How One Introduction Built a Consulting Practice
David Bingham introduced Glen to Danny Watts. Danny placed Glen at Mobilization Funding.
One phone call. One referral. An entire consulting pipeline.
The Chain
Four entities. One pipeline. Built entirely on trust.
The Philosophy
Why this works better than anything else.
Relationships over job boards
The best consulting work comes through people who know your work. Not through applications, not through recruiters who don't understand what you build. Through someone who has seen you deliver and trusts you enough to put their name behind the introduction.
One strong connection beats 100 LinkedIn applications
David Bingham made one introduction. That introduction led to Danny Watts. Danny placed Glen at Mobilization Funding. One chain of trust created an entire consulting practice. No job board in the world can replicate that.
Build something great and the network builds itself
Delivery Hub. 85 production releases. 90%+ test coverage. When you build things that actually work, people notice. They tell other people. The best marketing is shipping real software that solves real problems.
The weekly rhythm
Real business relationships operate on trust built over weeks and months, not hours and days. You can't evaluate a consultant in an hour-long interview. You can't build trust in a day. But over weeks of shipping production code, the relationship proves itself. That's how Mobilization Funding operates, and it's how every serious professional partnership should work.
“The best things in my career have come from people I already knew trusting me enough to make an introduction. Not from applications. Not from recruiters. From relationships.”
— Glen Bradford
