have managed to find some leads mainly through our professional contacts

Good. Keep doing that. Then get referrals from your referrals. This has always worked well for me.

RFPs I never do. You have little control and have to compete. Look for opportunities where there is no competition.

hit the streets? Absolutely.

Hold workshops? These can be very effective for prospects deeper in your pipeline, but they can also be quite time consuming.

Attend ‘networking’ events? Every one you can. You'll soon learn which are worthwhile and which are not.

Search online? I haven't found much success doing this.



Agree on RFPs/Tenders. If you suspect that a company has had help with their tender from a preferred supplier, unless you're desperate for work or have a lot of spare time, run away.
