I don't contact them any more really, it's pretty much all direct contact from clients through my portfolio or referrals.
I do have a CV/resume with a number of recruiters too which brings in agency work.

You'll never get a straight answer from here. There are two ways really;
a) Teach yourself how to sell
b) Partner up with agencies/people who can provide you with work

I tell them they gotta do all their business through me, otherwise I tell them they will lose my protection.

At first I looked for them, but now work comes my way which is pretty sweet.
Do good work and give it about a year and it will come to you.

Also, I know a guy up in Maine whose portfolio I browse through every now and then to see if there has been any changes in the client list. I then call some of them up to say that I'm handling all their work from now on because their previous consultant has a real bad case of cock warts and he needs to rest for a little while.
- somebody tried to steal one of my contacts like that once, by offering cheaper service. The contact called me right away asking who that guy was, and it was a college "friend" who apparently was keeping up with my portfolio... wonder how many other people he tried doing that with...SoulFly
