From Freelancing to Consulting: Finding Your First Clients
Transitioning from freelancing to establishing your own consulting firm can be both exciting and daunting. As someone who has gained valuable experience through MBA internships at consulting firms and various freelance opportunities focused on strategy and finance for early-stage startups, I am ready to take the plunge into entrepreneurship. However, one major challenge I am currently facing is securing a steady flow of clients.
I’m reaching out to the community for genuine insights and strategies: How did you connect with your initial clients when you branched out on your own?
I’m not looking for shortcuts or gimmicks but rather practical advice based on your experiences. If there are particular channels, methods, or strategies that proved effective for you, I would love to hear about them.
Your advice could be invaluable, not only to me but also to others in the same situation. Thank you in advance for sharing your thoughts!
