How to land corporate clients

by Jaimie Abbott

As a business owner, landing corporate clients can be a significant boost to your company's revenue and brand image. However, scoring some corporate client gigs is not an easy task. It requires strategic planning, networking, and persistence. Here are some of my top tips to land corporate clients.

1. Develop a Target List
   The first step in landing corporate clients is identifying your target list. This is a list of companies that you believe could benefit from your products or services. To create this list, you should consider your company's strengths, your target industry, and your ideal customer profile. Once you have identified your target list, you can start to research these companies to learn more about their needs and how you can best serve them. 

2. Build Your Network
   Networking is a critical component of landing corporate clients. You should focus on building relationships with decision-makers at the companies on your target list. This can be done through industry events, conferences, and other networking opportunities. You should also consider reaching out to your existing contacts to see if they have any connections at the companies on your target list. 

3. Tailor Your Pitch
   Once you have identified the companies you want to target and have built relationships with decision-makers, you need to tailor your pitch. This means highlighting the specific ways in which your products or services can benefit their company. You should be prepared to address their pain points and provide concrete examples of how you have helped similar companies in the past. 

4. Demonstrate Your Value
   Corporate clients are typically looking for partners who can provide value beyond just the products or services they offer. You should be prepared to show how your company can help the client achieve their goals and add value to their overall business strategy. This can include providing data-driven insights, offering exceptional customer service, and being flexible and adaptable to their evolving needs. 

5. Be Persistent
   Landing corporate clients can be a long and challenging process. It's important to be persistent and not give up if you don't see immediate results. This means following up regularly, staying top-of-mind with decision-makers, and being patient as they consider your proposal.
