How I Booked 21 Free Consults (and Delivered 12) in 48 Hours—From Just Two Facebook Posts

Ever had one of those “why didn’t I do this sooner?” moments?

Because same.

In the last 48 hours, I’ve sent 68 calendar invites, booked 21 free consults, and already delivered 12 of them—all because I posted in two Facebook groups asking for referrals. That’s it. No fancy ad spend, no cold outreach—just a simple ask.

Here’s Exactly What I Did:

1️⃣ Posted in Two Facebook Groups – I wrote a straightforward post explaining what I do and letting people know I was open to referrals. No overthinking, no sales-y jargon—just a clear, direct ask.

2️⃣ Made It Easy to Say Yes – I shared who I help, what kind of results I get, and that I was offering free consults. No pressure, no hoops to jump through—just a genuine offer to help.

3️⃣ Engaged Like Crazy – Every time someone commented or tagged a friend, I responded. I started conversations, moved into DMs when it felt right, and made sure people knew I was actually paying attention.

4️⃣ Kept the Momentum Rolling – When someone showed interest, I sent them a calendar link immediately. No waiting, no lag time. The faster you act, the more likely people are to follow through.

And guess what? It worked.

The Lesson?

We massively overcomplicate marketing sometimes. We think we need a huge following, a perfect funnel, or a six-figure ad budget. But in reality, a simple, clear ask in the right place can unlock more opportunities than we realize.

People WANT to refer you—they just need to know you’re open for business.
Your next client is probably already in your network.
Showing up with confidence creates instant momentum.

So, if you’ve been waiting for a sign to put yourself out there—this is it.

📢 Drop a comment or shoot me a DM if you want in on my next round of consults. Let’s get your business in front of the right people—without the overcomplication. 🚀
