What sector do you specialize in and why?
How have you been f*cked over professionally?
What time do you go to bed?
I’d raise it with your leadership team. Here are xyz people I’d like to target with abc initiatives/POVs. Ask them to help you refine the message/POV.
If it’s completely new biz to them (no current traction) they will be pretty open to any shot in the dark you want to take.
Selling in consulting is never a solo effort and shouldn’t be. You’ll be crushed by firms who attack the same problem with complementing expertise sets. If you generate the lead, you’ll still get the internal credit, even if you get others involved before it closes.

Absolutely do not do this. This is not how sales works. I would suggest finding a mentor to first discuss the process and approach it as something you want to start learning about. (I'm a consultant currently selling semi-independently.)
