10 years in business development and sales. The last few years, in GTM.
One pattern I keep noticing across every industry I've worked in.
The most capable consultants I've met are almost never the ones whose LinkedIn looks the most impressive.
Their expertise is 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹. Their results speak for themselves. But their online presence often doesn't reflect the level they're actually operating at.
Generic headline. Little proof of the work they've done. Nothing that signals the seniority they clearly have when you're in a room with them.
And here's the thing.
Clients are looking you up before the call, during the negotiation, sometimes even after they've already said yes internally.
If what they find online doesn't match what they experienced talking to you, it creates doubt.
Not because the work isn't worth it. Because the presence doesn't back it up.
I've seen this quietly cost consultants leverage in pricing conversations more times than I can count.
That's a big part of why I've joined Contra.
I'm helping consultants strengthen the way they present themselves online, so their digital presence actually reflects the level they operate at and the fees they charge.
Because great work deserves to look like great work.
If you're a consultant, does this sound familiar?

When I moved from Upwork to Contra, I wasn’t sure whether I was making the right decision.
Now? I’m never going back.
Contra has given me more than a place to find work. It has connected me with clients who value my professional perspective, trust my expertise, and invest accordingly. It’s also given me visibility, community and the space to grow from an independent designer into a collaborative studio that’s continuing to expand.
So, if you’re just starting out on Contra, take this as your sign to keep going. Show up, share your work and give it time. You never know what it could grow into.
Wow...Thanks so much for this, Sydelle
