Starting today, I have a 5-part guest blog series running in Business Consulting Buzz – an informational blog for consultants and consulting firms.
You can check it out here – http://www.consulting-business.com/
If you join their list, you’ll be notified when the next installments are published over the next several weeks.
In today’s edition, I talk about how the dream of having prospective clients lined up at your door is elusive for the vast majority of consultants.
And that the fastest, most effective solution is to reach out and introduce yourself to your prospects. This can be done by phone, direct mail or email.
One-to-one marketing may not be exactly what consultants had in mind when starting their business, but it works. And it works best when you have a plan.
Later installments will cover the list, the offer, the message and the follow-up.
As always, I look forward to your feedback.
