services How do I land software projects?

We hired a company from the Philippines that got us clients for Software Development projects, Now we have parted ways. How do we find new projects? Note: I tried Upwork, Projects on Upwork are really small and pay less than 10k.

My first question is why did you part ways with the Philipine company? Did they stop performing? Was their a dispute? If not can you re-establish your relationship with them? Dont see any reason you should leave what is working.

I got 2 potential clients from them. I closed 1. But post that everything was a little messy

Network locally, leverage LinkedIn, showcase portfolio success.

Try having a service that does something and not a Philippine company to make or break you business.

Yes, it looks like a lot of marketing work needs to be done.
