What works better than cold outreach?

Hi,

I am now in the early stages of marketing my services and I really hit a wall with cold outreach. I seems nobody really wants to hear what I'm saying and I can't blame them. If someone calls/ texts me out of the blue I am annoyed as well.

If you could maybe say what worked best for you to get your first customers, I have the feeling this would help me very much!

Thank You :)
