If you honestly think you are going to fold in coming months, why not hire a sales/marketing person? Hopefully, he/she will be able to turn your business around/get new clients/etc.
About BigCo, I agree with you but I was thinking more about an industrial/tech fit something along the lines "this tech adapted to my needs would help me be a lot more competitive. Buying the company might be simpler than paying a lot of customization.". Not sure about the validity of that.
It is better now and it should bear fruit soon.
Our sales guy has much better result this year, but this is one to one communication/sales. It works but doesn't scale.
That's why our marketing needs to be more efficient. We are selling software, we should be able to do most of the sales conviction (sp?) via the net.
