Squirrel had everything he needed to start his business. The only thing missing was an actual client. There were a few bites here and there but nothing ever came to fruition. He knew his friends were likely to have contacts which would make great clients, but he didn’t want to seem like a burden. Finally he decided that’s what friends are for – to help him! After calling all his contacts, Squirrel had more clients to chatter to than he knew what to do with!
Lesson: This lesson is inspired by the Rescue a CEO Post “How to Land Your First Client”
