🤝 The First Ten Customers (Without Ads)

Tell everyone

Fifty people in your phone, a status post, a Facebook post in the community groups, one flyer at the shop, the church, the school gate.

Referral ask

After every good job: 'If you know someone who needs this, send them my number — I'll take care of them.' Offer a small thank-you for referrals that book.

The follow-up

Two weeks after every job: 'How's everything? Anything else you need?' That message books the second job and earns the review.

Homework

Message 20 people today. Ask for one referral after your next job.

✅ Do this now — step by step

1. Message 50 people in your phone today — personal messages, not a broadcast.
2. Post in two community groups and on status with one photo and one price.
3. Put one flyer with a QR to your WhatsApp at the shop, the church and the school gate.
4. After every job: 'If you know someone who needs this, send them my number — I'll take care of them.'
5. Two weeks after every job: 'How's everything? Anything else you need?'

⚠️ Mistakes to avoid

• Running ads before the first ten — you don't know your pitch yet; the network teaches it to you.
• Asking for referrals once, awkwardly — make it a sentence you say every time.
• No follow-up — the second job is the cheapest sale you'll ever make.
