Get Clients from Clients

Referral guide

The nice thing about freelancing is the ability to chop and change what you’re working on.

Do you like to learn?

You need to learn a lot of business skills as well as the skills around your offer or service.

I am learning everyday as I try to grow my web design business Karv Web Studio (follow us on LinkedIn to show your support)

I’m noticing more and more that building the personal connections with clients is leading to more business. Maintaining these relationships can be pretty easy by just checking in every no and then.

Here is an email you can use to generate some referrals that I adapted from Joana Galvao (a web agency owner here in Porto).

Hey [Name],

I was just updating my portfolio and was reminded of our project together—thanks again for trusting me with it. It was truly one of the most <insert true description> projects I've worked on, and collaborating with you was a pleasure!

I've been thinking about working with more clients like you, <insert description about the client>. So, if you know anyone who might benefit from <insert benefit provided>, feel free to introduce us.

And if there's anything I can do for you, please let me know!

Best,
[Your Name]
