How to get enterprise clients? (self.experienced_devs)

submitted 2 years ago by adamb to c/experienced_devs

Hello everyone, I've been starting up a computer research laboratory and have been struggling to get enterprise clients for custom dev services or contract work. I've tried cold emailing, calling, and LinkedIn but haven't had any luck. Are there any specific communities or networks where large companies look for people to do this kind of work?

Interesting. "The foundation of business is trust. Getting a referral is a shortcut to them trusting you." This makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much for your advice.
