Starting a Consultancy: How Do I Find and Approach My First Clients?

I am going to start up my own Consultancy Services. Need to know which clients I should start with. How do I approach new companies? What would be the benefit-sharing percentage? Please help me understand.

You need to prepare a profile and can directly start calling and sending emails to HR heads. Then you can speak to them and start fixing appointments. But to cater to their needs, you need to have a sufficient database of candidates. I am also planning to start the same; we can work together. If interested, you can call me at [Phone Number Removed For Privacy Reasons].

I hope by this time you must have established your consultancy. Also, I hope that it is running well. I would request if you can share your experience with me so that I may have some knowledge regarding a consultancy business.

Regards,
Mirza
