What's new

Booked By Friday.

I've started a weekly email series called Booked By Friday. It lands every Sunday with one specific action you can take that week to land a paid booking by Friday. From people already in your world, not from chasing strangers.

Each email gives you the action and the reason it works. Some weeks the action is a single email. Other weeks it's a five-day experiment, or a question to answer before you send anything. The shape changes. The promise doesn't. One paid booking by Friday from someone who already knows your name.

If you sell services and you've got past clients sitting somewhere in your inbox or invoicing tool who haven't heard from you lately, that's who it's for.

 
Why I'm not auto-adding you

You have to opt in.

I could have moved you across automatically. I'm not going to. The Sunday email is going to land in your inbox every week and ask you to do something specific that week. The people who get the most out of it are the ones who chose to be there.

If a Sunday email about taking one specific sales action this week sounds like more than you want from me, opt out by doing nothing. You'll keep getting the emails I already send you. Nothing changes. If it sounds like the kind of thing you want in your inbox, click the button below.

Booked By Friday: weekly emails about which past client to message this week.

I'm Zoë. I run Falling Forwards Ltd. I write Booked By Friday, a weekly email that lands every Sunday with one specific action you can take that week to land a paid booking by Friday from people already in your world. Past clients, lapsed buyers, the lead who said "not yet" three months ago. If you sell services and your calendar's lighter than you'd like, that's the inbox you want to be in.

In September 2023, my brother and I had an idea. For 100 days, we’d spend 100 minutes a day working on our businesses and see what happened. That was basically the whole idea. 100 days. 100 minutes a day. Work on your business. I invited some other people to do it with us, because apparently if I’m doing something slightly ridiculous I need witnesses. The important bit is that I wasn’t telling people what they had to spend those 100 minutes doing. It wasn’t 100 minutes of sales, or marketing,...

Whale hello there, Reader, Have you heard of Rate My Chives? It's an Instagram account. A very serious Instagram account. People, and not just home cooks, we're talking actual chefs, submit their chive-chopping for rating. And the ratings are... completely unregulated. A 6.6 here. A 7.4 there. No apparent rubric. No explanation. The comments section is full of professional chefs nodding gravely and offering their thoughts on the chop. The thing that got me though, was what happens BEFORE the...

Can I tell you something I’ve been sitting on for a while? I want to start a sweatshirt business. Not “I’ve looked into it a bit.” I mean I have an actual list of ideas for fun, punny, printed sweatshirts and I am doing nothing with it because one half of my brain is screaming “JUST START” and the other half is going “Zoë, concentrate on the business you already have.” So for now, the list lives in a my notes app, haunting me. (Would you like to see some of them? Maybe that's my IG post today...
