Faced with a finite 'pie' of work I have indeed sought to make it bigger since doing this survey. I wrote a <a href="http://www.thefeistyempire.com/resources/2009_TFE_CorporateBlogging.pdf" rel="nofollow">Corporate Blogging article </a>and sent it to all my clients and prospects. The response has exceeded all my former business generation initiatives. I'm currently sifting through a truckload of great feedback. I expect paying gigs to flow soon. Wish me luck!

If you do not ask clients for feedback you are doing business in the dark or guessing as Malcolm said. Also I noticed a few said they didn't have the need, were you able to probe this a little further as it may uncover other opportunities that they had not thought of. This could also be the case with have to use internal staff first. As an example a recruiter I know gets work by saying if internally it does not work out or it becomes bogged down, we thrive on the tough jobs. Just a thought. Looking forward to reading part 3.

As a result we are instigating a similar process to staff to find out what they think about the business and management. The results will be interesting. Thanks for the great idea! Hi Paul,
