First contact: Email vs Phone Call
Hi,
In my marketing efforts, I have been emailing an introduction of sorts to our target market (new companies), explaining who we are and what we do. I usually follow up with a friendly phone call a few days later. However, I am wondering if I should just call instead of sending the email. It seems more aggressive to me, and not necessarily in a good way. We basically have no budget to buy call lists so I have been finding my contacts more organically but with a lot more effort. I have had a little success I guess, if you can call one paid client out of over 500 email/calls a success. And I have some warm leads I am trying to convert. Other than that, I am wondering what else I could do. We have advertised in just about every place you can for free, and people are currently finding us through some Google pay per click ads we got for free. We could use some ideas/help/suggestions...
Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up. I think it is returning that error only because we do not have a contest running currently. We just finished one up.
