You’re stuck in the feast and famine cycle!
One month, you’re drowning in client work. The next, your pipeline is bone dry. It’s a rollercoaster every consultancy owner knows all too well.
It starts the same way for so many consultancy owners. You’ve built something extraordinary. Clients love your work, and your expertise is second to none.
But no matter how much success you achieve, you dread the prospect of going back to the famine.
When you look closer, you notice the cracks. And they’re hard to ignore.
Most of your business comes from referrals or recommendations. While they’re great, you have no control over when the next one will land.
You’ve dabbled in marketing, but it hasn’t delivered. Most of the leads you generated? Dead ends.
You’ve invested time and money into shiny tools and appointment setters, but the ROI wasn’t there.
And no matter how much effort you put in, the nagging thought remains: What if the famine comes again?
You’re not alone in this struggle. It’s a story I’ve heard from countless consultancy owners. But for every frustrated consultancy owner, there’s a way forward—a better path.
One day, you hear about a consultancy growth system that promises clarity and results. You’re intrigued but sceptical.
You decide that there’s nothing to lose by having a call with the creator of the system.
On the call, you meet someone who doesn’t just understand where you are—they’ve been there. I’ve faced the same struggles, made the same mistakes, and come out the other side with a system that works.
The guide (that’s me!) helps you see the truth:
To truly grow, you need to focus on attracting and winning brand-new, ideal clients.
Why? Because these clients are the ultimate barometer of your consultancy’s performance.
It’s different to what you’ve heard everyone else say - that consultancies need to focus on referrals from their clients and networks.
The guide also explains a powerful principle of how this all fits together:
You need a system to consistently reconnect with ideal prospects who weren’t ready before so you can catch them when they are ready.
And you can’t ignore what got you here—referrals and recommendations. Instead, you need a system to nurture and amplify them.
Armed with these insights, you decide you’re ready to set off to build the system that will transform your consultancy.
At first, the guide’s advice feels counterintuitive. “Focus on just one ideal client? One channel? For an entire year? How could that possibly work?”
Doubts creep in:
What if I’m targeting the wrong clients?
What if I miss opportunities by narrowing my focus?
What if this fails?
But you take a leap of faith. You stick with it.
The first three months are tough. Building the foundation feels slow. Frustration bubbles up—why aren’t the results coming faster? You question everything.
Then, it happens. Your system launches, and suddenly, the game changes.
You start seeing a steady flow of leads. The sales calls are different—they’re with prospects who get your value and are ready to buy. For the first time, you’re converting calls into ideal clients consistently.
By month six, something even more surprising happens. Those “not ready” prospects? They come back. The nurturing system is doing its job, and by the end of the year, those slow burners you thought would go nowhere have turned into paying clients.
Then, you turned to referrals.
This time, you had a process. You started asking your clients and network for introductions to people who matched your ideal client profile. You shared valuable free resources, and to your surprise, this simple step created a steady flow of referred prospects who trusted you from the start.
Now, you weren’t just generating new business—you had a sustainable pipeline, and the feast and famine cycle began to fade into memory.
Looking back, it’s hard to believe how far you’ve come.
The feast and famine cycle? Gone.
Waking up stressed—worried about where the next lead will come from! A distant memory.
Your consultancy isn’t just surviving—it’s thriving. You’re no longer at the mercy of chance. You’ve built a system that doesn’t just generate leads—it creates a sustainable, scalable pipeline.
And the biggest surprise? The transformation wasn’t just about getting clients. It was about peace of mind, control, and knowing that your business now works for you—not the other way around.
If this story feels familiar, it’s because it was written for consultancy owners like you. The feast and famine cycle doesn’t have to be your reality.
