Why More Outreach Isn't Always Better
Doing more outreach doesn't automatically mean getting more clients. There's a difference between more outreach and better outreach: sending the same generic message to 500 businesses doesn't solve the underlying problem - people can tell when a message was copied and pasted. Sometimes the problem is the offer, the wrong businesses, or talking about yourself instead of the problem you can solve.
Spend a few minutes researching each business: their website, Google presence, social media, mobile experience, SEO or usability problems. One specific observation is enough - the point is to show you actually looked. Not every business needs what you're selling; find businesses where there's an actual fit.
