I have recently got registered as a structural engineer in my municipality and I want to start my practice in my area. So, I want to know whom should I contact to attract more clients. Should I connect with Architects, Contractors or Real Estate Agents so that they could advertise us and get more projects. How should I deal with these people?
So, any senior person please give me some guide to start my career as a Structural Engineer.
Thank you.
There are different ways that you can start finding your clients.
Generally you can have outbound marketing and inbound marketing.
Outbound marketing is where you reach out to clients and tell them about your availability to provide structural consulting services. This out reach can be to your prospective clients like Architects and builders or even direct clients.
Inbound marketing is where you create valuable content and attract people through that. You can use a website or social media presence or ads and emails for doing these.
Marketing is a very vast topic and what suits you is dependent on what you like and your expertise. It also depends on your prospective clients. Where they hang out matters.
