Hello Reader,
βπ From the Top
As we navigate mid-May's business planning season, the data on partnership-driven growth is becoming impossible to ignore. Strategic partnerships are generating 4X higher conversion rates than cold outreach, with 73% improved client retention when clients come through trusted introductions.
This week's newsletter explores how quantifiable trust metrics are reshaping consulting acquisition strategies. We examine the measurable value of warm introductions, delve into partnership statistics transforming traditional channels, and share insights from Hunter Jensen's journey from service provider to product creator.
These numbers reveal a fundamental shift β the future of consulting growth lies not in more marketing spend, but in stronger strategic relationships.

In this episode of Software Spotlight, host Michael Bernzweig interviews Hunter Jensen, founder and CEO of Barefoot Solutions. They discuss Hunter's journey from freelance PHP developer to leading a custom software development company that has evolved to focus on AI and data science.
π¦ Weekly Spotlight
Data-validated relationship economics are replacing traditional marketing in consulting. Metrics now confirm warm introductions deliver substantially higher client value than advertising or cold outreach. While paid acquisition costs have risen 37% year-over-year, partnership-driven acquisition costs decrease as networks strengthen. The Barefoot Solutions case demonstrates this perfectly β transitioning to product partnerships created predictable revenue with 3X higher margins. These patterns suggest consulting firms should shift resources from marketing to systematic partnership development with clear attribution metrics.
