reputable business where I could show him my previous successes it didn't seem unrealistic that we would end up working together much as it did in the past. Long story short, after seeing a client post I had made on Facebook he actually sent me a text the other day asking me to shoot him a quote for my services and we officially inked the deal today! I'm excited not only because it's a new client but also because this sale wasn't based on any pitch or crazy tactics it was just two people who have similar mindsets coming together after years of work. Hopefully, it all goes well and I'll keep you guys updated!
