It is not the universal expectation of clients that they be able to reach consultants on the telephone if they have $20k invested in that relationship.
n.b. For many consultancies that is near or below the effective floor number to get them in the door, rather than being a huge anchor account.
- jiggy2011 13y agoI guess those are cases with larger or more established consultancies where there is already a reputation and probably at least a switchboard number. If you're just hiring random freelancers who advertise on job boards there are quite a few fly-by-nights.

- jiggy2011 13y agoThe specifics are not made very clear in the article, so there are many possible scenarios.
- lnanek2 13y agoActually the article seems very close to that. The person mentions having only their cell phone and Google Voice. I doubt they work for a large consultancy. You tend to have office managers/assistants/schedulers/etc. after the first 5 people or so if not sooner. It doesn't make sense to waste high paid consultant time on things they can do and calls they can take.
