Prospecting Clients

Greetings, im from Philippines. Im trying to find a client by doing prospecting or making a list, but it's seem it is not working to find a client. I have done marketing in the Philippines but it is traditional like retailing and wholeselling. Marketing here in the USA is new to me i think my system is not working here in the USA. Web Marketing is new to me... Can someone give me a suggestion? Beside doing SEO.... Thanks and God Bless.

Hi,

Don't really know what you've done yet, but maybe it's interesting to go out and look which possible clients are close to you. Take notes, decide for yourself which one could be interesting.

Search them up to see if they're not currently active on the internet. Or if they already are, maybe they could use a makeover.

Contact the clients you yourself are interested in. Ask them if they are interested in your service. If so, settle a meeting.

Don't know if you're looking for a tactic to approach new clients, but that's what I've done, and worked for me. Though I'm not from USA myself.

What @Andreas Anastasiades was great! I would just add "cold calling" per say. Just going in and asking for a manager, if they have a website, would they like one, show them work you have done ( even if it's just one), and give them a decent price.
