I got my first customer cold calling. It was hard work but in the end we went to Bill the movers office (which has trash everywhere and a bat). Bill paid us a few hundred dollars to build a new website. We ran ads for his site and he paid us per lead. I expanded that business until I stumbled over a product we could sell more efficiently- call tracking. We no longer had to get into the weeds of the business design and ads instead we were augmenting their analytics- providing a kind of google analytics for phone calls. Continuing down this path talking to customers - people wanted to just use our phone and we became contact center software… we’ll see where we go from here still love talking to customers… my way of seeing the world is always be solving problems and always be talking to people with problems… using the phone to call someone is not a bad thing but maybe if you have a neighbor or aunt/uncle - father in law or the likes that needs help start there … but definitely have away for people to call you. And email like a lot… that’s my advice… because bills bat had the name of the last guy who sold him a website and ads…
