Just picked up the book. A friend and I are looking to start our own software dev agency in 2017, which will probably be closer to consulting work in the beginning. I look forward to giving your book a read.
Thank you for your business! Let me know if you have any questions and send me an email if you want to hang in the Slack channel.
Giving talks at meetups is a great way to build credibility (and attract clients) for a software agency or consultant. In the book, I give a step-by-step formula for building a pipeline of scheduled talks.
