Top of the list of dreams for many small firms and solo professionals is to win lucrative work with big corporate clients.

A few decent projects can keep your business very healthy for a long time.

The trouble is, those lucrative corporate contracts can be extremely tricky to land.

In reality, most of the common marketing techniques you might have been recommended or might even have used just don't work all that well for winning corporate clients.

You see, although things are changing over time, right now, senior decision-makers in corporates don't spend much of their time searching for things online or using social media.

And while the Linkedin gurus will tell you that 58% of CEOs are on Linkedin, what they won't tell you is that hardly any of them use it actively and their profile is usually managed by their PA.

Corporate buyers don't go out to networking events like smaller businesses do.

And their emails and calls are usually screened by assistants trained to keep new suppliers at bay.

Of course, it’s not that these popular tactics don't work at all. You can still raise visibility with more junior people through social media and your website – and that helps in the long run.

Or you might bump into a CEO at an event. And the odd cold email you send might get through to someone senior.

But these tactics don't work anywhere near as well as they do for smaller business clients. And they don't work anywhere near well enough to make them reliable front line options to base your strategy around.
