Building my first B2B product in Australia. How did you get your first customers?
Hi All,
NSW-based, manufacturing background, but very new to software development.

>Cold calls? LinkedIn? Email? Existing network? Industry events? Literally walking into businesses?

>And did you have something publicly deployed when doing this, or were you still running everything locally/private?
