Top Solutions Every Consultant Ought To Know (Ep54)

Today, I'm sharing the top solutions that every consultant should know.

Do you have a goal of growing a high-impact, high-income consulting business? Do you want the control it will give you over your career, to make great use of your experience, and to make a difference? 

Here's the problem – especially if you're brand new, you probably have a misconception of what a consultant does. And if you don't know what a consultant does, you don't know what to sell.

If you don't know what to sell, you avoid marketing like the plague and procrastinate on meeting someone who expresses interest in your services. 

In this episode, we're going to turn this around. 

I'll be going over my top five consulting solutions – what they are, why you need to know them, and how to get started.

I have shared some of my Disney background with you through this series. The short story is that after my masters in OD, I landed my dream job at Disney as an internal OD consultant. I had a leader who ran our internal department like we were an external consultancy and expected that we invest 20% of our time building up our mastery in the consulting best practices.

We did quarterly work sessions.

We did weekly practice sessions.

We created an intranet site called the OD workbench that contained all of these best practices we could access wherever we were on the property, which served as an inspiration for a program that I created that I called The Consultant's toolbox.

This is why marketing didn't scare me when I started my business, even though it was new to me. I was confident in what I'd do with a client once I got one.
