Focusing on new opportunities vs delivering assigned tasks on time w high quality

like

A lot of time seniors look for consultants “on the ground” to help identify opportunities at the client since we most likely have the most face time. Just be keen on listening to client wants and needs - a lot of times just listening to their complaints, if you realize there’s an offering that would help then bring it up to your lead and work from there. Just keep building strong, positive relationships with your client. Also it’s good to approach these ideas with your lead before solutioning with the client right away bc you want to approach it the right way. Just let your seniors know you want to be involved in the process

Can someone share their experience if faced the similar issue?
