Just two months into 2025, and success is already off the charts!

Feb 14 • Wins

Asalamu Alaykum everyone. I just wanted to share my 2025 updates regarding my freelancing/entrepreneurship journey so far.

After a challenging Q4, I reflected on my freelancing journey and the factors behind my lack of results.

Was it my offer that needed to be refined?

Was I just terrible at sales?

Is the market saturated?

I was managing to get my ideal clients on sales calls due to my relentless outbound client acquisition technique.

But there was an issue...

Every sales call seemed to end the same way: excitement, a vague promise to follow up, and then complete silence.

I decided to have a chat with one of my mentors who runs a successful IT Tech company, and he left me with one profound advice where he said: " Make saying yes easy."

And it suddenly clicked for me.

Offer clear next steps. Instead of leaving the call open-ended, for example, say -->

“Let’s get started today. I’ll send over the agreement, and we can have everything in place by [date]. Sound good?”

The results?

Halfway through Q1, and I've closed 4 clients from different countries (Bulgaria, Saudi Arabia, the UK, and Canada) and niches (SMMA, Website Optimization, E-commerce, and Email Copywriting), along with having a few more potential deals in the pipeline heading into the second half of Q2.

What did I learn through all this?

Don't be afraid or shy enough to talk about your struggles—one insight could change everything.

How is your 2025 going so far?

P.S. A few Pivot2Tech members recently visited Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and I had the opportunity to sit down and discuss all things business with them, one of them being Mr.Pivot2Tech himself. 👀
