It writes in your voice from the questions clients ask you, keeps the people who know your work in touch at a pace that does not wear them out, and asks you before anything goes out.
2Client questions become posts and a newsletter in your voice
3Your network is kept in touch at a pace you set
4Notes to past clients and colleagues are drafted for you to approve
The short version
For an independent consultant, InstinctGTM keeps new work coming while client work fills the week. It turns the questions clients ask you into posts and a newsletter in your own voice, because people hire a consultant whose judgment they have already seen. It reminds you who in your network you have not spoken to, drafts the note, and watches the companies you would like to advise for the change that makes them need help. You approve every post and message before it goes.
An example plan
Your work comes from people who already know you, and that circle stops growing when you are busy.
For an independent consultant who advises finance teams, with one goal: have the next engagement agreed before this one ends.
01LinkedIn presence
30-day clock
Starts in week 1
People hire a consultant whose judgment they have already seen at work, and posts in your own voice show it.
First week: Three posts from questions clients ask you, approved and scheduled.
Most consulting work comes from people who know you, and asking them at the right pace keeps that path open.
First week: Add former colleagues and clients, and approve the first messages one at a time.
03Newsletter
90-day clock
Starts in weeks 2 to 3
A regular letter keeps you in mind for the week a reader needs help, which is rarely the week they first read you.
First week: Approve the first letter and invite the people you already know.
04Podcasts
90-day clock
Starts in month 2
A guest spot lets a whole audience hear how you think, which is what a consultant sells.
First week: Approve the shortlist of shows and the first pitches.
An example, from the starting shape the plan uses for this kind of business. Your plan is written from your own site and answers, and you approve every channel and its rules before it starts.
How do consultants get clients without a sales team?
Mostly through people who already know them, and through being seen to think clearly in public. Both stop when a project fills the week. It keeps both going: posts in your voice from the questions you answer every day, and a gentle note to the people you have not spoken to in a while.
Will the posts sound like me?
It learns your voice from your own writing and scores every draft against it before you see it. You edit or reject anything, and it learns from the edits.
Is cold email worth it for a consultant?
Only when it is about the company. A note that mentions the new head of finance they just hired, or the system they are moving to, is worth sending. It drafts that kind, from your own mailbox, and you approve each one.
Where it stops
What it does not do
It does not book calls or send invoices; the engagement is yours to agree.
It never messages anybody on LinkedIn for you, and never acts in your logged-in session.
Every post and message waits for your approval.
More questions
The time it takes to read and approve what it drafts. Each channel in your plan says how much time it needs from you each week before you approve it.
Yes. It drafts each issue in your voice from what you have been posting and the questions clients ask, and you approve it before it goes out.
It helps, because it reads your site to learn what you sell and who buys it. Without one, you answer a few questions instead.
