Thanks everyone for your feedback! It seems that most people agree cold calling is ineffective. I guess my philosophy behind it - is why should we decide on behalf of other people regarding what service they need or dont need? Most people here assume that clients are certain kind of people who always have best services available. So why even bother? Based on my experience this is not true. The nature of humans is to seek and search..clients are often driven by idea that they can find better services.. I do agree that cold calling might not be the best way asking new clients if they d like to try working with you. Thanks again for everyone's advice and feedback, you guys are great!

I decided to try cold calling to find new clients.. I know cold calling is difficult and not very effective..still i want to try different methods. Please take a look at my short script below and critique it if needed.

Thanks Ernest, very informative response!

Thank you for your response, your advice is highly valued.

Thank you Jason for providing a very informative response! I will go ahead and register as corporation. I wonder if I can transfer ownership if in case I decide to pursue a different route.

Hi Everyone, My name is Ilya and I am new to this forum. I ve been reading a lot of posts and I see you guys have formed a very friendly and supportive community! I would be very glad to be part of your community if you do not mind. Here is my question: my friend and I used to work for a company but now we decided to create our own small company. According to New York state laws we have to register our company, and after consulting with the accountant we decided to form a corporation. We just wanted to hear some opinions on this idea because we have no experience working on our own. Have anyone registered their business as corporation or you guys mostly work as freelances? Aren't architectural companies more likely to work with registered businesses such as corporations? What is better approach in terms of getting credibility and finding new clients? Do clients care about registration of your business? Any feedback would be much appreciated
