How to Text a Client for the First Time Steps

Everything here somehow depends on the platform where you meet your client. Because you will need pretty basic information about them to execute this. I have seen people who meet clients on dating apps, and it turned out pretty fine.
So, here are the basic steps to text a client for the first time. If you are from the yahoo aspect, this is a guide for you.
🌟Research the Client
As I explained earlier, you will need a few basic pieces of information about your client to be able to hold their attention. When you are cold texting someone for the first time, they have a little patience towards you, so they are not so open and warm.
Researching the client and having information that you can use to capture their attention is very crucial. This will make them curious about how you figured out, or maybe become warm that you took a special interest in them.
Either way, doing simple research on your client and arming yourself with enough information is key.
Find a Similarity Between Your Client and Yourself
This is what you will use to break the ice finally and also get them interested in talking to you.
Even if there isn’t any similarity between the both of you, then you should make up one. But be sure to have enough understanding of the subject or what you both have in common.
Like if your client is from Lithuania, you can make it seem that you’ve met a wonderful Lithuanian man in the past, and you both had a wonderful relationship. And the reason you both aren’t close anymore was that you lost contact.
The above story might be just a made-up story, but it certainly works, and you should incorporate it when trying to text a client for the first time.
🌟Have an End Goal in Mind
What’s the plan for texting the client? You need to think like 10 steps ahead of the client before you text them for the first time.
The reason you are texting should go with the flow of your end game. If you are texting a client for a romantic relationship, then you shouldn’t sound all too professional.
But if you are looking for some business deal formats, then you should make your tone a professional one.
So, determine how you extend to use the client. That should help your tonality and approach.
🌟Write an interesting Introductory Message
An introduction text is the first message you send to someone who wants to know more about it. If your introductory text game is good, then it makes every other thing easier.
You can use the following steps to proceed.
Introduce
Hi Betty,
My name is xyz, and .. blabla…
This is a very precise introduction. Also, it places you in an influential position of authority.
If you don’t have an influential position in reality, you can always manufacture one and use it. Use titles like “Vice-president”, “Chief” and “Senior”. These are titles with authorities.
Highlight what caught your attention
“Your profile caught my attention because I see you own a fishing business in Louisiana, and I am so excited about texting you.”
Explain the Similarity Between Both of You
“The reason it excites me is that we work with such businesses, and for over 3 years, we have helped fishing business owners increase their profit margins by over 45% just by partnering with us.
