Me and a few other former Microsoft employees have started our own consultancy company.

What we did as a first step was to crawl through all our microsoft inboxes and plug anyone we have worked with in a CRM. We managed to get a few projects because of this, but in many cases people just don’t reply and one can only follow up x many times.

What do you guys think would be our best next step? We are currently finishing our website and had planned to hire somebody to help us generate leads using both email and LinkedIn. Is this a good approach or do u have any better ideas?

    Lots of LinkedIn DMs will help. Probably more so than email. But try all of the above. How many people do you currently reach out to daily/weekly?

      We’ve reached out to about 100 companies via email and LinkedIn. This was our initial CRM list, but now we’re running dry so I need to find new leads. I know LinkedIn does some suggestions but I was wondering if there’s maybe other ways to generate leads. I’ve seen some AI tools that look promising but never tried.

      I’m at my credit limit with linkedin atm.
