6 ways to get more clients /customers ASAP...

1. Email all of your current clients/customers and tell them you appreciate them and it's a pleasure working with them.  
 
Towards the end of the email slide in something along the lines of "Any referrals that you could give me would be greatly appreciated".  It's subtle and smooth and you are making a suggestion rather than making a command so they won't feel like you are bossing them around.  
 
2.  Email all of your former clients/customers just to check in and say hello.  Ask them if they are happy with their current product /service and ask if they need anything weeks you have to offer.
 
3.  Do the same thing with prospects that you haven't seen in a while.  Just because you didn't get them the first time doesn't mean you won't get them the next time.  Sooner or later they will want/need you.  Always maintain positive relationships with everyone.
 
4.  Facebook is one of the best ways and easiest ways to convert prospects into client/customers .  Use Facebook on a daily basis and interact with people.  The best way to convert people from FB to clients is to use some type of call to action with a sense of urgency.  Make sure you tell them to call or email you for details.  And then provide your contact info.
 
5.  "Shake hands and kiss babies" was what one of my former sales coaches used to preach to me.  Get out in the community, break out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself to meet some new prospects.  Give them one of your business cards and write on the back of the card "Free insert your business "  Pick a date within the next two weeks to be your "if used by..." date.  
 
Give away something of value for free and give it an expiration date because the longer someone waits to come see you, the less likely they are to ever come see you. 
 
6.  Pass out personalized cards to your existing clients that say thank you and include a "buddy discount" that they can give to one of their colleagues to contact you. 
 
People will take this approach more seriously than just asking them for referrals because you are actually handing them something to give to other folks.  The "thank you card" is just a nice touch that people will appreciate.
