The way we do it is simple, we find a client with a particular need that we can
address, solve it (hopefully!) and then use them as our 'marketing tool',
as in, "Hey, these people really helped me out with X problem, Oh, you have
the same problem too? Here, let me give you their number..."

Now, the way to _get_ to the marketable client is to introduce a need THEN
the solution...

If this helps, E-mail me and I will tell you about us in more detail.
