Hey everyone,

I posted here before about starting my IT services company, Verexa Technologies, based in the GTA, and a lot of you shared really helpful feedback and advice. I genuinely appreciate it.

Now I’m trying to figure out the best way to get clients. Last week I sent around 50 cold emails and haven’t received a single reply yet. I know 50 emails isn’t a huge number, but it still made me wonder if I’m approaching this the wrong way.

For those who’ve grown service businesses before — was cold emailing enough for you in the beginning, or did you find better results through other methods like networking, referrals, LinkedIn, ads, partnerships, etc.?

Would really appreciate any honest advice or experiences.
