For consultants and fractional executives
How do I stop the feast-or-famine cycle as a consultant?
Keep a small amount of business development going every week, even when you are busy delivering. Feast or famine happens because selling stops when client work fills the diary. A short weekly plan, a few relationship touches and a quick pipeline review each week keep the next piece of work arriving before the current one ends.
Why does work keep arriving in waves?
You know the cycle. A busy month delivering, no time to sell, then an empty month and a scramble. Round it goes again.
The usual fix is a resolution to be more consistent. It lasts until the first busy week, and then the plan sits in a notebook.
The real problem is a rhythm problem, not a lead problem: business development disappears the moment client work becomes urgent.
How to stop feast or famine, step by step
- 01
Set a weekly plan. Pick the few activities that grow your business, with a target for each: pipeline reviews, real conversations, relationship touches and posts.
- 02
Tick them off as you go. Nynch tracks your progress across the week, so you can see at a glance what is done and what is left.
- 03
Watch your say:do ratio. It shows whether you did what you said you would, week after week. It is the honest number behind consistency.
- 04
Block the time. Set your working days and hours so the plan has a real place in your week, and share it with a coach or accountability partner if that helps.
What changes when business development never stops?
You never sit there wondering what to do next, and month after month the work keeps coming, even when you are flat out delivering. The empty months shrink, and so does the panic that goes with them.

Questions people ask
How much time does business development need each week?
Less than most people think, if it happens every week. A few hours of planned activity, done consistently, beats a frantic burst when the diary empties.
What should be in a weekly business development plan?
A pipeline review, a set number of real conversations, relationship touches with past clients and contacts, and something that keeps you visible, such as a post or an article.
What is a say:do ratio?
The share of the activities you planned that you actually did. Nynch calculates it each week, so you can see whether your plan is real or wishful.
Does Nynch send messages for me?
No. Nynch prepares the draft, the reason and the context. You read it, edit it and decide when it goes. Nothing is sent, queued or approved without you.
