Maybe? When I do contracting/consulting, I am usually working for similar types of businesses in industries I already know solving very similar problems. I don't get paid to learn on the job, and I don't really want to spend unpaid time doing work...unless I already have an deep interest in the industry. At the same time, it is a lot easier to sell yourself as an "expert" in a particular industry/area (SaaS for small business, dental practices, etc), or an "expert" at solving a particular type of problem (boosting retention rates, unscrewing a sales team/process, etc). The idea of being a fresh set of eyes and hitting the low hanging fruit? Maybe, but the pay for that is not really that great in general and it is a lot harder to sell...IMHO I am not sure this helps at all...
