Landed my first retainer client after 3 weeks

Wanted to post this because the forum helped me get here. Sent about 40 outreach messages total, got 4 replies, 1 turned into a paid trial, trial turned into a $20/hr retainer for 10 hours a week doing inbox and research work for a small coaching business. Not life changing money yet but it's real recurring income and I learned a ton.

This is a great ratio actually, 40 messages to 1 client is pretty normal from what I've seen posted here. Congrats.

What did your outreach message actually say? Trying to figure out why mine aren't getting replies.

Following this thread for the same reason as brooke. 3 weeks to first client is faster than I expected it to take.
