Q: In starting a new business, what’s the best way to grab your first 10 customers?
A: Short answer: You have to grind. What I mean by that is that you have to reach out to every single person you can. YOU JUST HAVE TO ASK. Go to every single potential customer out there and ask them to buy whatever it is you’re offering. If they say no, you learn, and you move on. It’s as simple as that.

Hey Gary! I have a question. I recently launched http://www.camelliakay.com which is a service where I help people grow their instagram following without using automation or bots. I've been able to drive about 30 people a day in the first two days and two people have my packages sitting in their cart. What's your advice on getting consumers to complete checkout? Thanks!
YES. Reach out to everyone you know! So many people are trying to build an online audience when they already have access to humans who would be a great fit.
This video is so great; such a simple tip to get started, but it's easily the best way to get those first ten customers! I hope you don't mind me sharing, but I recently did a podcast episode about getting more clients but specifically geared toward coaches and consultants. Maybe you will find it useful, or your audience! Check it out: http://trafficandleadspodcast.com/how-to-get-more-clients/

#Asking is the only way when your just starting out… and for quite a while afterwards. It really does boil down to doing the work and making the outbound calls. Great video by the way go watch it #puregold
BOOM. You don't ask you don't get. Too many times I see would-be entrepreneurs sitting behind a laptop waiting for people to come to them. Way to keep it real. (As always)
To Gary, or anyone else that may have an opinion. I have just started a business in videography working with businesses to promote their brand (in London). I have tried the cold calling route, but getting to speak to the boss is proving difficult. Do you think that cold calling is getting to be a thing of the past and if so, do you think that perhaps using direct messaging applications communications on such modes like linkedin and Instagram are the way forward? Seeing as the probability of speaking to the business owner will be higher? Thank you

This sounds like being a pusher, or a sleazy salesperson. Nobody likes spammers. So, I love Gary, but I'm not buying this one.
Hey will you buy my stuff?
