Here's how you can grow your network and attract new clients as a self-employed individual.
One thing I learnt recently is that every business has a brand, know it or not. How you are perceived, felt, your interactions and behaviour with clients is your business brand. And as the popular saying goes "if you don't give people a story, they will feature you in their theirs" the big question is "what story are you selling about your business?" What perception are you giving off to potential clients? Work on this by infusing your unique value proposition and voila, you hit jackpot!
