Your Advice is appreciated

I am a reseller of discounted priority mail through stamps.com.

What would be the best way to market to businesses? My target customer is any business who ships ground or priority mail.

I have found it is beneficial to partner with those who are already on platforms that support a stamps.com integration. I have also sought out partnerships with ecommerce programmers as they are the ones building the site and can easily incorporate stamps.com

Any Suggestions?

      I am mostly calling them, or connecting on LinkedIn. It takes the right person to grasp the opportunity. I am also working on getting in a few non profits to refer business and cut them in. There is quite a bit of $ to be made and not at the expense of the customer. Everybody wins! The customers gets the best rates available and the non profit can create recurring income, or partner for that matter. My biggest challenge is people think there is a catch.

    What I find is that people are naturally prone to not trust you. They think you are out to get them in some way and thus think that there is a catch.

    If they don't see the value in your service by talking to you perhaps you can offer up some customer reports or success story whitepapers. I have worked for many companies that use this as a means of gaining instant credibility.

    Do you have any of your specific customers that you can leverage for this type of thing?
