Free Trial
How many digital apps do you have that offer a free trial, then ask for a subscription once you’ve signed up?
The reason they do this is simple: they want you as a paying customer.
Well, what if you offered a free trial to a company for YOUR services? Offering free work for 1 week or 1 month is a powerful signal.
Most people feel antsy about this approach, but once you get over that, you’ll realize it might be the best way to land a job offer.
