I just recently learned that 'blind' prospects, in addition to resumes, are more apt to respond if a case study is attached along with the resume! Write a 4 or 5 page case study on your projects. Sprinkle them with screen shots (or other graphics) from the project (use snagit gif files to keep the docs small).

Bill Sanders also has a service he is building (EF Group) to match developers with projects. You might also shoot him an email.

Guru.com is good (I have never got a project through them because I have the free account - but I receive a lot of offers - some are too cheap - some are great!) - but the pay-4-pro-service allows files to be attached to proposals - so that may be more productive!


>Hi All,

>I am attempting to put my software consulting company back together. I am looking for any suggestion on how to attract new clients. It has been over 10 years sense I had any clients. I decided back then to work as an employee, and let my existing clients slide. Most of them have moved on to other thing, and do not need my skills.

>So much seems to have changed, including me. I seem not to be able to get the ball in motion on finding new clients. I am looking for clients needing either FoxPro application work done, or web site design and development.

>Once again, I plead, can anyone suggest how I can get the ball moving?

>Thanks in advance.
