Hey HN,

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.

You are born with the ability to sell. Or you aren't

The people on hn will downvote me for this, but it's true. And practically none of them are sellers

My maternal grandfather made a fortune selling sugar out of the trunk of his car during probibition. An illustration of if the product is that good or in demand, anyone can sell it!

that is very rare to find

based on the framing you gave, sure

if you're willing to break the law, selling isn't the hard part...

Was sugar in short supply during Prohibition, or do you mean 'sugar'?
