1 Comment - Hi , is there anyway you can advise me on how to get clients for a new SharePoint consulting company . i am starting my small SharePoint development service in the UK but i don't know where or how to get the clients from. i s there anyway for getting contracts without spending a lot on marketing of course due to the budget. so i am looking for a quick start up
Streamline how to get to the best SharePoint talent without the need for subcontractors to then subcontract to 2 other subcontractors… (I digress, but the amount of money I have personally seen on submitting a Statement of Work \ Proposal to a Federal Agency and then the track that has taken for 2 or 3 more firms to get involved to take an initial hourly rate from $140/hour rate to an eventual $240/hour rate blows my mind)

I am not a Band wagoner… My firm and all of my staff at EPC Group, who by the way are much smarter than me, have serious different approaches to implementing SharePoint in a global enterprise than Microsoft Consulting Services and the other 2 or three firms similar to them.
