6 weeks into WM job - outreach advice?

Six weeks into a job in WM, and hoping for some advice. Outside of referrals - what works for bringing in new clients?

Cold outreach? Events? Content? Buying lists? Using third-party data?

Also curious:

  • How do you decide who’s worth reaching out to?
  • What kind of info or signals would actually get your attention?
  • Would you ever use a list of prospects? Why or why not?

Just trying to get a real sense of what actually moves the needle. Really appreciate any insights
