Getting started reaching out to local prospects for my agency.
I’m 18 and have been on this journey for about a month and just send out my first emails to prospects this morning. That’s probably not the best way to contact them but it’s what I started with. I just have a few questions for people who have started their own agency.
1. How do you cold-contact a business, calls?
2. How do you pick a niche and what do you look for. Niches to stay away from? Also niches that have worked well for you recently that I can try in my local area?
3. How do you choose prospects, I’m familiar with downhill prospecting, as in finding businesses that already pay for some sort of advertising so they know the value of being seen by more people. And I use ahrefs to find low k/d – high volume buyer intent keywords. What else are you guys looking for?
That’s all I got for now I’m still new but learning fast any advice/tips/feedback is appreciated -

1. I never cold call or email. It works but I think there’s a lot of rejection so I don’t like it. I still make 6 figures.
If you see lots of people doing something then avoid that. Every day people send emails and cold calling to business owners. There are a ton of calls and msgs in their inbox already, so why do they respond to you especially?
Think outside the box, I agree there are many people are great with cold calling, but there’s lots of rejections though.
And people really don’t like to buy something from stranger, its not so easy man.
Rather, be the master on the filed and solve their problems by providing valuable information. It could be videos, written content, reels, infographics, podcast however you liked and works for you.
Its a time game, and you have to be well-known on your industry.
Because there’s a lots of options, so people don’t wanted to do business with a completely strangers when they have a lot of well-known sources.
So, help the industry with information, go in front of them often through your content and be the well-know. If you wanted to work with plumbers then connect with them and listen to their problems, come up with solutions and it will work slowly. They will notice you’re helping. At the bringing no one will ask you to help, you keep your home work with consistency. It works.
This is how I work and we have at least 100s of clients.
If you have no time, then spend $$$ on ads. Still first few weeks you will not get a good results if you hire a professional that’s also not very affordable.
2. I mainly working with agency owners, I choose agency owners because if I get one client then there’s lot of works to do and even we can run business for long time. Still I test and work with different niches. But I don’t like to work with real estate agents, they’re busy and don’t have time to listed and finally will cancel with blaming you.
3. I think already covered the topic in above under no.1 step.
