I lost a $800 Client... Here's how it happened :(
Don't do this mistake
Welcome to the 4th edition of “30 Min Ghostwriter“
Last time we discussed AI’s impact on Ghostwriting.
This week, we will be discussing the most exciting part of Ghostwriting, “Closing deals!"
Closing deals is an exciting and at the same time a challenging part too. Initially, I sucked at Closing deals which was a massive disaster.

A client told me that he’s not confident in my service because of my poor closing skill
However, once I learned about the art of closing deals, it became much easier and allowed me to close the right deals.

A recent client who is confident in my service & ready to pay in advance
Now, I’m going to share everything to make you a “Great closer!“
Come on! Let’s dive :)
Understand your ICP’s goals and needs:
Before you pitch your service, you need to do some research on your client’s industry, target audience, and pain points.
You also need to ask them about their objectives, expectations, and budget for their LinkedIn content.
This will help you tailor your proposal and demonstrate your value proposition.
Share your case studies:
Your LinkedIn profile is your portfolio, so make sure it reflects your writing style, areas of specialization, and previous work samples.
You can also create and share relevant content on LinkedIn to showcase your knowledge and insights on your client’s industry or topics of interest.
This will help you build your credibility and authority as a ghostwriter.
Ask for referrals:
One of the best ways to close deals is to have satisfied clients who can vouch for your work and recommend you to others.
You can ask your previous or current clients to write testimonials for your LinkedIn profile or to refer you to their network.
You can also offer incentives or discounts for referrals, to encourage word-of-mouth marketing.
Follow up:(atleast 4 times)
After you send your proposal, don’t just wait for a response.
You need to follow up and keep in touch with your leads until they make a decision.
You can use LinkedIn messages, emails, or calls to remind them of your offer, answer their questions, address their objections, and provide additional value.
With that, I’m wrapping up this week’s newsletter. If you love my newsletter, share it with your friends and have a great weekend!
