Hello Reader,

📍 From the Top

April 2025 brought us critical shifts in consulting client acquisition that demand immediate attention.

Traditional referrals have dropped 15% while digital search has surged 11%, signaling an urgent need to revamp your online presence.

With 90% of companies lacking clear cross-border procurement strategies, this creates both vulnerability and opportunity.

This week we examine digital transformation's impact on referrals, geographic variations in partnerships, and Brandon Gano's innovative work at HumanOp Technologies-all reshaping how successful consultants attract and retain clients.
