    So what ways of approaching businesses works for those of you who are self-employed and staying afloat? How do you figure out which person you actually need to send your stuff to? Do you just pick up the phone? I know the approach varies from one company to the next, for example with corporations you'd try to go straight to their marketing director/VP, and with smaller businesses/organizations it would be easier to cold-call and ask who makes such decisions... Almost every bit of freelance work I've done to date has been through word of mouth, and that ain't working out so well besides the one good client mentioned above.
