Selling websites - How to find customers???
I have started up a web design company and offer template solutions as well as custom design.
I want to target a niche like attorneys or medical professionals (Drs/Dentist) etc...
When I did a survey I found companies charging anywhere from $2000 to $9000+.
I am facing some approach challenges in bringing in business:
Challenge #1. I tried cold calling and find I cannot even get past the receptionist, let alone speak to anyone of authority. Even if they have a out of date website, I am told they are happy with what they have, not interested, send a fax, or the Attorney/Dr has a friend that is re-doing. If I go back months later it is still the same site. If I ask for email they say they do not give out emails.
Challenge #2: If I do out of the blue get the email and just send an email, or send a cold email (take email address from website), I hear nothing back.
I thought about hiring a professional on commission basis to help bring in business but am not sure if anyone would be interested?
So folks I am looking for suggestions and ideas of how I can make :confused:this work. I even tried to make a deal with people who had for a lack of better word "Shitty" looking sites and offered free site in return for a reference, yet they still show no interest. I am not looking to make millions here (would like to), but 1 sale a week will out food on the table.
Thoughts/suggestions welcome.
Thx
