I'd be curious about stories on how to approach potential customers without existing relationships. Do you just cold email them?

Yes.
And post online. And submit links to aggregator services. And message people on social media. And go to face-to-face events and sell to people. And post in places even if they say you shouldn't promote things.

This is why I am a firm believer that marketeers are a different breed of people altogether. Marketeers, recruiters, managers, sales, etc.
I mean software developers are weird, but THESE people, yikes. (this message is tongue in cheek)
Thanks. I guess there's different ways to go about it though, I can respect a cold email which asks for my consent before starting the sales pitch in a 2nd email for example

This is worth remembering. Always hated receiving cold emails.

No you got to have friends and acquaintances who have that problem.
