Sorry....may rant a little here.
I am still in the early days of my business (so far only sent out some letters to local businesses - 100 letters = 1 reply). A follow up letter going out as soon as I can afford it. I am on facebook, linkedin and twitter but again targeting is difficult.
My dilemma is, I am a single mum who has two primary school age children and a FT job while trying to build my PT VA business. How can I attract clients within my target market when I can't get out there and interact with them?
Most don't have websites and email addresses aren't readily available in their listings. My options seem to be further mailouts and/or cold calling (which I hate). I hate getting random calls from companies so am loathe to do it plus I'm not comfortable with that kind of unsolicited contact.
Any advice is or stories on how you have overcome this would be great!
Cheers
Fiona
