What you'll get
For selling parts and contract work to other companies: Ian Sandusky, who runs a machine shop in Canada, covers three places to look for jobs in order: current customers who may not send you all their parts, old customers and old quotes, and cold calling. It is a ten-minute video that starts with relationships you already have, so use it to plan this week's calls before you spend on advertising.
Do this week
List your current customers and every old customer or quote from the last two years, call the five with the most work you could take on, and ask NCMEP how to be listed in its ManufacturedNC directory.
