Lex Rose (and I do recognize the name and the hometown), Mike Dunbar is a very wise voice in this discussion. He knows the business and lives it.
It is absolutely true that you're unlikely to pitch a song successfully before you have developed some actual relationships, one way or another. Someone needs to be willing to listen to what you're playing.
The other way to get a song out to peoples' ears is to perform it yourself. Performing is also a way to meet people, find collaborators and otherwise network. Not every songwriter is able to perform, and I know that wasn't the initial question you asked; but if you *can* perform (and I know that you can), it's probably a more effective sales/networking tool than making recordings and hoping to play them for someone.
