Word-of-mouth leads in Kansas City - what worked for you?

I asked around at a community meeting and got three leads. This is my first time dealing with any of this. They like a brief email with a résumé. Does anyone have similar leads?

A short email with two sentences about what you can do and your résumé attached worked for me. I followed up after a week.

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 11 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
