It really depends on the client to be honest! Some clients don’t care about accolades, some do. In consulting, it’s often a ‘who you know’ kind of environment so credibility comes from experience and networking. Some clients enjoy detailed proposals (though be careful providing too much detail they can action this themselves!), some clients want the essential information. Some clients like regular meetings, some just want email updates. It really depends on the client, so the key is to know your client and establish expectations at the contracting stage.
