3/ Use Twitter

4/ Cold Emails
(B2B products only)
- Get on LinkedIn, scrap emails from your potential customers
- Build a list of emails, check every profile, and craft personalized emails for each of them.
- Start your campaign at a low pace (not more than 50/d and adjust accordingly)

5/ Get on the phone as much as you can!
I can't stress enough how important this is
You'll learn more in a 15 min call with a customer (even more if it's an early adopter) than spending days online
And, you'll be amazed how easier is it to close a deal when you speak to them!
