What happens when you spend $150,000 trying to win new business and then have almost nothing to show for it? Well, for Kamar Perkins, that experience completely changed how he thought about growing a consulting business.

Kamar is a military veteran and founder of the Protech Consulting Group, where he has built a growing technology consulting business focused on areas including AI, machine learning, and digital transformation. What makes his story so interesting is that he didn't come from a technology background.

In this episode, you're going to hear how he went from submitting roughly 30 RFPs per month with zero wins to building business through relationships, strategic partnerships, and consistent prospecting. We also explore his approach to hiring, why he believes that relationships matter more than networks, and what he would do completely differently if he was starting all over again.

If you're looking for a smarter way to create opportunities and grow your consulting business, you're going to want to hear this conversation with Kamar.

Enjoy.
