  Can I ask what your niche is?

      That is fairly specialized! It sounds like you're in a great position. "Getting one's sales in order" is by far the hardest part, though. I have no idea how to do that.

        its hard in the beginning, true. make sure to tell EVERYONE what you are doing. most early opportunities came through people who knew people who knew people with money and problems. you d be surprised how many companies look for help but dont really advertise it. after a year or so, new jobs will begin to just flow in as you will have built creds. then you essentially can pick and choose. also learn to think like your buyers. help them to win. dont sell, cooperate. be a partner.
