I have a bit of experience doing social media management with online businesses but I’d like to try out working with local businesses in my area. What are some good strategies for doing cold outreach, and what kind of services would you offer to entice them to work with you?

I started by straight up cold calling some places. Just walked into the store and asked the owner if they wanted to set up a chat.

One great strategy for doing cold outreach to local businesses is to offer them a free consultation. This will give you a chance to introduce yourself and your services, and it will also let the business owner know that you're knowledgeable and professional. You can also offer a discount on your services if the business decides to work with you.

One thing that you can do is compile a list of businesses that you would like to work with and then reach out to them directly. You can also try attending local business events or meetups, and networking with business owners in person. Additionally, you can create content that is specifically targeted at local businesses and share it on social media or your website.

One great strategy for doing cold outreach to local businesses is to send them a personalized email. In your email, be sure to highlight the specific benefits of working with you, such as your experience and the services you offer. You could also offer a free consultation to help them decide if working with you is the right decision for their business.

Considering pivoting into a local MM IB. As my title suggests, my technical skills aren’t as honed as one who has focused on the analysis route. How much of being an Analyst at a smaller IB is technical skill heavy coming into the role? I hold my 7, 66, 24, and am not worried about getting the 79. Any input for how realistic this is? When looking at one particular firm’s career page it doesn’t mention technical skills or modeling once, which led me to believe it may be less important than soft.
