Win consulting work from a sharp offer, warm referrals and outreach timed to a real problem.

To get consulting clients, narrow your offer to one problem for one type of company, then work your existing network first, because former colleagues and clients bring most early projects. Add proof, such as a case study with results the client lets you share, post about the problem where buyers read, and email companies showing the trigger your work solves, such as a new leader or funding.
"I help B2B software companies shorten customer onboarding" sells better than "operations consulting". Pick a problem you've solved more than once, a type of company that has it and an outcome you can describe. Package the first step as a fixed-scope project, such as a two-week review with a written plan, so a buyer can say yes without a large commitment.
List everyone who has seen your work: former managers, colleagues who moved companies, past clients and vendors. Write each one a personal note saying what you do now and the exact kind of project you want, then ask who they know with that problem. A specific ask gets introductions; "let me know if you hear of anything" rarely does.
Write two or three short case studies: the situation, what you did and the result, in numbers the client agrees you can share. If you have no clients yet, do one project at a reduced scope for a company you'd like to name, in exchange for a written testimonial. Put the case studies on your site and link one in every email.
Your buyers read LinkedIn, a few newsletters and some industry communities. Post once or twice a week about the problem you solve: a mistake you see often, a before and after, a short teardown. Write for the person who would hire you, not for other consultants. Comments and connection requests from the right job titles are your warmest leads.
Most consulting needs start with an event: a new VP hired, a funding round, a job post for a role you could cover, a merger or a missed target in public results. Find 30 to 50 companies showing your trigger, find the person who owns the problem, and send a short email naming the event with one question about it. Follow up twice, a few days apart.
End every engagement with a written summary of results and a proposal for the next phase. Ask for a testimonial and an introduction to one named person while the results are fresh. Check in with past clients every quarter; when they move to a new company, they often bring you with them.

Consulting work starts with a problem and a moment: a new leader, a funding round, a job post for the role you could cover. Revnu watches for those moments at the companies you'd serve, finds the person who owns the problem and writes to them in your voice.
A consultant doesn't need hundreds of clients. You need a handful, reached in the weeks the problem is live. Revnu looks for that reason at each company, such as a new leader or a relevant job post, and opens with it.
Revnu can also draft LinkedIn posts in your voice about the problem you solve, for you to approve, so the people you email see the same thinking in their feed.
Revnu learns your voice from your website and the drafts you approve, and you can edit any email before it goes. Nothing sends without your approval by default.
Yes. Connect your LinkedIn account and Revnu sends connection requests and messages written for each person, spaced out through the day, and stops when someone replies on either channel.
Usually through someone who has already seen their work: a former employer, a colleague who moved companies or a contact from an industry group. Tell those people the exact problem you solve and the kind of company you want, and ask for one introduction. A small, fixed-scope first project makes it easy for that first client to say yes.
Yes, when it's narrow and timely. An email to the person who owns the problem, sent soon after an event that created it, with a relevant case study, gets replies. Broad emails listing your services to anyone with a senior title get ignored and can hurt your sending reputation.
Make your headline say who you help and with what. Post weekly about the problem you solve, connect with the job titles who hire for it, and message people who engage with your posts. Search for people who recently started a role at the kind of company you serve, since new leaders often bring in outside help.
Yes. Describe the problem you solve and the signal that shows a company has it, and Revnu finds matching companies, the person who owns the problem and a reason to write now, then drafts the email and the follow-ups for your approval.
You start with a free trial. Revnu asks for a card when you sign up and starts on what you typed straight away. After the trial, plans start at $99 a month. Cancel any time in Settings.
No. Nothing is checked or generated on this page. Revnu does the work inside your account, where it can read your website, keep what it finds and carry on from there.
