Modeling vs Money

I have been involved in energy conservation for about 4 years and about 6 months ago decided to focus on building modeling using DOE Tools (E+, OpenStudio). I am doing this on a consulting basis and not having enough luck to keep the money flowing quickly enough. Modeling seemed like a service that not a great deal of ESCO's want to deal with because of the learning curve so I took it on. I thought it would make sense to provide an assesment (including financials) along with the cost of not making the investment to building owners but it seems like I get no traction. Am I a dog chasing it's tail?
