Christmas Parties Won’t Save Your Pipeline

Your office might throw a big Christmas party. 

 

You might hand out a few bonuses. 

 

You might even shut down early for team wellbeing. 

 

But if your pipeline is empty heading into December–January? 

 

None of that matters. 

 

Because here’s the truth: 

 

Good vibes won’t cover payroll. 

 

If your BD pipeline isn’t full before the holidays… 

 

You’re not celebrating - you’re stressing. 

 

Let’s fix that. 

 

Next Tuesday, I’m running an online workshop:

No scrambling in February to fill the gaps. 

 

No “it’ll be fine” optimism that leaves you behind. 

 

Just 90 minute...

Your End Of Year Pipeline Isn’t Full

When we grew our consultancy from $3M to $30M, we thought we had it all figured out. 

 

Revenue was climbing. Projects were bigger. The team was growing fast. 

 

But every year, something wasn’t working. 

 

Every December–January, the same thing happened. 

 

Projects slowed down. Clients went quiet. Invoicing stalled. 

 

But wages, rent, and overheads were still due. 

 

And without a full pipeline? 

 - Expenses sucked our business dry over the holidays  

 - The team had no certainty about what was next  

 - And we started the new year already behind 

 

Sound familiar? 

 

The truth is, most consultancy owners are stuck here. 

 

They want steady workload, consistent revenue, and the ability to switch off at Christmas… 

 

But every year the work dries up - and they spend months trying to catch up. 

 

That’s the problem. 

 

And next week, I’ll show you how to fix it. 

 

I’m running a 90-minute workshop called:

Projects slow down. Clients go quiet. Invoicing stall.

The Real Reason Your Pipeline Is Patchy

If your pipeline feels inconsistent... 

 

If one month you’re slammed, and the next you're chasing crumbs… 

 

It’s not a marketing problem. 

 

It’s a positioning problem. 

 

Because the truth is — the best clients don’t find their consultants by scrolling through tender platforms. 

 

They already know who they want to work with. 

 

They go straight to the experts. 

 

So if you want a consistent pipeline filled with high-quality clients, you need to shift from chasing work to attracting it. 

 

Here’s how: 

 

— Become Known for Something Specific — 

Stop trying to be the “we can do everything” firm. That’s not how trust works. 

Get laser clear on your niche, your expertise, and what makes your firm different. 

 

— Share Your Thinking Publicly — 

Post content that showcases your knowledge and approach. Not fluff. Not ads. 

But real insights that help your ideal client move forward. 

 

— Build a Reputation That Precedes You — 

Most consultants think visibility is...

Want More Profit? Check Out My New Book

You’re not running a charity. 

  

So why are your profit margins still stuck in the teens? 

  

If you’re delivering great work — but not seeing it reflected in your bank account — this is for you. 

  

I just launched my new book: 

  

Profitable Engineering Consultant

It breaks down the exact strategies that helped us grow from $3M to $30M — and hit consistent 30%+ net margins. 

  

Here’s a quick preview: 

  

1) Stop the Profit Leakage — 

  

Most firms bleed profit in delivery. This shows you how to plug the gaps and run profitable projects — month after month. 

  

2) Simplify and Scale — 

  

Restructure your team, remove the noise, and build a business that doesn’t fall apart when you take a week off. 

  

3) Win More — Without Competing on Price 

  

How we repositioned our business to attract higher-value clients and stopped trying to be the cheapest. 

  

If you’re serious about running a more profitable, scalable con...

Struggling To Hire or Win Work? Try this

You didn’t start your consultancy to become a recruiter. Or a full-time BD chaser. 

  

But here you are... 

  

Writing job ads no one applies for… 

  

Losing good people to flashier firms… 

  

Watching competitors win work (even though you’re better)… 

  

And burning hours trying to fix it all yourself… 

  

  

Finding good people right now feels hard. 

  

Winning the right clients? Even harder. 

  

  

The worst part? 

  

It’s not because you’re not good enough. 

  

It’s because no one knows how good you are. 

  

You’re invisible. 

  

Not to your team. Not to your current clients. 

  

But to the ones who would pay more, stay longer, and raise your business to that next level… 

  

And until you fix that. You’ll stay stuck. 

  

If you’ve been telling yourself: 

“I’m not a social media person…” 

“I don’t have time to post…” 

or 

“I wouldn’t even know what to say…” 

  

  

Then this week’s episode of The Ignite Podcast is made for you.

Admin Support – How To Get It Right

You already know you shouldn’t be doing admin. 

  

You’ve told yourself a dozen times: 

“I’ll hand this off soon…” 

“It’s just quicker if I do it…” 

“We’re not quite ready to hire yet…” 

  

But here’s the truth: 

  

You’re not stuck because you lack ambition. 

 

You’re stuck because you’re still doing work that keeps you playing small. 

  

It’s not that admin isn’t important — it’s vital. 

 

But if you’re the one sending invoices, following up payments, juggling calendars, chasing contracts… 

 

You’re spending your best hours in the engine room when you should be on the bridge. 

  

And every time you push strategic work aside for “just a quick admin task,” 

 

You push back your ability to: 

— Win bigger projects 

— Lead your team effectively 

— Grow your business beyond $3M, $5M… and into $10M+ territory 

  

In this week’s episode of the podcast, I walk you through exactly how to shift out of the weeds... 

 

and into the role your business needs you to play....
