Hey Everyone,

I recently launched my web design agency and decided to kick off with cold calling. I’ve reached out to about 100 businesses, particularly painters in Toronto with basic websites, offering a no upfront cost deal at $25 a month for hosting and maintenance for my first 20 clients. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen much traction. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong or if my offer needs tweaking? I only do static sites so basically no e-commerce would that be limiting myself?

    I’m a contractor (renovations and I do some painting). I don’t know how it is in Toronto, but in much of the US the construction industry is in high demand and short supply. Any decent contractor is booked out a year or two in advance and doesn’t have time or need for advertising. I stay 100% booked by word of mouth and keep raising my rates. I don’t even bother with social media anymore.

    I have a repeat client who’s a web designer and has been trying to trade me a website for years.
    I told him “Why? So I can turn down more work?”
