Getting clients for your business (sales, sell, work, cost)

[sjdemak]

What is your favorite method of getting first time clients? Mine is cold calling, it allows me to set up a meeting, and then I can evaluate if a solution can be met.

I spoke to many people in sales. They agree this is the way to go, cold calling.

Ten clients for me would be total overload, so the volume model doesn't work for me. That being said, it's not that hard. Rather than be an obnoxious halfwit and hound people half to death, instead network and chit chat with them about their business, kicking around ways to make it work better, sell better or run more cost effectively. Make it their idea for you to come talk to them.
