QUOTABLE
In four years, I've bid on dozens of RFPs, only to be short-listed
on one, and to receive another (the majority of my work has
come from personal contacts). I discussed this just last week
with a fellow consultant, and she concurred that the majority
(probably 85-90%) of all tourism bids are gained by huge consulting
conglomerates. The problem is that if you do happen to get hired
by these firms, you are paid peanuts (say $400 USD/day) for
work that they turn in as their own, getting paid upwards of
$2000-3000 USD/day for 'their' efforts. [Jeremy
