Lets be completely honest. There are a lot of talented people in our business. Over time, consiously or unconsiously, some of us choose to work together.
Sometimes we are suprised by desperate attempts to define these relationships as "profesional networks," when basically it's just a matter of good, oldfashioned trust. If you have a need of a bigger team, our friends are your friends, provided that they first gain your trust.
In this, we differ from bigger competitors, who give you the consultant who is least tied up.
