Best way to connect with small busniess owners?
I've been trying to connect with small business owners, specifically handmade jewellery sellers on etsy, to offer my services. So far this has been unsuccessful. I think its because im having to message through etsy and i think this cold calling method seems a bit cheap/ desperate.
In your experience whats the most effective way to contact and attract clients to form a good business relationship?

- @Andre de Almeida Great advice, i havent tried that yet. Thank you :)
- Hi George, this may not be as easy as it sounds but I would recommend you try to make a real life connection. Attend local networking events and Sunday markets, the time now (Christmas) is quite promising as there are tons of small pop-up markets.Apart from that there are the main online channels, groups and Q&A forums,.
- @Anthony Young Thanks for the advice! Ill definitely try to make my outreach more bespoke.
- Hi George, the best way to connect is to be genuine and have something of value for them. Maybe you can look at seller that has poor photography and offer them advice that is bespoke to them. You could if you wish take it further showing them the uplift you can offer on their products. Or something a simple as seasons ideas but it has to be related to the seller. Its need to be a personal message with a clear benfit and not a sales pitch.
