This document summarizes a webinar about obtaining freelance clients through WordPress. It recommends attendees pick "low hanging fruits" like installing child themes or adding slideshows that they can solve quickly. It advises framing conversations around how solutions increase clients' profits, not costs. Follow-up is key to getting more work and testimonials. The webinar teaches a 3-step formula: find pains you can solve, discuss customer profits, follow-up and upsell. Attendees are offered a 3-day, 3-client program for $300 to learn scripts, worksheets and get community support to apply the strategies.
