Attend every workshop and conference being held about this product idea or service.
Prepare for, and write, a certification exam to improve your credentials when offering this service or product idea.
Approach Number Two
Start talking to very specific kinds of business owners and managers that are most likely to need IT services on a regular basis from your firm.
