How do you ask for business?

2 months 1 week ago #761531 by George Winters
There are so many ways under the sun to ask for business and a lot has to do with who you are talking too, where and circumstances.  I have always been a little bit on the introvert side of the fence and would love to hear how others approach and ask for business. 

So please, if you have a tip to share, I and I'm sure others who read this thread would greatly appreciate your hand in help.

Give the person a card and ask if they will need any help in the future.

What's funny is that I use to be very introverted when it comes to talking with people.  Or mainly asking for business.  It took work, but I just give them my card and keep it very casual.  "Let me know if I can be of any help".  That will usually lead into some sort of question.

Just ask for it.  Give them a card, maintain good eye contact and go for it.

Talk with them, then let them know what I do for others and give them a card and ask if the have any photographer needed jobs coming up.  Regardless keep my card in case they do.
