After much wannabe-entrepreneurism I have settled on a software agency I'd like to pursue that is in the same industry I currently work a job in and has few competitors which all have a nice customer base.
I'm in the process of building a website and also going to start cold calling/emailing soon (I have experience in sales). However, in the beginning it is often hard to get traction or sales because of a lack of credibility or reputation. What are some ways you guys have seen or done to make your company appear larger than it is to establish credibility in the beginning? (Even if they are ... morally grey).
You hit a wall because the best advice isn't free—it's earned. Since 2007, MJ DeMarco has been active here daily (99.9% active rate), building a war room for entrepreneurs who refuse to settle for mediocrity.
Active Daily: Life-changing content posted dozens of times every day. No dead threads.

Vetted Network: Connect with founders scaling to 7 and 8 figures.
Proven Roadmaps: Strategy over motivation. Execution over "hustle porn."
