When I asked about their processes, methodologies, project management, reporting, staffing, sourcing, risk managment, etc., their answer was something along the lines: "we're not *that* kind of consultants who will try and rip you off with useless overhead. We're getting things done."

    Which shows me that in some industries consultants have such a bad reputation that selling project or program management even seems to be something *bad*, something unprofessional. While many telecoms might not understand or grasp the reach and impact of "new media", many of technology-centric companies should be able to understand the terror and anger when you would pickup the phone and you have no dial tone (Hello Twitter).
