GETTING STARTED
All of our services include an initial consultation to specifically identify what you want to accomplish and the most effective way to get there. Next, we provide you with a comprehensive contract proposal that includes a project plan with methods, timelines/milestones, pricing and a schedule.
Some Things to Think About
There are many kinds of consultants for you to choose from - it makes sense to do some serious thinking before reaching out to one.
Here are some things to think about:
* What do you specifically want to accomplish in this project - your expectations about the results?
* Based on your work with other external consultants or advisors, what are the things that made those professional relationships both productive and enjoyable?
* What do you see as your role and that of others at your company to make this project a success?
When you meet with a potential consultant, bring a list of questions. This will allow you to both qualify if the consultant has the necessary expertise to help and to see if you and others at the company would enjoy working with them.
