We are talking about consulting right? You want to pitch technical topics to non-technical (owners presumably)?

Find a way to meet them and literally tell them that "you wrote the book on that (said subject that will... Fill in the blank)". Then hand them a copy of the book .

Folks like to work with experts (or people who are passionate enough to write a book).



I mean how should non-technical prospects find you? They don't go to such tech talks/conferences, don't read tech books. Such clients usually go to software agencies but not to individuals.


Great point. Most of my work comes from "technical" folks or my network. My attempts at cold-calling/etc have failed.
