5 Simple Ways to Improve Your Sales Process and Book More Clients

1. If Possible, Offer One Clear, Primary Service

We get it—you’re multi-talented and you want to support your clients in every possible way. But offering too many services can overwhelm your potential clients and dilute your messaging.

Narrowing your offerings allows you to:

• Streamline your delivery and pricing

• Build clearer packages and proposals

• Establish your authority in a specific space

• Speak more clearly to your audience

When you focus on one core service, your marketing becomes easier—and your sales process becomes faster.

2. Know Who You Actually Want to Work With

In the early days of business, it’s tempting to say yes to every inquiry that comes your way. But if you’re constantly taking on misaligned clients, you’re trading income for burnout.

Take time to define:

• Who your ideal client is

• What industries or values you align with

• What budget ranges are worth your time

The more specific you are, the more your sales process becomes a filter—not a free-for-all.

3. Show Your Work (Strategically)

This one sounds obvious, but a surprising number of creative businesses don’t showcase the work they actually want to book more of.

📌 Ask yourself:

• Does your portfolio reflect the kinds of projects you want more of?

• Are you showing only client work, or also personal/conceptual projects that light you up?

If you don’t have past projects to feature, that’s okay. Create a mock project and clearly label it as a theoretical case study. What matters is giving people a glimpse into your thinking, process, and style.
