I work with local businesses and connect them with affluent homeowners in their target market. I publish a private monthly publication that includes a digital touch. I service 4,000 homes a month, approx 5,000 people and it is working very well!
Do something creative on social media. Perhaps publish an infographic explaining the benefits of your services and the issues that arise by not having them  .and display your contact information and offer a free consultations and free quotes after the free consultation and quote ask for referrals. and reschedule a zoom with the previous client who you gave the free quote to. 

Non profits are a powerful way to generate clients. Like Make-A-Wish foundation, where you approach people asking for donations to help a child with cancer. Then, give them your business card with details on your business. This way you are perceived as helping people in need, and it gives you a great way to hand out your cards without seeming pushy.

Joining Rotary and related groups can also be a valuable networking resource.

For the past 40 years I have worked with Independent Property Casualty Agents. They have the relationships already established with clients and what you need to do is to show them what services you can provide to themselves as an agent and to their clients. The one thing I have learned is not to talk about product but focus on services. The sale of product will come along with the services provided, since the service will develop the needs for specific products.

I would join a DNI, join to Chamber, invest in your internet site and add a personal video of how you can help others with your business..testimonials are always favorable..I could show you how to set a marketing budget, develop a branding strategy..there’s many ways to expand your influence…I hope that helps…

I found that developing relationships with professionals in complimentary industries has helped a lot. I would love to connect to learn more about you, your business and tell you more about what I do

Find people that compliment with what you do and work together. I work with lots of advisors to promote to d each other’s services.   let me know if you want to learn more
