e commerce projects

[rmcguru]

Hi, I've started a e-service company which does e commerce and e publishing projects in the U.S and in India. As we started lately in london , just wondering how to get to know the ecommerce & e publishing businesses please . I've tried my leads but no replies yet . Any suggestions how to meet up with people , as I dont see any point sending e mails to get an appointment to meet up with the businesses.

Join some local networking groups, 4N, BNI, Meetup.com etc.

Maybe pick the phone up and speak to some people about their requirements are try to arrange some meetings. Cold calling isn't easy but, after a while, you learn to roll with the punches and find ways to tap into people's needs.

Remember, you are selling a solution to a problem, not trying to enforce how great you are. If you can empathise with their pain factors you are more likely to win business.

Networking events (as suggested) are also great. The best way to sell is to be in front of someone, let them know you exist and explain what you are about.

Go to some events. Local business networking / web marketing / perhaps tech startup.

Campus London is run by Google and provides free events for tech startups. Maybe not quite what you need but you'll meet people in the ecommerce space probably.

If you want to meet major retailers, the various affiliate networks have the occasional event.
