Reaching Startups?
Hi guys. Me and my team creates awesome animated explainer videos for startups and established companies at lonricstudios.c o m. What is the best way to reach these companies?
- dangrossman 13y agoSales. Introduce yourself over e-mail with a quick pitch about how you can help them. At least 3 other "we create awesome animated explainer videos for startups" sites have pitched me in the past few months that way.
- londonlyric 13y agoGreat advise, I will do that. Thanks;)
- mindcrime 13y agoCold call, cold email. BUT... if you do cold email or cold call people, PLEASE, for the love of (God|Satan|Allah|Dionysus|Zeus|Zoroaster|FSM|$WHATEVER) don't send a generic, non-specific pitch which is all about your company, your services, and what you can do. Send something that's about the frickin' customer. Research the people you contact before contacting them, and make your pitch about their needs, and their problems. Focus on the customer first and foremost, and only briefly mention what you do, and solicit permission to advance to a deeper relationship. Getting untargeted, generic spam is just annoying as hell. Don't be that guy.
- londonlyric 13y agoGreat advice. Thanks so much for that. It makes a lot of sense.
- londonlyric 13y agoThis is great advice guys. Please keep it coming, and thank you:)
- makerops 13y agoDo you have contact info you want to share? I am also in the same boat as you, but in a completely different area (development/operations-as-a-service is the best way I have come up with to describe it). Maybe we can collaborate, and share info etc? (email in my profile)
- londonlyric 13y agoSure. I am at teamlonric@lonricstudios.com
- andrewhillman 13y agoGo to sites that you feel could benefit if they had an explainer video and reach out to them in a personal way. Keep the cold email very short. No canned messages.
- londonlyric 13y agoAwesome advise Andrew. Thanks;)
