I am a solo founder that just finished writing code for my project (MVP) and am ready to find clients.
- for the sake of the question, my clients will be small physical businesses. Think, Family Doctor's Office, Local Cafe, Small barber, etc.
I will be developing a blog for SEO purposes and doing other things to promote my business online. However, I believe the key to success here will be "Cold Sales". I have never done that before. So, if you could recommend a book, a blog post, other online resources, or you just have a random advice that I could learn from, I would be very thankful.
Suffice it to say I will be starting out ASAP, even though I don't know anything. I believe practice is the best teacher. However, if there are any resources that could help me get up and running quicker that would be awesome. Thanks a ton in advance.
After the first couple of calls you stop being afraid of it and it just go much smoother. But following up and make sure everything is aligned takes much more time that I expected.
Often it is not a yes or no answer straight away, but it is more a chasing, communicate, listen, learn, plan, follow up, etc...
But again maybe I was doing something wrong myself.
