from the costly mistakes I made!
I've
been a consultant since 1977, but wasn't always as
knowledgeable as I am now. I learned a great deal from
reading, from an ex-husband who had 10 more years'
experience as a consultant than I, and from painful, and
sometimes expensive trial and error.
My full-day seminar, Successful
Consulting, and my weekend
seminar, Get
Corporate Counseling Contracts, were quite popular
because the knowledge saved newer consultants a lot of time
and money. My students wanted to buy the notes I printed to
take home and refer to when they need a solution to a
sticky situation or a reminder to motivate them through a
business lull. I've distilled my best tips and ideas and
presented them here in an easy-to-read format.

5 Sample
tips
1. 16
Warning signs of client problem: "The services you've
been asked to provide just don't feel right. Pay attention
to your intuition: stop and think what was happening when
you first got that feeling. Pinpoint the source of your
concern and discuss it."
2. 15 Ways
to quote fees: "Tell a potential client
how long your quote will be valid. This requires them to
make a decision by a specified date."
3. Media/Press
interview checklist for action: "List 20 questions they
are likely to ask, including insulting, embarrassing, and
alarming questions. They are sure to ask at least one and
you will need to have a confident reply ready so you aren't
blind-sided."
4. 8
questions your services brochure must
answer:
"Who is the person behind the company? A service is an
intangible. Clients demand tangibility and you are the
tangible aspect of your service. Give them your name, in
addition to your company, and perhaps a photo."
5. 10 tips
for promoting yourself: "Volunteer for high
profile positions such as association or company spokesman
or committee chairman. Public relations, publicity, and
fund drive chairmen are often interviewed and quoted in the
course of their responsibilities."
