Thanks for the reply. I'll try to keep doing cold emailing, though sometimes I feel that I'm just emailing a wall who never replies. I've read tons of books and courses on how to write best emails and I do follow them - it's just that clients already have a dev team or they are not looking to outsource at that point of time - which boils down to unresponsiveness.

'How much does an app cost' websites do solve a problem - they give the customer instant quote or estimate for their app. And it does also solve the 'getting clients' problem.

Ideally, I want to do something that's a win - win for both.

I am not advocating cold emailing. I am advocating cold calling with a phone or in person.

Ok, I've never actually done cold calling. I don't like being on the receiving end of cold calls - so I figure others wouldn't like it either. But in person would be much better.

People usually do not like it, that's what makes it hard work. It's also more effective because it allows collecting more intelligence. The decision maker's personal assistant knows something about the company and can provide valuable insight to the organization and its pain points. The receptionist knows the org chart.
