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 [understandably] didn't give us much to go on but I find it odd that there isn't a single comment here you find worthy of a reply. You simply need to talk more. Its free!

If you are going to make a blog it is going to be required to respond to comments. You are not talking into an empty room, people take time to respond, you need to give feedback and ask for clarification to guide the conversation into a useful path.

Say, people are suggesting books in this topic. Are you going to read those? Do you want more book suggestions? To me it seems like a lot of work and possibly an unnatural way to learn to do dialog.

The crappiest sales people are the ones who love to hear themselves talk. Without engaging in the conversation you've started(!?) you'll never be able to tell the difference.
