<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Getting your first 5 forex clients as an <a href="https://www.acypartners.com/introducing-broker">Introducing Broker</a> (IB) feels like trying to start a fire in the rain. It’s frustrating, you feel exposed, and every “no” feels like a personal failure. But those first five clients are more than just commissions; they are the flint, steel, and tinder of your entire business. They are your first testimonials, your first referrals, and the first proof that you can actually do this.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Forget the gurus telling you to blast 1,000 DMs a day with a generic, soulless script. That’s the fastest way to get blocked, reported, and ruin your reputation before it even begins.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">This is not a guide to high-pressure sales. It’s a strategic roadmap to becoming a trusted advisor. We’ll show you how to build a foundation of trust so solid that your first five clients are just the beginning of a thriving, long-term business.</span></p>

<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Skipping this phase is the #1 reason new IBs fail. You wouldn’t invite guests to a house that’s still under construction, so why would you invite clients into a business that isn’t ready? Let’s get your house in order.</span></p>

<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">The financial world is a minefield of regulations. One wrong step can end your career and harm your clients. This is non-negotiable.</span></p>
<ul class="ng-star-inserted">
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">NEVER Guarantee Profits:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> This is the cardinal sin of financial promotion. It is unethical, illegal in most jurisdictions, and instantly destroys trust with anyone who has done a shred of research. Forex involves substantial risk, and you must be the first to say it.</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">NEVER Claim It’s “Easy” or “Risk-Free”:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Trading is a skill that requires discipline, education, and emotional control. Being transparent about the <a href="https://acy.com/en/market-news/education/risk-management-in-forex-trading-l-s-03212025-063417/">challenges and risks</a> is not a weakness; it’s your greatest strength. Honesty builds the trust that guarantees can’t buy.</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Check Local <a href="https://acy.com/en/support/regulations/">Regulations</a>:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> The rules for financial promotion vary wildly by country. Understand what you can and cannot say as an IB in your region. Ignorance is not a defense.</span></p>

<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">As an IB, you are an extension of the broker you represent. Their reputation </span><span class="ng-star-inserted">is</span><span class="ng-star-inserted"> your reputation. A shady broker will tarnish your name permanently.

<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Regulation:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Look for top-tier regulation (e.g., FCA, ASIC, CySEC). This is the client’s primary protection.</span></p>

<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Trading Conditions:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Are the spreads and commissions competitive? A client won’t stick around if they feel they’re being overcharged.</span></p>

<h2 class="ng-star-inserted" style="text-align: center"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Phase 2: Think Like Warren Buffett: Building Your “Circle of Competence” Client List</span></strong></h2>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Warren Buffett famously invests only within his “circle of competence”, businesses he understands deeply. Your first clients should come from </span><span class="ng-star-inserted">your</span><span class="ng-star-inserted"> circle of competence: the people who already know, like, and trust you.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Instead of spraying and praying, you will strategically build a high-potential list. This isn’t just about names; it’s about relationships.</span></p>
<h3 class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Step 1: The Inner Circle (Phone Contacts)</span></strong></h3>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">These are the people who will answer your call. Go through your phone contacts and list them out. Your brother, your old college roommate, your trusted former colleague. The relationship is your primary asset here.</span></p>
<h3 class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Step 2: The Social Circle (Social Media Followers)</span></strong></h3>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Go through your followers on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook. Don’t just list names; categorize them to personalize your approach:</span></p>
<ul class="ng-star-inserted">
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">A-List:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> People you interact with regularly. They know you, and you know them.</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">B-List:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> People you know but haven’t spoken to in a while. A little warming up is needed.</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">C-List:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Followers you don’t really know. These are a low priority for now.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Action:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Before you even think about messaging, ensure you can DM them. For B-Listers, engage with their content for a few days, like a post, leave a thoughtful comment. Warm up the connection before you reach out.</span></p>
<h3 class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Step 3: The Professional & Past Circle (Email Contacts)</span></strong></h3>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Scan your email history. Who are your past colleagues, clients, or professional acquaintances? These people know you in a work context, which can be a powerful angle. They’ve already seen your professionalism and work ethic.</span></p>

<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">When they reply, “I might be interested” or “Tell me more,” your heart will race. Now, the real work begins. Your goal is to move from text to a voice or video call. Drawing lessons from Tom Hougaard’s trading masterpiece, </span><span class="ng-star-inserted">Best Loser Wins</span><span class="ng-star-inserted">, can help you master this crucial conversation by managing their emotions (and your own).</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Your Reply:</span></strong><em><strong><span class="ng-star-inserted">“That’s great to hear!

<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">On the call, you must address their unspoken fears. Here’s how to apply trading psychology principles to your pitch:</span></p>

<h2 class="ng-star-inserted" style="text-align: center"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Phase 5: The Snowball Effect: How to Scale Beyond Your First 5</span></strong></h2>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Your first five clients are your springboard. Don’t let them go to waste. Once they become confident and see value, you have two critical jobs.</span></p>
<h3 class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">1. Master the Referral Ask</span></strong></h3>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Once your client has had a “win”, they’ve understood a concept, placed their first trade, or had a profitable week on a demo account, it’s time to ask.</span></p>
<ul class="ng-star-inserted">
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Script:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted">“I’m so glad you’re finding this helpful! Since I’m still building this out, the best way for me to grow is through people who’ve had a good experience. Is there one or two people in your network (friends, family, colleagues) who you think might get value out of this as well?”</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<h3 class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">2. Implement the Pricing Ladder</span></strong></h3>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Your value has now been proven. You have feedback and testimonials. It’s time to start charging. A tiered pricing model builds momentum and urgency.</span></p>
<ul class="ng-star-inserted">
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Clients 1-5:</span></strong><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Free</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> (in exchange for a testimonial).</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Clients 6-10:</span></strong><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">“Founding Member” Price</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> (e.g., 50-60% off your future full price). This still feels exclusive and creates urgency.</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Clients 11-20:</span></strong><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Standard Price.</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> You now have social proof and a track record.</span></p>
</li>
<li class="ng-star-inserted">
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Beyond:</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> As your reputation grows, you can increase your prices by 20-40% as demand dictates.</span></p>
</li>
</ul>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">This is a long game. Cherish your first clients. Over-deliver on value, treat them like gold, and they will build your business for you.</span></p>

<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">For many brand-new clients, the idea of executing trades themselves is terrifying. This is where you, as a modern IB, can offer an intelligent stepping stone: </span><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">copy trading</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted">.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">What is it?</span></strong><span class="ng-star-inserted"> Copy trading allows a client to automatically replicate the trades of a seasoned, <a href="https://www.tradingcup.com/signals">vetted trader</a> on the platform.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">As an IB, you can introduce this as a low-effort way for clients to get their feet wet. They can learn by observing a professional’s live trades in their own account while you provide the educational context. It bridges the gap between total inaction and full manual trading, making it a powerful tool in your arsenal to get a client started.</span></p>

<h3 class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)</span></strong></h3>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Q: What is affiliate marketing in forex?</span></strong><br class="ng-star-inserted" /><span class="ng-star-inserted">A: Forex affiliate marketing involves partnering with a broker to earn commissions by referring new clients. As an Introducing Broker (IB), you operate as a specialized type of affiliate, often providing more hands-on value like education, support, and community, which allows you to build deeper trust and a more sustainable business.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Q: How much do forex affiliates make?</span></strong><br class="ng-star-inserted" /><span class="ng-star-inserted">A: Earnings vary dramatically. A simple link-plastering affiliate might make very little. A successful Introducing Broker who builds trust and provides genuine value can earn a significant income, from a few hundred to tens of thousands of dollars per month, based on the trading volume of the clients they introduce.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Q: Which is better, forex or affiliate marketing?</span></strong><br class="ng-star-inserted" /><span class="ng-star-inserted">A: This question compares an activity (trading forex) with a business model (affiliate marketing). As an IB, you are doing affiliate marketing </span><span class="ng-star-inserted">for</span><span class="ng-star-inserted"> the forex industry. The two work together. You are not trading for your clients; you are introducing them to a platform where they can trade.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Q: Does affiliate marketing pay real money?</span></strong><br class="ng-star-inserted" /><span class="ng-star-inserted">A: Absolutely. The global affiliate marketing industry is worth billions. In the finance space, where client value is high, a successful IB who operates ethically and builds a strong client base can generate a very real and substantial income.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Q: Which forex broker has the best affiliate program?</span></strong><br class="ng-star-inserted" /><span class="ng-star-inserted">A: The “best” program depends on your needs. Key factors to consider are: commission structure (CPA, revenue share), regulatory standing (FCA, ASIC are top-tier), marketing support, and broker reputation. It’s crucial to partner with a broker you would trust with your own money.</span></p>
<p class="ng-star-inserted"><strong class="ng-star-inserted"><span class="ng-star-inserted">Q: Can you make $100 a day with affiliate marketing?</span></strong><br class="ng-star-inserted" /><span class="ng-star-inserted">A: Yes, it is possible, but it is not a get-rich-quick scheme. Reaching a consistent $100/day as a forex IB requires a solid base of active clients. This is achievable by following the long-term, value-driven strategy outlined in this guide: building trust, providing education, and generating referrals.</span></p>
