What are the best ways to find new clients when you're self-employed?
For many, the process of finding new clients can feel unpredictable, time-consuming, and at times, disheartening.
IPSE gives you the tools, connections, and confidence to find new opportunities and thrive on your own terms.
Finding (and winning) work isn’t always easy
One of the biggest ongoing challenges of self-employment is finding a steady stream of new clients.
Without the support of a dedicated sales or marketing team, the responsibility for generating work falls entirely on your shoulders. It can be difficult to know where to start - especially if you're balancing existing projects, dealing with admin, and trying to grow your business at the same time.
For many, the process of finding new clients can feel unpredictable, time-consuming, and at times, disheartening.
