Look Inside

 

The Professional Practice for Consultants ebook will help you consider all of the details that you will need to think of when you are starting out as a consultant.

Whether you work for yourself or someone else, you need to be able to present what you have to offer in a way which attracts employers.
As a consultant, you need to stand out from others in your field.

Whilst to some degree your demand will be related to your relevant experience, years in the industry, and perhaps notoriety through
media recognition, publications, word-of-mouth and so forth - the way that you sell yourself is also important.

It is important to consider:
¦ What services am I going to offer?
¦ How am I going to present my services?
¦ What am I going to charge?

A consultant is basically someone that other people will turn to for their knowledge, expertise and ideas. People with expertise in several different areas, for instance in a number of different facets of business management, may work as consultants in several different capacities or roles.
