He had 60k sitting in his inbox

Published 11 days ago • 1 min read

Hey Reader,

Nassib is a motion designer with 20 years of experience in the industry.

He’d never had a system when it came to client outreach.

Never properly organised his client relationships.

Or maintained a systematic approach to follow ups.

Nassib finally went back through his email history as part of a Client Outreach Sprint we did inside Creative & Coin.

Buried in his inbox was a potential $60k project he never followed up on!

He learned the client did go ahead with that work.

Potentially $60k in lost work because he didn’t follow up.

What he did next:

Armed with systems from our Client Outreach Sprint.

He began systematically reaching out to warm leads and past clients.

The results were immediate.

A former school classmate responded to his LinkedIn outreach requesting an explainer video.

Instead of accepting their initial small request, Nassib presented three tiers of service.

The client chose the highest tier.

An old client who had fallen off his radar reached out for a simple email signature design. This small touchpoint led to a much larger $9,000 project.

A colleague, keeping Nassib top-of-mind due to his renewed networking efforts, referred him to a client for a $17,000 project.

Best motion designer website - made in 1 week

Hey Reader, Two weeks ago, a post from Jakub, a Balanced Business Bootcamp member, appeared in my feed. He told everyone not to hire him for work. This piqued my interest. What was he up to?

In BBB, we set actionable goals, so I was immediately excited about his experiment in public. From then on, Jakub posted his website's...
