SELECTING A CONSULTANT

Small businesses often lack the internal resources needed to complete major business projects, and look for an outside consultant for assistance.

Such projects include:
  • Preparing budgets, business plans and cash flow projections
  • Creating a marketing plan and conducting the related campaign
  • Making major IT improvements or even just monthly IT maintenance
  • Tax returns
  • Developing an employee manual
  • Employee benefits packages
  • Customer Advisory Boards
  • Team Advisory Boards
  • Towards Awesome Service Training
  • KPI monitoring
  • Phone Right
  • Strategic Planning

Small business owners and managers can get the best results from their consultants by asking themselves 10 simple questions. See The Consultant Customer’s Bill of Rights at:
