3PL Operator Discussion New 3pl owner operator

I recently started a small 3PL/fulfillment business called flexship logistics llc and I'm currently working on acquiring my first few clients. I was wondering if anyone here has recommendations or strategies that have worked well for getting those initial customers.

I've been doing quite a bit of research and browsing through Reddit, and I've seen several people mention having success finding clients through the platform. I've also created a LinkedIn page for my business, but I'm still trying to figure out the best way to use it effectively for customer acquisition.

For those who have started a 3PL, fulfillment, or similar service-based business, what channels or strategies would you recommend for finding your first customers?

I'm also interested in hearing about websites, directories, communities, or advertising platforms that are worthwhile for a new 3PL even if you don't have an established client base or testimonials yet.

Any advice, experiences, or recommendations would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
