Ask HN: So like should I ring people? How do I get the foot in the door?

Similar situation here. If you find any good answers, please make a list for the rest of us :)
Chain a few tools together to make demos, give them away, charge for upkeep.
eg. yt: Nano-Banana + Kling + Claude Code = scrolling-exploded-headphones demo in a few minutes.

I'm not a YouTuber or influencer. I'm an engineer by background.
In theory the easiest business to start is an agency/services based company.
Sales & Distribution is still an absolute ball ache though. I can close pretty well when I'm in the room, my issue instead I think is getting my foot in the door.
So what should I do to get to that point?
---------------------------------
I've reviewed and redefined my ICPs and offerings, clarified what my messaging actually is.
I'm doing cold email and learning how to do it properly but I'm not terribly convinced I will get anywhere.
I am also starting to understand content marketing, and how to leverage other people's audience (I got 4 Linkedin requests through it, but no work).
---------------------------------
So I ask HN, any good stuff I should read? Any YouTubers that don't make me want to bludgeon my head in?
or should I just ring these people up and kill my ego.
