Clients need to know you're there so they can buy!
Clients choose consultants on a 3 step formula:
Step 1 - Availability - who do I know who does this?

Why you need to promote your business
If business is a little slow lately, or even if it's fast, you need to be constantly improving the Availability factor of your consultancy.
Clients choose you on a 3 step formula:
Step 1 - Availability
Step one is availability - Who do I know who does this? Who do I know who knows someone who does this?
Step 2 - Affability
Step two is affability - Do I like them? Do they seem credible and appropriate for my purpose?
Step 3 – Ability
Step three is ability. Do they have the skills?
If no one knows you're out there, and your availability rating is therefore low, it doesn't matter what your skills are. Raising your Availability rating is a must do for every consultancy, all the time.
