How difficult is it to get first clients?

So I was fired 2 months back and now, after a break of one month, I am trying to build my own agency.

The core service I am offering is at the intersection of founder-led and employee-generated content. My targeted companies and founders are from B2B space.

I am struggling to get my first clients. Any recommendation or any advice would be really appreciated

23F looking for an Accountability Partner/Mentor

I am doing something at the intersection of founder-led content and employee-generated content, on LinkedIn.

I'm planning to get my first two clients. I'm all locked in my room for the next 15 days.

But i keep procrastinating on things. I am very clear about what I have to provide as a service or what steps I have to take for that but I keep procrastinating.

That is the reason I'm looking for a partner. At the same time I want to learn.

In the exchange for that I would really love to help you any way I can.

Let's connect!

Recently tested an EGC (employee-generated content) system for the last company results were very surprising

Founders are literally struggling to make their teams post on LinkedIn.

And honestly, the problem is usually not the team. It’s this:

If you think employees don’t wanna post.

Trust me, that's not true.

I have seen this very closelyy, teams are just thinking:

• “What do I even post, i dont have any topic?”

• “I’m not an expert, is this safe for LinkedIn”

• “Dont you think, this sounds cringe.”

• “People from my company will judge me.”

• “I don’t know how to sound professional.”

That’s the real issue.

Recently tested an EGC (employee-generated content) system for the last company. And in the beginning, almost everyone was hesitant.

The reason wasn't lack of ideas or bad writing.

They were just SCARED to post publicly.

So instead of forcing “thought leadership,” we focused on removing friction.

For the first 1–2 weeks, the goal was simple: just help people get their first post out.

That’s it.

And something interesting happened after that.

Once people posted 1-2 times and realised: “oh… nobody is attacking me.”

Their confidence changed completely, and then posting became easier.

To make this work, I created:

• team-wise topic banks

• prompts for each department/team

• simple post structures, good/bad examples

• weekly workshops/support

• internal recognition + rewards

Because sales should not post like tech and tech should not post like finance.

People don’t need to “be creators.”

They just need help talking about the work they already do every day.

And the results honestly surprised even us:

• 55+ employees participated

• 336 posts created in 2 months

• \~ 600k impressions

• 12k+ engagements

• 11k+ followers gained over all

All organic.

If we would have run ads for the same reach, it would cost us 10 times the investment we did in this PGC

The observation is very simple, teams don’t need motivation to post.

They need clarity, structure, examples and yess most imp a little confidence boost. That’s the actual game.

And once people get comfortable being visible, they usually don’t wanna go back to being invisible again.
