Gaining Contracts

[Jodimyatt]

My main level of expertise is in IT Support

With the above in mind I would like to gain as much new business in this area.

Ad Hoc is ok but I want set support contracts over a period of time manily to help with budgeting etc,

Must Level of Service is good as are my prices competive.

Does anyone have idea how to go about signing these contracts and getting the interest in this serive to allow this.

I am thinking of tomorrow getting the yellow pages and working my way though it to see if I can get meetings with local companies what are peoples options on this.

I think you will most likely get a better response from getting out there and networking with other business owners. The added benefit from networking is that you are more likely to get to speak to the business owners themselves.

Yes Ozzy, I know your right but its a bit aquard for me to be on my feet all day due to injurys with my legs.

Could you recommend any networking meeting or companys.

Where are you based? You can try BNI or BRE or ecademy for networking? Also your chamber of commerce will have networking events and also your council offices the business section too will have network events or lists of networks around. You can also at teh same time ask your council for a list of the latest businesses setting up and then send them information about your services?

Hi

We did a project for a Scottish company for this service.

The easiest and cheapest way is to prospect profile and let this generate the lead for you.
