Definitely referrals. Selling to people who already trust you is way easier than convincing complete strangers to get on a call.

fair, warm always closes easier. what do you do in a month where the referrals just dont come?

You activate them. Check in with past clients. Even a quick checking in to see how the site is performing often uncovers new scope or a fresh introduction. Dry months only happen when you treat referrals like luck instead of following up.

checking in on how the site is doing is a good way back in without it feeling like a sales call. do you do those on a schedule or more when it gets quiet
