7-Figure Consulting Business With 1 Product with Phil Risher
How can experience in corporate sales roles and a digital marketing side hustle become the foundation for a thriving 7-figure consulting firm? Phil Risher, founder of Phlash Consulting, shares his unique journey, which included running a personal finance blog, living in a converted school bus, and dramatically boosting a client's business before launching his own consultancy focused on home service businesses. Phil reveals the strategic thinking behind his service model and how he differentiates his firm. He emphasizes embracing the consulting aspect over being just another agency: "I could have called it Phlash Digital... but I didn't. I called it Phlash Consulting. Why?

There are a lot of people who are working on building their consulting businesses.

Oftentimes, it's because they're not working the plan even though they have the plan in front of them.

Michael’s role within his organization is to support other people in the organization by helping them with proposals, contracts, and presentations. He discusses what the process looks like once he’s identified an ideal client, someone that he believes that his organization can help. He outlines the steps to qualify consulting clients to be able to sit down with them, have a meaningful conversation, and then get to the proposal stage. Love the show?

Organizational Culture And Change Consulting Growth with Donna Brighton: Podcast #60
In the consulting world, unfortunately, there are times where people are being put into projects or roles that aren’t necessarily their best fit.

Scaling a 7-Figure Consulting Business with Scott Eastin: Podcast #57
When you’re selling yourself, a project, or a technology, at least from a technical perspective, firms want to find a technical implementer that can talk the tech talk but even more importantly be able to relate to those that write the checks. That's what Scott Eastin, owner of Eastin IT Security, would say is his big advantage. Scott can do the technical work, but more importantly, he can get up in front of people, tell some jokes, and try to make things fun when talking about technology or at least not put people to sleep. He says having those types of skills makes it a lot easier to close business. At the end of the day, Scott says if you put on your buyer's hat, that person wants to know if they can trust you to implement this particular technology or if you are someone that they trust and can do business with. Scott says that’s how he’s been able to scale a seven-figure consulting business and what helps him get lots of repeat customers. Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!

How To Productize Consulting Services with John Warrillow: Podcast #55
To productize consulting services and build a sellable company, the ultimate challenge is to try to find something that you offer which is truly unique to what you do. It's very likely that if you canvas your customers, there is one or two things that you do better than anybody else. The raw material is going to be customer insight. Bestselling author and founder of five companies John Warrillow says they spend a lot of time talking to their customers and their salespeople as well to get a good intuition and a good sense of what is it that makes people buy from running the company. John says a fundamental decision consultants need to make answers two questions, “Do I want to have a lifestyle business where at the end of the day when I'm ready to retire, I close the doors and move on and there’s no value created?” or, “Do I want to create something of lasting value that is bigger than me personally that has an exit potential?” Love the show?

The King Of Sales: Unlocking The Secrets Of Sales And Consulting Success with Jeffrey Gitomer: Podcast #53
If you're going to be successful in business, you have to be a salesperson. King of Sales Jeffrey Gitomer gives an account of his journey from selling Encyclopedia Britannica to consulting to writing and to creating a sales training empire. Jeffrey says consulting is a very easy way to begin to make money, but a very difficult way to continue to make money. He decided to stop and dabbled into writing because it’s been said that writing takes you from expert to authority. He developed written sales strategies based on personal experiences from his consulting practice and wrote a column for a business journal.

Becoming A 7 Figure Consultant Through Relationships With Barc Holmes: Podcast #52
Maybe it’s time to reconsider your marketing approach, particularly in your path to becoming a 7-figure consultant. While some people invest a lot of time into creating content or figuring out how to do advertising or speaking or going to a lot of trade shows, Barc Holmes of Coral Mountain Consulting has found an approach that works well for him. He is a master of not only building and nurturing, but strengthening relationships. Using his simple Agile user experience delivery framework, Barc says that he can guarantee an increase in your development team’s velocity by at least 25%. And if you value relationships, the potential results could be astounding . But here’s the thing: Advertising doesn't exist in a digital way. The difference between marketing and advertising and experience are all blurred together. You're providing information and value and if you want that value, you continue to have a relationship with that brand or those people. They're your friends more than they're your clients. With over 25 years of experience working with digital development executives in Fortune 500 companies like Disney, Intuit, Verizon, Citrix, American Honda, and many others, Barc has helped teams innovate, test, and deliver results faster. If you consider yourself a good manager or executive who needs just a few tips to move even a bit faster, then Coral Mountain Consulting is for you. Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!

Building A Consultant Growth Mindset For Greater Success: Podcast #51
The people that I see that struggle the most are those that say to themselves, “I want to see greater success. I want to see a greater result in my life and my business,” but yet, they're not prepared to change anything that they're currently doing. They're just trying to do more of the same stuff. If the same stuff isn't getting you to where you want to go, then doing more of it is not going to help. Isn't that the definition of insanity? You might be doing the same things over and over again, but still aren't working for you. Maybe it’s time to rebuild your consultant growth mindset. If you want a bigger result, you have to play bigger! That's why I'm sharing this with you because you've got it. You can be as successful as you want to be; whether that's making your first six figures, having a $500,000 a year, $1 million a year, and going beyond that. Whatever it is. It doesn't even have to be monetary. If you want to see greater success, you can achieve it; but you must be willing to take the actions required to get there.

Promoting Yourself As A Consultant The Right Way: Podcast #49
Whether you’re an executive, a VP, a director, or whatever your level is within an organization, in most cases, it's not about you. Everything that you do is about the company. Even though much of the success the company is seeing is directly connected to you, you somehow feel uncomfortable talking about your accomplishments and contribution. When you leave the corporate world and decide to become a consultant, if you carry the same mindset that you had as an employee, that is going to hurt your business. This is why it's so important that you promote yourself, but you must do it the right way. As a real consultant, you're building your business based on relationships that you create with people based on meaningful conversations.

High Converting Sales In Consulting With Joel Erway: Podcast #46
Lead generation webinars are a powerful tool for generating high-ticket sales appointments. In recent years, building high-converting sales webinars and sales presentations have become a top priority for coaches, consultants, and solo entrepreneurs looking to sell their courses through specialists. One such company is The Webinar Agency, run by Joel Erway. He’s been in the game for nearly four years, graduating from Rochester Institute of Technology with a degree in mechanical engineering technology in 2009 and lasting about eight months before he decided to make a pivot. Every time Joel’s manufacturer would give a presentation, Joel would look out in the audience and see people just falling asleep. Literally , they'd be falling asleep. You can't buy anything if you're not paying attention, if you can't stay awake. But get this: the first time he gave a presentation, Joel set off a spiral of new business which they had booked over the course of the next year, year and a half, which generated between $1 million and $3 million in revenue. Absolute madness! If that doesn’t convince you of Joel’s legitimacy, I don’t know what will. Aside from running The Webinar Agency, Joel also hosts the Sold with Webinars podcast, and a new podcast called Experts Unleashed, which focuses on coaches and consultants who sell their information for expertise. He interviews all sorts of different experts with the goal of teaching listeners how to spot, create, and seize opportunities to grow your solo expert-based business. Love the show?

Bob teaches the opposite of selling, consulting in a way that allows people to engage buyers to buy as opposed to selling them or convincing them as it's traditionally known. Love the show?

Grow Revenue In Subscription-Based Consulting With Jeb Blount, CEO Sales Gravy: Podcast #44
Sending hourly invoices to your client can get awkward really fast. Same thing for project-based consultants. But what if you can secure a contract that says, “The contract value is this much, but you pay me over the period of time”? And what if as a consultant, you can deploy the assets as you go? Well now you can do so by making the switch to subscription-based consulting. Jeb Blount, CEO of Sales Gravy, says that subscription is just a monthly revenue. He has had an incredible experience with this type of service model, and so has his clients. Nobody resented anyone because both sides knew exactly what they were getting – and everybody was winning. Jeb Blount is the founder and CEO of Sales Gravy, a training development and self-acceleration advisory company that operates globally. He is the author of nine books, including an upcoming one called Objections: The Ultimate Guide for Mastering The Art and Science of Getting Past No. Their practice focuses primarily on customer-facing activities, whether in training or optimizing a company’s sales organization. Sales Gravy focuses on how human beings grapple with other human beings for influence. Love the show? Subscribe, rate, review, and share!

Consulting Through Resistance with Kelly Roach: Podcast #38
As a consultant, your goal is to make connections and help clients realize that they can trust you to make the changes their company needs to make. This often means that you will be consulting through resistance. Kelly Roach came into the business of consulting by always hearing people around her saying “Who does this kid think she is, coming in here and telling us what we need to do?” Instead of forcing them into her team, she worked hard to earn their respect and trust. Her mindset of recognizing that she is not entitled to the trust of the company off the bat helped her build connections and showed the company that they can win when they link arms with her.

Richard has always shared his values of contributing and giving back to the community.

4 Steps To Specializing Your Sales and Marketing Techniques with Perry Marshall
Today I’m very excited to be joined by Perry Marshall. Perry is the author of several fantastic sales and marketing books and splits his time between higher-end client work and equity in companies as well as his science and technology project Evolution 2.0. Today we’re diving deep into the ways you can find your ideal clients, how to successfully manage your sales, marketing strategies, and business growth, and what to do next when you finally reach the level of consulting success that you’ve been working towards. Perry shares some really great insights into the ways you can reach those goals even sooner than you hoped and I know you’ll be inspired by his success. It’s all on this episode of The Consulting Success Podcast with Perry Marshall. 30 Ways to Find Your Next New Client Most people know Perry as the author of sales and marketing books, but that is just the tip of his professional iceberg. Like Perry, successful consultants tend to have a wide variety of services they can offer the world. Consultants are thought leaders and thought leaders are naturally prolific with their ideas. Each one of those ideas just may be the one that will land your next new client. You can’t be afraid to act on any one of them. There is safety in casting your net wide, and Perry shares multiple ideas on how you can do just that. From writing books to hosting workshops and securing speaking engagements on podcasts and in seminars, every effort to gain greater exposure in the marketplace will bring greater security to your work. By utilizing different formats and materials, you are reaching all kinds of customers and adding diversity to your portfolio. But before you extend yourself too far, you’ll want to listen to the cautionary tale that Perry shares about securing this kind of diversity. It took several steps to gain legitimacy for his work, at which point he traded revenue for longevity. You’ll hear him explain why the trade-off was completely worth it and you just may be inspired to find ways that you can step out of your niche to become a more recognized expert in your field. Just like Perry, there will be times when you need to adjust your approach to your consulting business along the way. If none of your marketing strategies will provide you any return for another five years, you need to find a way to speed things up. On the other hand, if you’ve found an instantly successful strategy, examine it to see if there is a way you can make it a long-term sustainable facet of your business strategy. In both scenarios, the efforts you put in have the potential of producing great results. The Evolution of Sales and Marketing If you can dedicate two years to your business, you can achieve consulting success. In the early stages of your consulting business, i

Attracting High-Value Clients In One Vital Step
Today I’m sharing another chapter from my newest book The Elite Consulting Mind: 16 Proven Mindsets to Attract More Clients, Increase Your Income and Achieve Meaningful Success. This book is full of principles — all proven by elite consultants — that you can use to overcome challenges, remove obstacles, and grow your business significantly. I want to share with you one of the 16 mindsets from the book that is a vital step in achieving next-level consulting success and the opportunity to work with high value clients. Whether you’re just getting into the consulting business or you are a seasoned consulting veteran but aren’t experiencing the level of success and results you desire, this book offers you the advantage you need. Join me as we explore one of the 16 mindsets that elite consultants employ on this special episode of The Consulting Success Podcast . Outreach, Imperfected “What is the most important step you could take right now to get more business?” I posed this question to Bella, a successful consultant who has worked for many high-powered businesses and has clearly enjoyed a successful consulting career. But on this day, she didn’t seem to be enjoying herself at all. She didn’t have an immediate answer to my question, so I tried a different approach. “How do you win new business?” This time she answered quickly, and we dove into a conversation about the essential first step of meeting with potential clients. The problem that led her to me soon became apparent as she listed off to me the number of reasons why she didn’t feel prepared to put herself in front of new clients at this time. Her message wasn’t polished, her website wasn’t updated. … In short, she was paralyzed by imperfection. I’m sure that you, like most consultants, recognize that getting in front of new clients and creating conversations is the key to growing your business. Despite knowing this, too many consultants find reasons to avoid it. There always seems to be some excuse, a reason to delay, or something else to work on first. We avoid putting ourselves out there because we crave certainty. In hopes of making conditions as perfect as possible, too many consultants work on other things, and keep making excuses. The need to constantly attend to the website, the blog, or the research are just distractions that are keeping you from actually taking the action needed to gain real certainty. Messaging and marketing are two of the biggest hang-ups for far too many consultants. As you prepare your value proposition, many other questions may arise, which can too quickly lead to paralyzing doubts. These doubts lead to a constant tweaking of these details are simply keeping you from taking that critical first step of putting your message into action. Are Y

Securing $20,000 Speaking Engagements with Chester Elton
I’m very pleased to be joined today by Chester Elton, a recognized expert in business and leadership. Chester has worked together with his partner, Adrian Gostick, for over 20 years to create networks where people feel engaged, enabled, and energized. They are the authors of several leadership books, including the newly released The Best Team Wins: The New Science of High Performance . Known as “The Carrot Guys,” Chester and Adrian believe that as you motivate and recognize passionate people in the right positions and create a culture they connect with, business success will naturally follow. In our conversation, we dive into the importance of writing the best books, ways to successfully grow your consulting business, and how to increase your expertise so that you can increase your consulting fees, all on this episode of The Consulting Success Podcast with Chester Elton. Writing The Best Books Before becoming a world-renowned author and cultivator of successful business culture, Chester worked for his college newspaper at Brigham Young University in Utah. After graduation he worked in advertising in New York City, selling both ad space and ‘air space.’ Soon he started down the path of selling recognition programs, where he worked for 19 years to help businesses understand the importance of valuing and recognizing their employees. His first book was the genesis of his relationship with Adrian Gostick, as well as his positioning as a thought leader of recognition in the business world. 11 books, 1.5 million copies and 30 languages later, Chester and Adrian have clearly set themselves apart in exactly the ways they set out to. Any consultant who has ever considered writing a book recognizes the mountain before them. It can seem entirely overwhelming to even know where to start. For Chester, there was little trepidation when faced with the daunting task of writing his first book, and he gives that credit to the support system that he surrounded himself with. Just as you’ve heard me say many times before, his network was the key to his success. His network became the critical link to his success. Between his partnership with Adrian, their editor, publisher, and the many mentors who supported them along the way, the partners were able to confidently conquer their first book, as well as the many other books that have followed. If you can surround yourself by people that will encourage you along the way, you will be able to conquer the mountain of expert writing as well, and you will enjoy the benefits that follow soon after. The quality writing that you produce, whether it be as monumental as your first book or as simple as a white paper or blog post, will be beneficial the success of your consulting business. Writing helps to solidify your why — not just what you do and how you do it, but why you are doing it and why other people should listen to

Seven Questions To Ask Yourself About Your Commitment To Success with Jon DeWaal
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Jon DeWaal, a life transition specialist who helps people work through the personal side effects of making major life transitions. He describes his work as counseling, coaching, career counseling, and spiritual direction, all rolled into one. Jon has joined me today to discuss the questions you can ask yourself about your level of discipline, commitment, and ability to affect meaningful change in your growing consulting business. We examine the need to make changes in your business before you hit the bottom, the importance of discipline and conversations, and the difference between consultants who wish they could get things done and the ones who are willing to put in the work to make things happen, all on this episode of The Consulting Success Podcast with Jon DeWaal. Writing The Best Story For Your Life It took falling off a roof to make Jon realize that he wasn’t living the life he wanted. Fresh out of college, Jon had spent four years building up a business as an independent contractor when his life suddenly — and unexpectedly — started down a new path. After the fall, Jon found himself lying in a hospital bed examining his life situation. He reluctantly and painfully admitting that he no longer wanted to do the same work he had been doing, and a new chapter began. He started exploring different options with a close friend and mentor, and after realizing that he was part of a story that he no longer wanted to be in, Jon knew that change was on the horizon. Once he started contemplating the stories that he did want to see in his future, Jon realized that what he wanted more than anything was to make a meaningful impact on the world. More so than his potential house or salary size, Jon wondered what it would look like to leave a mark on a person. To use his gifts and strengths on their behalf, and to become a force that provoked with really good questions, a strong sense of presence, and a source of invitation — to help others see a different story for their personal and professional future. There is a good chance that you became a consultant because you have found yourself at a similar crossroads in your career. Taking the leap into consultancy might have meant a major shift in your life story, as well. If so, you’ll want to listen on to hear more about the success that Jon found once he began pursuing his new life dream. Main Challenges of Business Owners Every business owner is faced with a barrage of challenges, questions, and problems. The first challenge that Jon admits to dealing with, even with his own work, is the feeling of never spending enough time working on your business. Instead, business owners often find themselves down in the trenches doing work for the business. Too often, business owners haven’t built boundaries for the

Succeeding As A Non-Profit Consultant with Elizabeth Woolfe
In today’s episode, I’m joined by Elizabeth Woolfe, a passionate consultant with a focus on nonprofit organizations in the healthcare industry. There is a common misconception in the consulting world that working with nonprofit organizations means that there are no profits to be had for consultants. Many consultants avoid working with nonprofits for this very reason, and you may be one of them. Elizabeth has joined me today to explain how you can create a thriving, successful consulting business in the nonprofit market. We discuss the importance of using your network, trusting yourself, and overcoming business anxiety. She shares examples of how to effectively ask for referrals and how to grow your business to the point that you can choose the clients you are working for. It’s all in this episode of the The Consulting Success Podcast with Elizabeth Woolfe. Does Non-Profit Equal No Profit For Consultants? We start out with Elizabeth sharing the story of how she got connected with nonprofit organizations. She has actually dedicated her career to working with nonprofit organizations once she recognized how greatly nonprofits would benefit from working with a consultant but are often the organizations that are the least able to afford to hire one. Elizabeth has always been interested in the healthcare industry. While her fear of chemistry did keep her from becoming a doctor, she stayed focused in the healthcare field and has had no regrets about her career path. After earning her Master’s in Public Health from UCLA, she began working with health education in New York. Once she was connected with those involved in the breast cancer movement, her work as a consultant began. She saw a need for more support in the movement and started linking organizations with companies that wanted to help with breast cancer awareness. Elizabeth, like so many other successful consultants, identified a gap in her industry and developed a way to fill it. There is a common misconception in the consulting world that working with non-profit organizations means that there are no profits to be had for consultants, and you may feel the same way. Perhaps you have seen an opportunity to fill a need in your industry but are hesitant because it doesn’t seem possible to get the value you are seeking. Too many consultants avoid working for this very reason, but I think my conversation with Elizabeth will change your mind. She shares four essential ideas on how you, too, can create a thriving, successful consulting business, either in the nonprofit or for-profit market, in this episode of The Consulting Success Podcast. Working Your Network The first essential step to finding success in any industry is to build a network that is filled with people that you can rely on. When Elizabeth decided to start her consulting busin

3 Steps To Building A Stand Out Portfolio With Emma Sharley
On this episode, I’m talking with Emma Sharley, an experienced and very successful brand and marketing consultant in Australia. She works with retail, technology, and lifestyle client companies on setting up market and brand strategies, brand positioning, transitioning markets, and marketing new products lines. She also has a complementary start-up in the retail technology sector called ShopYou, which she co-founded in 2016. Emma has worked with both large corporations and smaller operations, and she’s joined me today to talk about the keys to success that have taken her consulting business to the next level. She shares three major tips for building out your portfolio, finding the all-important work-life balance and — you’ll have to hear it to believe it — why 4 a.m. is the magic hour for her most effective work. It just may inspire you to start waking up early as well, and it’s all in this episode of the The Consulting Success Podcast with Emma Sharley. Transitioning from Employee to Consultant Prior to beginning her successful consultancy, Emma worked in sports marketing, fashion retail marketing, and telecommunications with companies in England including Westfield, Diane Von Furstenberg, Westpac, and T-Mobile. After returning to Australia, she worked mainly with marketing with fashion retailers, where she identified a need from retailers for accessible consulting and marketing advice. Following her entrepreneurial drive, Emma started her own consulting business and now works independently with retail, technology and lifestyle companies. The transition from employee to consultant for Westfield was made easier in part by the relationships that Emma had made in her first seven years with the company. I always recommend to consultants that are just starting out to try and secure work with previous employers whenever possible, and Emma is proof of the validity of this advice. You have already proven yourself to them and you are probably already aware of the needs within the company. By positioning yourself in such a way that you can continue to serve the needs of the company without working as an employee, you have easily created your first consulting project. Emma’s first project as a consultant with her employer entailed launching a new product into market, which she worked on for five months. During that time she focused only on that one project. By scaling back on her overall involvement with the company, she was able to increase her value to the organization as a consultant. Emma describes a valuable consultant as someone who brings a single focus to the outcomes that you are delivering. By allowing yourself to focus on one project, there is less noise and fewer distractions to keep you from completing high-quality work. The success she achieved on this first project then gave her the confidence she needed to approach other companies, and E

The Mindset That Wins Work With Fortune 500 Companies with Mindy Millward
Today’s guest is Mindy Millward, a veteran consultant with over 20 years of experience from Navalent. You may remember my guest Ron Carucci, from episode 21, who recommended Mindy as an outstanding and insightful consultant, and he was right. I’m delighted to have her join me today. In this episode, we are discussing the importance of maintaining a long-term strategy and vision for your marketing and networking. We talk about how to find clients that are really ready to make lasting change, how to most effectively market your services, and whether it’s worth your time to compete with larger consultancy firms, particularly for the business of Fortune 500 companies. Mindy shares insights into how to correctly size your firm, the importance of getting connected with the decision makers of the company and how to spot the red flags that prove it’s time to walk away from a project. I think you’ll learn just as much from her insights and experiences as I did in this episode of The Consulting Success Podcast with Mindy Millward. Marketing To The Ideal Client As you are shaping and building up your consulting business, a majority of your time has to be spent on marketing. It is a widely accepted best practice idea to stay narrowly focused on both the company size and industry of your ideal client. This focus tends to narrow in the playing field and help you more easily locate companies that will benefit from your expertise. At Navalent, however, the consultants aren’t worried about the size of client they take on or the industry they are in. From Fortune 500 companies down to small start-ups, their main focus has always been simply to connect with the leaders of the company that are willing to make actual change within their organization. The common denominator of every ideal client at Navalent is the presence of a decision maker. Many companies tend to not have decision makers readily available. Even though they desperately need the services consultants can offer them, they don’t have the liberty to institute the changes recommended to them. This can create a host of problems for consultants like you that are trying to make change happen. So rather than focusing on a particular size or industry of business, Mindy and her colleagues at Navalent maintain their focus on the complexities of problems within any company and their subsequent willingness and ability to solve those problems. The question you may be asking yourself then is how can you effectively market to your ideal client? If the size of business or particular industry doesn’t have to matter as much as you once thought it did, marketing can become a complicated hurdle to overcome. Mindy shares several insights into effective marketing, starting with correcting your focus. From pharmaceutical companies to financial firms, government agencies to educational in

How to Generate More Revenue Without Working More Hours with Tony Signorelli
I’m joined today by the CEO of Signorelli Consulting Group, Tony Signorelli. His consulting group focuses mainly on sales enablement and marketing, and they have been in the business since 1995. In this episode, we talk about the path that led Tony to sales and consulting, and he shares insights into creating a successful consulting firm within the corporate world. We examine the importance of taking action when securing new clients, and he shares the mistakes he’s made — that you can learn from — and the incredible importance of using your network to your advantage. Tony shares several of his secrets of success, including the ways that you can generate more revenue without adding more work hours to your day. You won’t want to miss the stories he tells in this episode of The Consulting Success Podcast . A Creative and Curious Consultant Tony has never worked as an employee for anyone else — from freelance writer and bookstore owner to organic farmer and poetry editor, his background was not exactly a linear approach to consulting. His work as a technical writer for a medical company quickly evolved into his involvement with every major product launch for the company, and it was at that point that Tony started to understand the importance of positioning himself as someone that could help companies solve their problems. Rather than approaching consulting with an extensive background of experience, he started his business with a “learn as we go” approach, and that approach has led his company to the successful place that they are in now. For Tony, the driving factor behind his work was two-fold — curiosity and creativity. Once he figured a business out, he inevitably grew bored of it and wanted to move on to the next unknown. As he realized that the questions he was facing with sales and marketing consulting were growing, rather than being solved, he knew he had found a place that he wanted to fully dive into. Even today, the problems presented by companies continue to keep Tony’s attention. He shares one specific event — the turning point at which he realized that he was solving a company’s problems without getting paid for it. Once he made that realization, the decision to fully commit to growing his sales and marketing consultancy was an easy one. As the business has developed, there have been various points when he and his team have been presented with new challenges, and from there the work continues to grow. Traversing The Value Pyramid Along his path to success, Tony realized that he needed to climb higher on the value pyramid in order to create greater value for his clients. The value hierarchy he refers to is a simple tool which demonstrates how you can charge your clients more money by systematically adding value in your business environment. The levels increase from providing your clients information

Doubling A $400,000 Revenue Model with Business Trainer Blair Enns
Self-described “recovering consultant” Blair Enns is the CEO of Win Without Pitching, a sales training organization for creative professionals in the design, advertising, and public relations fields. When he wasn’t satisfied with his $400,000 business, he decided to expand it into an organization that now makes exponentially more money that he once thought possible. In this episode, we are talking about ways that you can effectively position yourself as an expert in your field, how to get your expertise recognized, and the danger of productizing your work, as well as what you should be doing instead. Blair has achieved a level of success that many consultants only dream of, and he’s here to share practical ideas on how you, too, can take your consulting business to the next level. Join us to hear solid advice for increasing your revenue from Blair Enns in this episode of The Consulting Success Podcast . Finding Consulting Success in the Wilderness After finding himself expelled from university, Blair’s lucky break came when he stumbled upon advertising. His boss recognized he had a knack for new business, and just six months into the work, at age 22, Blair was put in charge of business development. He began working with some of the largest ad agencies and some of the smallest design firms in the world. Well-experienced and thick in the work of account management and business development, Blair realized that he wanted something entirely different from the advertising world. In order to realize his dream of raising his family in the backwoods of British Columbia, something had to change. At that point Win Without Pitching was born, and Blair’s success has been realized in a wilderness town of just 900 people. He tells the story of how he decided to relocate to such a remote location, and how he was able to successfully turn his consulting dream into his new reality. Many people believe that success can’t be achieved in a remote location without direct access to clients, but Blair’s success proves them wrong. When he started out, Blair didn’t have access to any clients within hundreds of miles of his remote location. This unique situation forced him to expand his reach. Once he narrowed in on the markets that he was going to serve and strategically positioned himself in their path, the physical distance between them became less of an issue. For Blair, these moves have actually contributed to greater success than he would have experienced otherwise. With the groundwork for his career path laid, we dive into the details of Blair’s success, starting with his collaboration with fellow consultant David Baker. Should You Share Your Knowledge With Your Competition? It may seem counterintuitive, but sharing your knowledge with other consultants can actually be one of the smartest career moves you can make.

Positioning Yourself As The Expert — How To Develop A Consulting Voice That Clients Will Listen To with Ron Carucci
Today I’m joined by seasoned consultant and passionate leader Ron Carucci. Ron and his partners at Navalent help companies that are in pursuit of a substantial transformational change, whether it be strategic formulation, organizational design, cultural shifts, or executive leadership behaviors. His work has taken him to over 20 countries in four different continents, and he is the author of several consulting and leadership books as well as a regular contributor to Forbes.com and the Harvard Business Review. In this episode, we talk about how Ron shifted from working in an organization to working for the best ones, the ideal size of a successful consulting firm, and the effective ways to implement changes in your work so that you are attracting only the most ideal clients. Ron has over 25 years of experience, and he has worked hard to position himself as a truly successful consultant. You won’t want to miss the insights and experiences that he shares in this episode of The Consulting Success Podcast . In Pursuit of His Passion For Organizations Originally a student of the arts, Ron was performing in Europe when he found himself at a crossroads in which he had a life-changing realization about the importance of helping other people tell their stories. At that point, Ron began following his passion for examining the science behind leaders and organizations work together. Today, as a consultant, Ron gets to enter into the stories of successful businesses to help leaders write the next chapter of their adventures. But today, we’re focusing on Ron’s story. He has learned plenty of lessons over the years, and the stories he shares on in our conversation are valuable for any consultant that wants to make positive changes to their work. Inside the world of organizational development, Ron quickly learned that being an agent of change is a real challenge. As companies grow larger and larger, the work is no longer about effecting change. It becomes more about revenues and profits, leading and managing all aspects of the growing business. When Ron and some of his close colleagues realized this was the work they were faced with, they decided to start their own business in order to preserve their dream. Navelen was born and 13 years later Ron declares that he is still living his dream. He tells about the lessons he learned from his first practice. Although exiting a larger corporation was liberating, and the work he was doing paid the bills, Ron had to be honest with himself. He knew that he didn’t have 30 more years of expertise that he could make money on. Those kinds of brutally honest moments are the pivotal ones — and they are essential for any consultant who wants to stay on the path toward success.

Join me as we explore one of the 16 mindsets that elite consultants employ on this special episode of The Consulting Success Podcast . Chasing A Wild Dream When I first started my consulting business with my partner and cousin Sam, we had the wild and seemingly unattainable dream of making $5,000 a month and enjoying the freedom of working anywhere in the world. In the first few months it seemed like we would never get there. We suffered major setbacks and overcame many challenges, but finally we reached our goal. And then, with hard work, we doubled our dream to $6,000 a month. And then we doubled it again. We were working hard and enjoying success, and then a strange thing happened. Our business growth completely stopped. Maybe you’ve found yourself in the same place — stuck in the current state of your consulting business and wondering how to achieve the next level of success. That is what this chapter of The Elite Consulting Mind is all about. We’re digging deep into one of the 16 mindsets that have helped me and hundreds of other successful consultants keep the business moving and the success coming. The Key To Achieving a Higher Level of Success When business growth stagnates, a transformation is necessary. Our transformation happened when we signed up for a coaching program. Instead of remaining stuck with no idea what to do next, we suddenly found ourselves surrounded by successful business men and women who could help us understand the ‘how’ to achieving the next level of success. Once Sam and I changed our bus

Less Marketing, More Consulting — How To Win Projects Within Your Network with Stuart Friedman
Today I’m excited to be joined by Stuart Friedman from Global Context. This Silicon Valley-based previous electrical engineer with a passion for theater studied at Carnegie Mellon, then started his career in product marketing and sales before becoming a VP General Manager. He had climbed his way to the top of the corporate ladder when a piece of luggage knocked a profound truth into him — literally. After months of stuttering and having speech and cognitive therapy, Stuart realized that the ability to communicate and the ability to process information and his talent for both was not to be taken for granted. Global Context was born, and 12 years later he has been working in all aspects of cultural communications — from the challenges within one organization to the cultural differences that are always apparent, and often the killer, of any acquisition or merger. On this episode, Stuart shares the number one consulting success truth — your network is your biggest marketing tool. We explore how you can make your network work for you so that you don’t have to spend your time chasing after your next client. By using Stuart’s advice, your next client will come to you. He shares lessons he has learned, mistakes he commonly sees consultants make, and some of the ways that he has scaled his business for growth without hiring unnecessarily. If you’ve been looking for ways to spend less time marketing and more time consulting, you won’t want to miss this episode of The Consulting Success Podcast with Stuart Friedman. Building A Business on Cross-Cultural Communications A background of engineering, marketing sales, and theater may not seem like one that would logically add up to forming a cross-cultural communications consultancy, but that was the perfect recipe for Stuart. It all came together during a conversation with a previous competitor. Stuart was approached to do some consulting work, and the former competitor specifically wanted to know how Stuart had managed to take away all of their business in Asia. It was obvious that Stuart knew something that his competitor didn’t, and at that point, he realized that the work he had been doing in studying different cultures and business practices could benefit more than just him. This former competitor became his first client, and the rest is history. Stuart has consulted many high-profile companies, but he prefers to maintain a mix of large and small clients in his business. Bigger clients mean more time and higher client acquisition costs, and as someone who has worked with big-name companies including Apple, Sony, Oracle, Microsoft, and Nissan, Stuart has discovered something else. He has found that the bigger the company and the more accomplished people he works with, there also tends to be a greater amount of blind spots that can limit the executive's willingness to learn a

Liz Kislik on The Lucky Breaks That Bring Greater Consulting Success
If your consulting business has more than one employee, chances are you have run into conflict with your partners or coworkers. On this episode of the Consulting Success Podcast, I’m joined by Liz Kislik, the owner of Liz Kislik Associates, with nearly 30 years of nationally acclaimed consulting management experience. Liz is an expert on conflict management, handling everything from operating issues to communication problems and inter-departmental conflicts. Liz started out as a college student looking for a summer job. She landed her first job as a salesperson for TV Guide, where she learned the entire business and eventually was promoted to executive vice president before leaving the company. Within a week of quitting, Liz was being contacted by companies looking for a consultant, and she has been working hard at her successful consulting business ever since. On this episode, we dive into the difference between luck and hard work. Every consultant hopes to get lucky, but there are many ways that you can actually affect your luck. Liz shares several tactics that have resulted in her luck improving, and it is all because of the hard work she has been willing to put into her business. From expanding her referral pool to fine-tuning her branding, she shares solid tips for the hard work that will increase your luck, and your consulting success. You won’t want to miss out on her wisdom and expertise on this episode of The Consulting Success Podcast with Liz Kislik. Luck or Hard Work — Which One Equals Success? Too many consultants are looking for luck — whether it be some new technology or a big breakthrough that will catapult their business into an unbelievable success. Liz starts out by explaining that that kind of luck, while possible, is unlikely to be sustainable for an extended period of time. She calls it “lottery luck,” and warns that it can lead to trouble. Finding yourself lucky in your business without the preparation that needs to take place to sustain long-term success is not really lucky at all. Real success comes with 20 years of preparation. There is no quick and easy substitute for real preparation and hard work, and Liz explains why. It is essential that you know what you are talking about in your consulting business. There is no substitute for really knowing the ins and outs of the work you are hired to do. Lucky breaks will never make that happen. Understanding the work and doing what it takes to make it successful, not only gives you increased knowledge, it also gives you more credibility in your field. Hard work will give you the edge you need when potential clients are considering hiring you to get their jobs done, and that’s when you will see your luck start to grow. The Relationships that Lead to Success W

The Secret to Landing Six-Figure Consulting Projects with Dauwn Parker
On this episode of the Consulting Success Podcast, I’m joined by Dauwn Parker. She founded Precision Partners in 2013 with a focus on helping healthcare and higher education organizations take their fundraising to the next level by streamlining, optimizing, and using the right technology for their operations. Prior to her work at Precision Partners, Dauwn worked for various consulting firms in customer relationship management software. From her work with the financial industry and high tech companies, Dauwn saw that non-profit companies were missing out on some of the benefits of building relationships and using information to strengthen relationships with constituents. At the turn of the century, she made the transition from the private sector to UCLA, where she began to implement the structure and methods into the university space. After her successful time at UCLA, she made an impact with City of Hope, a cancer research center. From there, she realized that she had tools for success that many companies and organizations could benefit from, and Precision Partners was born. On this episode, we talk about ways to find an underserved market, the benefits of a healthy work-life balance, and the question everyone wants answered — how to land a six-figure deal with your dream client. You’ll hear the answers to it all in my conversation with Dauwn Parker. Identify an Underserved Market in Need An underserved market is undoubtedly the best market to direct your expertise toward. Dauwn recognized that there was an underserved market in the healthcare and higher education sector, and she wasn’t afraid to take on the challenge of fulfilling that need in a way that others hadn’t done before. She shares how she first recognized the gap and then capitalized on the true catalyst, which was the pull from the industry to share her expertise. Dauwn had already put herself out into the industry and in early 2013 she was contacted by what would become her first client. Having recognized the work she had already done with UCLA and City of Hope, they were requesting her help to best utilize a hard-earned budget. That phone call confirmed what she already suspected — that there was a gap in the industry and that an ideal client would benefit from the skills she had to offer. Taking the Leap into the Consulting World I’ve heard it too many times to count — taking the leap into the unknown of the consulting world is a very scary idea. It can be paralyzing to even think about leaving the security of your position with a successful corporate business to venture out and start your own consulting firm. Dauwn describes herself as a conservative person by nature. She’s willing to take risks, but the risks are always calculated ones. The decision to venture out away from the corporate world to start

Sales Systems That Equate to Success with Bob Burg
Bob Burg is a sought-after speaker at company leadership and sales conferences around the world. He has shared the platform with everyone from seasoned business leaders and broadcast personalities to a former U.S. president. He is the author of numerous books, and the best-seller that he is best known for is The Go-Giver: A Little Story About a Powerful Business Idea , which he co-authored with John David Mann. Their book has sold over half a million copies, has recently been re-released and translated into 21 languages. On this session of the Consulting Success Podcast , we dive into the story of this unsuccessful journalist who transformed into a powerful author and speaker. We examine powerful sales systems and how to make them will work for you, why you have to embrace the ‘nos,’ and the advantage that having people skills will give you over the competition. Whether you’re an introvert who resists sales and marketing or an extrovert who needs to learn how to be a better listener, you won’t want to miss the time-tested tips and systems from the author who speaks, Bob Burg. From Failing Journalist to Successful Speaker Before becoming a world-renowned author and speaker, Bob Burg worked in broadcasting. He started out as a sports broadcaster for a local radio station, then landed a spot as a TV news broadcaster. He enjoyed the job but wasn’t very good at it simply because he wasn’t interested in journalism. Without a passion for journalism, he knew he needed to make a career change and graduated into sales. The challenge he then faced was a lack of knowledge about sales. Despite his willingness to put himself out there and make connections with people, he wasn’t finding much success. On a serendipitous day 35 years ago, he wandered into a bookstore and found himself in the sales teaching department, surrounded by the works of Tom Hopkins and Zig Ziglar. After just a few weeks of studying and implementing their ideas, Bob’s sales went through the roof. After years of failure, it seemed improbable that Bob could find success in such a short time. But by simply applying the information he learned from these sales masters, Bob had discovered a successful system that worked. By implementing this new system, he was prepared for success. He shares the simple and essential role that systems can have on the success of any work you do. He defines a system as the process of predictably achieving a goal based on a logical and specific set-up. Predictability is the key — it’s been proven that by doing “A” you will get the desired results of “B.” As long as you are willing to continue to do “A,” you will continue to see the results you want in “B.” After discovering this methodology, Bob immersed himself in the study of sales and personal development and the applied that

Answering the Call to Consulting with John Murphy
John Murphy is the man behind John Murphy International, a France-based business that is focused on helping global companies create winning teams. Originally from Dublin, Ireland, John started his business in Ireland 13 years ago and moved to the south of France after realizing that one of the great perks of consulting was that he could base his business anywhere. Prior to starting his business, John was climbing the ladder in the corporate world. He began as a door-to-door salesman, and progressed to sales manager, sales director, and eventually marketing director before becoming a CEO for a finance company. During this time he recognized that, while the corporate world had been very good to him, the view from the top wasn’t exactly what he thought it was going to be. Although the leap from the corporate world to independent consulting seems like a daunting one, John says it was made easier because he felt compelled to take the leap. We talk about making the leap, the best place to find clients, and the greatest key to business development growth on the episode of the Consulting Success Podcast with John Murphy. Taking the Leap The corporate world is a secure place to enjoy a career, but for CEOs like John, taking the leap away from the corporate world and into the unknown may be a move that you simply have to make. After working your way to the top, you, like John, may find that there is more you can accomplish with your skills and talents. Two years before he started his own company, John felt that he needed to step away from his secure place in the corporate world and try something new. Even if there is nothing fundamentally wrong with your current company or organization, many consultants feel at some point that they simply don’t want to remain someone else’s employee indefinitely. John felt that desire to ‘create something for himself.’ He wanted something beyond what the corporate world has to offer, and after a period of time, John Murphy International was born. If you’ve ever felt compelled to leave your successful corporate job and create something new, you’ll want to hear John’s story. Although it seems counterintuitive, he was even willing to leave his job even before his new company was in place and in our conversation he shares why. Finding Clients in Surprising Places Once John Murphy International was established, John needed to find clients. It was at this point when he received a very relevant piece of advice from a friend, who said, “You won’t get business in the places you think you will, and you will get business in very surprising places.” He found out that that was exactly true, and after placing a huge number of sales calls, he secured some of his first work with Johnson & Johnson. His approach was not exactly a scientific one — by simply placing as many calls as

Taking Greater Risks to Enjoy Greater Rewards with David Baker
David Baker is a consultant who has been working with marketing firms and advertising agencies since the late 1980s. He is an author, a speaker, and an adviser who helps companies make high-quality business decisions. David focuses on finances, benchmarking, performance, and positioning of firms, as well as PR, advertising, and more. Having spent the majority of his childhood living in a Mayan Indian tribe, David didn’t attend formal school until he was nearly 18 years old. It was during graduate school where he was studying theology and language that he (somewhat naively) decided that he could produce better ads than the ones he was seeing in newspapers. He began consulting peers on the side and realized that he wanted to pursue consulting as a full-time career. Once he discovered that he had the skills he needed for success, his career took off and hasn’t stopped since. In our conversation, David shares the mistakes he made in the early days of his career, how he has achieved the perfect work-life balance, and the number one error that he wishes consultants would stop making. With over three decades of experience under his belt, he is definitely a consulting and business expert, and you won’t want to miss the insights he shares on this on this episode of the Consulting Success Podcast. Don’t Compromise Just to Keep Feeding the Machine For many of today’s successful consultants, taking the leap from a secure paycheck to an independent consulting business can be a very scary one. David knew all about that reality — and the potential unreliability of consulting gigs — when he first started out. He decided to take on a second full-time job to help buffer his potential risk while getting his consulting business up and running. By doing this he was guaranteed a way to still feed his family without having to deal with potential pressure from the economy to lower his consulting work. It only took him a few months, but the security that the second job offered him was priceless as he was starting out. By having an extra stream of income, David was able to only take on consulting clients that he really wanted to work with, and he didn’t have to compromise his pricing, either. You may find yourself in a similar situation where you are considering negotiating on your pricing so that you can secure more work, but David says, don’t! There are endless opportunities for growth within the consulting field, and that growth can be used to your advantage. When business slows, you may be tempted to lower your prices or take on work from a less-than-ideal client, but that will undoubtedly lead to a constant stream of compromises. In our conversation, David shares several tips to help you avoid making these kinds of detrimental compromises. First, you have to decide how big you want your firm to be. Don’t let the marketplace decide that for you

How Nicholas Kusmich Leaped from a $30,000 Salary to a $2 Million Salary Via Facebook
Nicholas started out as a pastor who was committed to not relying on his congregation for his salary. That commitment required a side hustle of some sort, which is when Nicholas turned to the internet marketing world. When he started using Facebook as a major advertising platform for his work, he quickly became one of the most recognized agencies/consulting businesses in the market. But that was just the beginning. You won’t want to miss the story of the million-dollar road that this side hustle has taken Nicholas down, on this episode of the Consulting Success Podcast. Don’t Be Just Another Generic Consultant — It’s Time to Specialize One of the greatest keys to consulting success that I constantly emphasize is the absolute importance of specializing. It isn’t enough to simply tell people that are you are a consultant for any industry — you have to find your niche and make it work for you. Nicholas learned early in his career that “everyone and their mother” was a generic digital marketing consultant. It just wasn’t enough for him to follow that same overly worn path — and it won’t be enough for you, either. You have to pinpoint what exactly you are going to specialize in and confidently move forward from there. This can seem like a daunting task, and you may assume that everyone has the same skills as you. But you can’t let those thoughts overwhelm you. With a bit of research and perhaps some luck, you may discover that you already have in your possession a specialized skill that is just waiting to be exposed. Discovering this skill set and exploiting it in your favor is what will set you apart as an expert in your industry. For Nicholas that opportunity came at a convention in 2014, where he discovered that he already had a skill that could lend itself well in the marketplace. He knew exactly how to make a profit from Facebook ads, while everyone around him was struggling to figure out what he already knew. By recognizing this, Nicholas carved out a niche for himself, which set him apart from his competition and dramatically increased the demand for his skills. By focusing solely on his niche, Nicholas elevated through the ranks and brought his company to where it is today. As you listen to the story he shares of how he found success, you’ll see how the same approach to specializing can work for you too. Discover Your Niche by Doing Two Simple Things At times it may seem that you are one of dozens of consultants offering the same skills to an oversaturated market. Nicholas has two tips to help pinpoint your area of specialization. First, recognize an underserved segment of your marketplace. If you are a consultant that is often “scratching an itch,” meaning that you’ve already figured out what needs are present, chances are you are

He was responsible for managing materials, labor, subcontractors, budgets, and more, but after 20 years in the construction business, he decided that it was time to make a change. Two of the greatest challenges that he initially faced as a new consultant were learning how to sell himself to clients, and how to price his work. Pricing is often one of the greatest hurdles that consultants have to overcome. Initially you may find yourself, like Adam, pricing out your time, rather than the value that your work is bringing to your clients. You’ll want to listen to Adam’s story as he explains how he figured out the best way to make the shift from time-based to value-based pricing. One of the

Gain Greater Success by Diversifying Your Career with Dorie Clark
Dorie Clark has transformed herself from a grad school reject to an expert in her field. She is a marketing strategy consultant, professional speaker, and frequent contributor to the Harvard Business Review. The New York Times described her as an “expert at self-reinvention and helping others make changes in their lives.” Dorie is the author of several popular business books — Entrepreneurial You , a guidebook about how you can make money doing what you love, Reinventing You , a book on professional reinvention, and Stand Out , how to become a recognized expert in your field. She is also a part-time professor at the Fuqua School of Business at Duke University. Dorie is passionate about helping entrepreneurs and talented professionals get their true talents noticed, appreciated, and recognized, in today’s noisy marketplace. Dorie currently splits her time between teaching, consulting, and writing. On this episode of Consulting Success Podcast , you’ll learn how that diversification has both preserved and enhanced her career, and ways that you can use her examples to find success as you are growing your consulting business. Diversify Your Career for Greater Success 11 years ago, Dorie Clark was focused on one job — helping companies with their marketing strategies and social media presence. Although that was a good job, over time she realized that by not being more diversified with her work, she was exposing herself to a lot of market risk. Situations may changes, budgets can be cut, and even if, as an entrepreneur, you are doing the same thing for all of your clients, it can become somewhat perilous. Dorie currently has seven different income streams — consulting, executive coaching, teaching, writing, professional speaking, online classes, and affiliate marketing. Having these multiple income streams can both leverage the work that you do, and also de-risk the work that you do. From Theologian to Entrepreneur Dorie has never worked in the corporate world, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t know her way around some of the country’s top businesses. As a philosophy major in college, she simply learned by doing. After earning a Master’s of Theology, and subsequently getting turned down by all of the doctoral programs she applied to, Dorie had no choice but to reinvented herself. That was when her first book, Reinventing Yourself, was born. Working as a political journalist led to working on political campaigns, which failed when her candidates lost their elections. From there, Dorie worked for a nonprofit in Boston for two years, where she learned how to run a business resourcefully. That opportunity gave her the training on the job that she needed to successfully go out and start her own business, where she is thriving today. As you listen to Dorie’s story, you’ll realize that even if the road t

Turning Today’s Proposal Failure into Tomorrow’s Consulting Success with JT Badiani
JT Badiani is the founder of Focused Improvement Consulting, and his business has been built on the failures that he turned into his success. He started out as a MBA/chemical engineer with years of experience in the design field and great success in operations, but decided that his talents and passions could truly be put to use when he pursued his dream of helping companies achieve success. He has been in the consulting business for over four years, and has learned a few things along the way. You won’t want to miss JT’s take on the power of failure on this episode of the Consulting Success Podcast. The Road to Consulting JT Badiani works to help companies improve their bottom line through the execution of their strategy, and implementing strategies with the help of Six Sigma. He knows how to critically evaluate a program to make it more efficient and streamlined. Over the years, JT has found ways to bring his clients up to a 15X return on their investment in him as their consultant. But his road to consulting success was not a short one. He experienced tremendous growth in six years working with his sector knowledge in aerospace, engineering, and more, and even worked as the VP of a company in Toronto. He was seeking a senior leadership role with leadership, but things didn’t work out. He spent nearly 12 months looking for a company to buy, but nothing was the right fit. During this time, JT discovered small and medium sized companies that were in need of operational or execution support. Although he’s not a consultant by trade, consulting was starting to feel like the right fit. The decision to transition into consulting is not always an easy one. JT quickly found out that taking the leap from working for an existing company to working for yourself can be a difficult decision to make. This can be a hard decision to make for several reasons. Many consultants come into the workplace and find that, while they’re great on the theoretical side, they lack skills for implementation. JT came into consulting with the mindset of helping companies execute their strategies better, but found that people often want to take away your great ideas and implement them themselves, which means that you never get to see the fruits of your labors. JT decided that he wanted to have a different approach to his consulting business, and now he works to be involved as much as he can from start to finish to help his clients be successful. Overcoming the challenges of starting up a business. Every consultant, and every entrepreneur, knows that starting up a business comes with a host of challenges. A few of these challenges can include learning all about the consulting side of sales, figuring out how to lead a service-based organization, and understanding how to sell to companies by

Elliot Begoun and The Power of Betting on Yourself
Elliot Begoun is the principal of The Intertwine Group, a consulting group which works to help food and beverage brands grow. Elliot spent over 25 years working in the food industry before his wife challenged him to pursue his dream of becoming a consultant. On this episode of Consulting Success Podcast, Elliot shares how he made the leap from the safety of a big company and experienced the incredible satisfaction that comes with working for yourself. He shares his ideas on retainer fees, how expert writing can keep you in demand, and the number one mistake he made that has taught him the importance of consulting mentors. Bet on yourself. You may feel a sense of security working for a big company, but working for someone else means you are betting on someone else. Taking the leap to become an independent consultant means betting on yourself.

First things first — find clarity. Instant gratification is just not something you can expect to achieve when growing your own business.

He has found a better way to capture greater value in his work, and it has produced a higher level of satisfaction both in him and from his clients. It may sound risky, but you’ll definitely want to hear the approach he takes when determining appropriate fees and how happy his clients have been with it. Make your network work for you.

Stefan Drew on The Magic of Specializing So You Can Turn Requests for Work Away
My guest on this episode is UK-based consultant Stefan Drew, who is also known as the Marketing Magician. He works mainly in the education sector, but he has a wide breadth of experience — from international environmental organizations and national membership organizations to web design for local companies. He is known for producing great ideas “out of thin air,” and his clients rave about the ROI that they receive after working with him. He has many years of experience and wisdom, and on this episode of Consulting Success you’ll hear several inspiring stories that will ignite your desire to take your business to the next level. If you’re trying to create greater visibility, wondering whether or not you should specialize your business, or hoping to discover the one secret to quick consulting success, you need to listen to this episode of Consulting Success with Stefan Drew. Specialize or offer it all — what do today’s successful consultants do? When first developing your consulting business, you may be wrestling with one major question — do I spread myself among several efforts, or simply focus on one target audience? I always encourage consultants to specialize, but I had to ask Stefan about his experience. His success came from one of these approaches, but his advice leans heavily toward the other. His answer may surprise you, but you won’t want to miss the reasoning behind it. Have a lot of expertise to offer? You should still specialize. Even if you can offer expertise in several areas, maintaining a focus in one specific area will still increase your business. Stefan shares his experience with shifting his focus from environment and education, “and everything else,” to simply the first two. The point of view that comes with your expertise can still be applied to your focus, and that increased specialization will create the greatest value for your clients. You can find out more about the benefits of specialization on this episode. Your email list may not be working as well as you think it is. Email lists are one of the most popular ways that many consultants try to reach a wide audience, but Stefan argues that they are not the most effective. He has an extensive list of ways that you can contact potential clients and generate business. You won’t want to miss the many success stories he shares, that prove that a little work can go a long way in securing the best clients. Building momentum creates the results you are seeking.

A Consultant’s Guide to Crisis Management with Jonathan Bernstein
On this episode of Consulting Success, I’m joined by Jonathan Bernstein of Bernstein Crisis Management. Jonathan is the author of “The Manager’s Guide to Crisis Management,” a great book that provides the basic skills and knowledge to deal with the crises that inevitably occur in any business, no matter the size. At first I wasn’t sure if crisis management really applied to consultants, but Jonathan quickly proved otherwise. He describes crisis management as the “art of avoiding trouble when you can, and reacting appropriately when you can’t.” This wisdom doesn’t only apply to big businesses — crisis mode can hit anyone at anytime. On this episode you’ll learn more about the benefits that come with preparing ahead of time for any crisis that may come — and how to handle it smartly. Consultants can benefit from a crisis management plan. Jonathan works with companies both to preventing crises from happening, and also to maintain business continuity and functionality when a crisis does hit. A single major crisis can knock a small business entirely out of the running, but a creative and effective crisis management plan can help consultants and small businesses minimize damage from a crisis. Jonathan refers to this as the “art of crisis management,” and in this conversation he proves that having a plan in place is essential to every business, regardless of size. Challenge yourself to connect with mentors that can help you achieve your goals. I have always been a major advocate of reaching out to the people that inspire you, and I really identified with the story that Jonathan shares about the bold moves that he made when changing his career path. From his first career in the intelligence department of the Army, he learned how to assess vulnerability. He made the leap from Army to consulting because of one bold move. His example proves that taking the time to study your mentors and increasing the size of your network will always pay off, and you’ll want to be sure to take the time to listen to how important that move was to his incredible success. In crisis mode? Here’s what not to do. Shooting from the hip and burying your head in the sand are two of the things you absolutely do not want to do while in crisis mode. It can be hard to tackle head-on, but taking control can help you turn crisis into triumph for your consulting business. You definitely won’t want to miss his advice for how to handle negative online criticism. Listen for that and more strategic advice, including Jonathan’s five keys to communication when handling a crisis, on this insightful episode of Consulting Success.

Collaborative Consulting and the Power of Consistency for Consultants with Jacob Morgan
Jacob Morgan is the principal and co-founder of Chess Media Group, a management consulting and strategic advisory firm focusing on the future of work and collaboration. Jacob works with organizations that are looking to understand how changes in technology and behavior are impacting the way we work. From the wide variety of new technologies available to companies, to the the millennials that are entering today’s workforce, the future of business and technology are shifting dramatically. Consultants who are consistent with their work and willing to work harder to gain clients’ trust are the consultants that are going to achieve the greatest success in this constantly changing business environment. On this episode of Consulting Success, Jacob shares the path that took him from Craigslist to clients seeking his expertise. Be sure to listen to this episode as we examine the key strategic moves you will want to make to secure your position as a sought-after and highly successful consultant. Advisory access or consulting projects — what do clients want? One of the biggest challenges many consultants face is the ability to establish retainer fees with clients right from the beginning. As an on-demand consultant, companies will pay monthly retainer fees to have unlimited access to the your expertise, ideas, feedback, and insights. By collecting retainer fees you can provide coaching and advisory to companies in whatever ways they may need it as various situations arise. Compared to one-time consulting projects, which focus on strategy through workshops, training sessions, and presentations, retainer fees can generate more business for you, and establish a long-lasting relationship with clients. However, Jacob agrees that both create great value, and you may be surprised to hear which approach companies tend to commit to first. No experience, no contacts, and no credibility? You can still build your business by doing this. It is essential that you begin building your business before, during, and after you begin working for high-value clients. Until you can find a way to prove yourself, companies are not going to be interested in your work, or be willing to commit to retainer fees. You can overcome this by establishing the value of your knowledge, skill set, and experience. Newsletters, websites, online articles, blog posts, speaking engagements, webinars and best-selling books will all work to build your business and create trust with potential clients. Listen to the work that Jacob has put into building his business that has made him such a highly sought-after consultant. Building your business means being everywhere. Every consultant is aiming for the day when all work comes from inbound requests from clients. Jacob has made this a reality by growing his busi

How to Write a White Paper That Wins Consulting Projects: An Interview with Gordon Graham
There are few people that can consider themselves as great an expert on white papers as Gordon Graham. Gordon is a white paper writer and consultant who has has worked with Google, Oracle, Intuit, and many other Fortune 500 companies. He’s interviewed over 200 C-level executives and written over 170 white papers. He considers himself a B-to-B copywriter. His career path took him from software company technical writing and journalism to a marketing executive in a software company before becoming an independent copywriter who specializes in white papers and case studies. Gordon has spent the last 20 years dominating his field as the expert of white papers. In this episode, Gordon and I discuss the value of white papers as content-filled marketing tools that you can use to set yourself apart as the expert consultant companies want to hire. How can you make customer success stories work for you? The countless hours of work that you have put into developing your consulting business has undoubtedly come with powerful success stories that you want to share. These stories build confidence with potential clients and provide insight into the work that you do best. There are a variety of ways to share these stories, from blog posts to audio testimonials, articles on your website or presentations at a conference. You’ll be inspired as you hear the list of ways that you can make customer stories work for you. Why do white papers work so well? In today’s industry, up to 96% of customers serve themselves by Googling and then contacting businesses themselves. Customers can make their own decisions about which consultant will work best for them, and white papers can help make their choice an easy one. Gordon recognizes that although you might want to focus your efforts on tweaking your website and all the branding, logos, company name and graphics that go with it, the number one thing that your clients care about is how you can solve their problems. White papers that are filled with marketing content provide clear illustrations of ways that that you can begin to solve your client’s problems. One common misconception is that videos are capable of producing the same kind of results as a well thought out and prepared white paper. However, videos are incredibly expensive to produce, and they do not have the lasting value or shelf life as white papers. A white paper is a simple product that sums up a your best thinking — it can be your best shot at outshining your competitors. You won’t want to miss the stories Gordon shares that illustrate the power of a well-written white paper. Regardless of your company size, a white paper will work for you.

Steve Shu is a management consultant who has worked and consulted for Vodafone, Allianz, Nortel, Lucent and Wolters Kluwer, as well as taught courses in the business school at Irvine University. He helps incubate technology-oriented startup initiatives within other companies, including new business units, innovative areas, and new product development. In this episode, Steve shares key tactics for securing high-figure consulting projects, the value of workshops and networking, and the benefits of making regular investments of increased knowledge within your area of consulting expertise. Key Takeaways: [1:15] Steve details the process of a recent start-up project, beginning with the business definition, and leading up to the acquisition of new clients and staffing the organization. [2:30] What does a $100,000 project look like to Steve? Several phases can contribute to the total project, including funding, organization, and prospecting. [4:50] To win a $200,000 project, Steve suggests starting small — a $40,000 workshop can sell the end vision of a high value project. [9:50] Rather than viewing workshops as a one-time engagement, approach them as the first step to a long-term investment with each company. [11:15] The process of setting fees can be made easier by looking at the trajectory of each business, then aiming for value-size projects and retainer fees, rather than hourly rates. [14:20] An appetite for variety within his area of expertise was the driving reason that Steve began focusing on start-ups within larger companies. [17:17] Steve’s background in working with startups as both a consultant and an operating manager has been advantageous in attracting larger companies, while his knowledge of how to get things done appeals to startup companies. [19:10] Networking and creating strategic relationships are a key strategy in finding referrals and new partnerships. [22:00] Independent consulting has allowed Steve to control the companies he works with, as well as the frequency of change in his geographic location. [23:50] Successful consultants need to make knowledge investments ; investing in intellectual capital provides market stability. [26:22] Consultants need to make regular investments in their expertise to keep themselves relevant in an ever-changing market. [28:30] Knowlege investments are meant to create a new kind of thinking within the existing space of each consultant’s expertise.

From Zero to $300,000 in 18 Months — An Interview with Organizational Development Consultant Betsy Jordyn
Betsy Jordyn is the founder of Accelera Consulting Group. She is an organizational development and strategy consultant who previously worked with Walt Disney World. Her clients also include JCPenney, United Airlines, Hilton Vacations, and many others. In this discussion, Betsy shares the benefits of identifying and narrowing in on a specialized area of expertise, her advice on how to efficiently take control of client requests in order to deliver a more valuable assessment, and how to determine if organizational development consulting is the right fit for you. Key Takeaways: [1:05] Betsy shares the kinds of challenges that come with increasing leadership and organizational capacities. [2:35] Even Walt Disney World needs consultants to take their concepts for improvement in the future to the next level. [4:45] Betsy’s Masters program gave her the start in OD that eventually led to her starting her own business. [7:20] The transition from consulting within an organization to working on her own was easier for Betsy because of her toolbox and her mentors. [8:35] Consultants need to narrow in on an area of expertise in order to keep their business growing. [11:00] Don’t ever hesitate to turn down work that isn’t the right fit, or to ask for more money for work in your areas of greatest strength. [14:05] Compliments are the key to identifying first tier gifts and strengths. [15:15] Specializing allows clients to easily see how you will fit into their team. [17:10] Betsy’s key tip for extracting more value from their client projects is to NOT say yes to the initial assignment that they ask of you — take control of the conversation so that you can help identify and fill their business performance gaps. [21:35] Consultants need to ensure that their expertise is relevant, timely, and has fit with each particular client system, before determining the best way to move forward. [25:10] You can add more value than 99% of consultants by first helping the client articulate their business performance gaps through your initial assessment. [28:50] Consultants that are interested in organizational development need to make sure that they are wired to think like an OD consultant, and get a mentor who can help with delivering practical techniques to their clients.
