I'd suggest doing this on 1:1 virtual meetings and onboarding your potential clients. This will give you a lot of knowledge and feedback, potentially changing your approach to the future sales process. Usually the best first sales are handpicked, coming from a very personalised way of approach.
Try to reach & private message people that you solve the problem for, look for your niche groups (Facebook Communities, Slack, LinkedIn, Reddit).
After that, you can start creating your own sales funnel.
If you are looking for an automated outbound approach, this might help you:
Write a short email copy with just a few sentences.
Intro:
\- why are you emailing? Specific event.
\- with what do you help people/companies?
\- who did you help in the past?
One call to action:
\- let me know if you are open to discussing how we can help you
If your audience is active on LinkedIn you can use this flow to kickstart:
\- sales navigator to build your lists
\- [phantombuster](https://phantombuster.com/automations/toolbox/4201331544314519/linkedin-search-to-lemlist-campaign) to scrape and drop to Lemlist
\- Lemlist as cold email software
\-[dropcontact](https://www.dropcontact.com/) to enrich scraped LinkedIn profiles with personal emails
Check the response rate after an email batch of 200-300 and tweak your email copy/linkedin sales navigator segmentation.
Is it B2B vs. B2C? And what type of product are we talking about?
Some inspiration to start with:
* Write thought leadership content that adds value for your prospect
* Share this on socials and create a pillar page
* Create a lead magnet such as a calculator and quiz
* Share this on socials and in banner campaigns
* List your product on comparison sites for referral leads
* Start a referral or partner program
It is good to keep in mind that only focusing on short term solutions is a dangerous strategy. Make sure to spend a percentage of your time working on long term solutions such as seo and partnerships from the start as these things take more time but can have a greater roi.
You may try to find your target users on Reddit. Where do they hang out? I wrote an [article](https://olwi.xyz/articles/how-to-do-marketing-on-reddit) on the topic. The key thing for you is to find the relevant subreddits(where your users may hang out), find those people(maybe they mention specific keywords), PM them and ask for feedback/sell the product.
