Me and a couple of friends have decided to start our own web development company. While we have years of experience building startups from the ground up from previous jobs, we have yet to find a good way to generate new leads for our business.
We know from experience that referrals are the best way to get new work, we have talked to some of our ex-clients and while some of them might have something for us to work on in the next few months we still want to broaden our network and try and get more work from different people in the short term.
Anyone here have experience building a web development company like ours? What did your first few clients looked like? how did you find them? Did you lower your rates as much as possible in order to get them?
