How a Solopreneur Used a Service Sprint to Land Retainers

In this episode of Solopreneur Sessions, Lucas and Luna explore the 'service sprint' strategy — a focused, high-intensity week of work for a prospective client that acts as an extended audition. They break down how freelance designer Mia Torres landed three five-figure retainers by offering a free five-day branding sprint to carefully selected prospects. The hosts discuss why this approach works better than cold pitching or lowball proposals, how to structure the sprint to demonstrate value without giving away the farm, and the psychological shift it creates in the client relationship. They also cover how to select the right prospects, set boundaries, and follow up to convert sprints into long-term contracts. If you're a service-based solopreneur tired of proposal ping-pong, this episode offers a concrete alternative to the traditional sales funnel. #ServiceSprint #MiaTorres #Solopreneur #Freelancing #BusinessDevelopment #RetainerModel #SalesStrategy #ClientAcquisition #Branding #DesignBusiness #HighTicketSales #ProposalKill #ValueDemonstration #Business #SmallBusiness #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #SolopreneurSessions Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
