I previously had the opportunity to build a large customer base through organic traffic. I took advantage of Google's SEO before the algorithm changes made organic customer acquisition much more difficult. As a result, I now have a loyal base of repeat customers.

However, my next goal is to scale by acquiring customers through paid advertising. So far, I haven't been successful. The sales I generate barely cover my advertising costs, leaving little or no profit.

I want to take my business to the next level, and one idea that really interests me is shifting from waiting for customers to find me to proactively finding customers myself through outbound sales.

For those of you who have successfully made this transition, what advice would you give? What strategies or mindset changes had the biggest impact?

Thanks!!
