Just one way to introduce yourself to potential clients, would you rather do so via email, a phone call or in person? I could see advantages to each but I was hoping to get some expert opinions.

Hey Neil K,

Let a great demo be your introduction! It's always worked for me.

Otherwise, I always start out with a personal phone call. I know I'm old-school, but I still believe in my heart (and from results) that nothing beats voice-to-voice contact. A good phone chat can take you a long, long way!

All the best,
Mark

I have been thinking that too. Thanks for your input.

cold calls have always been scary. But selling is selling, even your intellectual property. But the more phone calls you make (I got this from Det. Colombo) the more they'll point you in the right direction and help scratch out the folks (on paper) that will not help you. Smile and dial, dude. And saturate the social media with non-offensive blather. Get a web page if you haven't. Go to every workshop and shmooz opportunity (usually comes with free wine) you can. May the force be with you and live long and prosper.
