From time to time, we may have to do additional research to assess demand for new services or marketing strategies. When we want to strengthen or expand our business, we have to plan and execute the changes that are required. We must develop our own marketing plan and implement the strategies. These include identifying prospects, selling services, writing proposals, closing sales. Networking with everyone we come into contact with.
Every client has a problem or a challenge.
Consultants must be good analysts with the ability to see the big picture, to assess it and then to develop solutions that will resolve problems in a creative, practical and cost-effective way. We are responsible for managing every aspect of our business to ensure it becomes and remains profitable. Even if we have clerical help, inevitably, we must do some of our own filing, computing, mailing, deliveries, telephone answering and supplies ordering. Recruiter Consultants are personally responsible for hiring suppliers and contracting with business colleagues to work on assignments. What I enjoy most is the variety of industries, projects and clients.
