How to market our MEP consulting engineering business
(OP)
Does anyone know a website or have any tips on writing "introducing our company" emails to architects? How can I word the email to get them to at least give us a meeting?

If you can set up a personal meeting over the phone, that's the best. Maybe a "Lunch and Learn" with lower level employees.
Even better is using past relationships to cultivate new ones.

Sending just an email will not likely get you very far. Having them see you post for a while will give you some name recognition, which might help you approach them

I've seen some architects change their MEP consulting firms with changes in the wind, and I've seen others who are almost suffering from a form of Stockholm syndrome. In the latter case, the MEP consulting firm that comes to mind was notorious for not responding to submittals and RFIs in a timely manner, designs which resulted in numerous changeorders, and many other problems. And yet they have a business relationship going on 15+ years. I don't get it.

But if you are a white man, tough luck. You'd be better off if you were Indian, chinese, Korean, Philipino, black, hispanic, veteran or woman, etc. - they all have the 8 (a) status and set asides for government work.
or get your wife (ves) to own the business (51%) - and she (they) must be involved in it. and go for woman owned business.
In the mid-Atlantic, mostly government work, if you're a white man, forget it.
Choosing a job where we depend on an architect to give us work, we are doomed, we will always eat generic food.

With that a structural that networked in an Architect and a few Engineers, including us, just got kicked off of a gravy train. So its not out of the question that a developer, corporation or Architect is looking for a new consultant, even if they have been using the same team for a while.
Just don't generic spam emails.
