Wasted 4 months cold emailing Detroit firms before a guy at the Grand Circus coffee shop set me straight
I kept firing off pitch emails to every business on Woodward and got maybe 2 replies out of 60. A guy named Marcus overheard me complaining at a coffee shop near Grand Circus and asked if I'd ever actually shown up to a single event in person. Turns out all my wins came from one handshake at a chamber mixer in Corktown, not the 200 emails I sent. Do you mostly land clients face to face here, or has online actually worked for anyone?
