Many admins hesitate to market themselves because they don’t want to feel "salesy." Instead of thinking about it as selling, think of it as problem-solving.
1. Position Yourself as a Problem Solver
- Instead of saying: “I do inbox management.”
- Say: “I help busy business owners take back 10+ hours a week by streamlining their email workflows.”
2. LinkedIn & Referrals as Your First Clients
- Optimize your LinkedIn profile to reflect your new consulting focus.
- Reach out to past colleagues & network connections for referrals.
- Join business networking groups (virtual & in-person).
3. Finding Clients in Business Communities
- Offer value in Facebook Groups, Slack channels, or Reddit communities.
- Engage with entrepreneurs & solopreneurs looking for admin help.
- Share small wins & case studies to showcase expertise.
