Anyone ever got a referral from a senior staff at a bigger consulting firm but not received an interview? Is it worth trying another route into an interview or should I just pack up and move onto the next opportunity?

Our avg rev per client is $2500, with a lot of single projects @ $500. Does it makes sense to increase our prices?
