   • Don't immediately ask for big commitments (like booking a call).
   • Start with smaller commitments to build trust.
   • Example: Offer a quick video illustrating your offer.

3. Lack of Case Studies

   • Mention previous case studies and results to build credibility.
   • In times of trust recession, facts from client testimonials are vital.

4. Neglecting Social Media Presence

   • Prospects will search your social media for validation.
   • Maintain professional profiles with client interviews and educational content.

5. No Nurture Content in Follow-Ups

   • Follow-ups should include nurturing content to build trust.
   • Send videos or interviews showcasing successful client outcomes.

6. Ignoring Platform Limitations and Email Deliverability
