How To Make A New Business Seem "Bigger" Than It Actually Is?

[th.ri.ll]

Hi everyone,

After much wannabe-entrepreneurism I have settled on a software agency I'd like to pursue that is in the same industry I currently work a job in and has few competitors which all have a nice customer base.

I'm in the process of building a website and also going to start cold calling/emailing soon (I have experience in sales). However, in the beginning it is often hard to get traction or sales because of a lack of credibility or reputation. What are some ways you guys have seen or done to make your company appear larger than it is to establish credibility in the beginning? (Even if they are ... morally grey).

Thanks for all the tips/suggestions!
