400 cold emails, 1 "thanks" reply - Where do businesses actually look for automation/dashboard services?
I'm a data automation specialist hitting a wall with cold outreach, and I need your insights.After sending 400 cold emails (200 local, 200 international) offering services like:
- PowerBI dashboard development
- Advanced Google Sheets automation with AppScript
- Manual data entry automation
- Custom reporting solutions
Result? One single "thanks" reply. That's it.I know these services solve real business problems - who hasn't struggled with messy spreadsheets or manual data entry? But clearly, I'm missing something in my approach.For those of you running businesses:
- Where do you actually look when you need these kinds of services?
- If you're using Google Sheets or dealing with data entry, what are your current pain points?
- Am I completely off base with cold emailing as an approach?
Would love to hear your experiences and advice on connecting with businesses that could benefit from these solutions.
