Skref 1 – Skilgreina Perfect viðskiptavinur

Aldur, kyn, atvinna – osfrv Skrifaðu það niður. Hvar þeir hanga út? Gera þeir hafa ráðstefnur? Blogs

Skref 2 – Finna The Hurt -. Stir It Up

Nú þarft þú að skilgreina hvað þú getur gert til að draga úr sársauka þeirra. Þetta er að fara til vera the undirstaða af vellinum þinn. Við skulum taka Slökkviliðsstjóri okkar sem dæmi. Hann örugglega hægt að gera heimili þitt eða fyrirtæki öruggari. Engar efasemdir. En hvernig á að sannfæra tilvonandi kaupanda? Nota óttast tap.

Skref 4 -. Start Marketing og Never Stop

Nú þú ferð að mögulegum viðskiptavinum þínum með kasta þínum. Haltu ókeypis námskeið. Fara þar sem þeir hanga út. Viðskipti félag. Algerlega byrja með vefsíðu / blog. Nema þú hafa góðan vef – þú munt eiga erfitt með að rekast á eins trúverðug. The bragð með vefsíður fyrir ráðgjafa er að gefa í burtu 80% af þekkingu þinni -. Og hlaða eins Heck fyrir the hvíla

viðskiptamálum

Þetta er leiðinlegt. efni. Fyrst, láta mig segja að það eru tvær tegundir af “ráðgjafa”. Fólkið sem raunverulega gera snertið ekki-á vinnu (þeir í raun ætti ekki að vera kallaðir ráðgjafar, en verktakar) og fólk sem skilur mál viðskiptavinarins og getur tækið snjall og framkvæmanlegur lausnir. Það er það sem þú vilt vera.

Hleðsla peninga

Þú þarft að fá greitt. Hversu mikið á að hlaða er alltaf vandamál að reikna út. Hversu mikið er þinn tími virði? Og meira máli – hversu mikið er gildi sem þú gefur virði til þinn viðskiptavinur? Ég hef nokkuð vel hætt ákæra fyrir klukkutímann. Hafa klukkutíma “rekki hlutfall” er gott, heimta sumir viðskiptavinir. Málið er með að þegar þú ert með tímagjaldi sem þú getur verið að bera saman. “Joe ráðgjafi niður götuna gjöld tíu dalir á klukkustund minna en þú.” Ef þú ert verktaki – fínn, það er hvernig það er. En ef þú býður upp á lausnir til að auka hagnað eða fá fleiri viðskiptavini – setja verð á vörunni

TÃmagjald verið stórlega.. Efstu ráðgjafar hlaða eins lögfræðinga. $ 200-500 / Hour. Sem nýr ráðgjafi – nema þú kemur frá efstu stöðu – byrjir á $ 95- $ 130 á klukkustund

Betri enn -. Pakka þjónustu og innheimta fast gjald. Það er það sem ég geri. Svo til dæmis, vinur minn slökkviliðsstjóra fer í fyrirtæki, er sumir spyrja og leita í kring og kemur aftur með lausn til að draga úr eldi áhættuþátt um 50%. (Ég er að gera þetta upp til að sýna). Með því að hugsa smá en og marr nokkrar tölur – þú reikna hann getur spara á tryggingar, gera starfsmenn hans líða betur og svo framvegis. Þá setja verð. Auðvitað, taka tillit til tíma og kostnaði. Þegar þú setur fast gjald sem þú þarft að þáttur í verkefni sem gæti tekið lengri tíma. Ef tímagjaldi er $ 100 -.. Reikna að minnsta kosti $ 150 / klukkustund fyrir fast gjald

Það virkar fyrir mig, er það umhugsunarefni

There is quite Possibly some kind of dilettante independent consultant out there WHO does not really need to work to earn a living, is not Responsible for anyone else’s well-being, and Who can pick and Choose his (or army) Clients and their projects as the mood take him (or host). Life is all laid-back. “Ah,” you say, “you mean the HRH kind of thing.” Not really. The HRH kind of thing is Actually a team, in Any case.

An independent consultant (IC) is just That – a one-off on his own; except that he (or she) may have a secretary / office-minder and sometimes Even two of Them, Although one or other of Them Will usually be away with some kind of pregnancy or a complications in her love life.

The art of the “disadvantages of being an independent consultant” always feels Phenomenal if you’re one of the ordinary rank-and-file WHO has to earn enough money to meeting the work of the business (phone bills, stationery, postage, motor car bills) and support some kind of a family.

There is the un-ending challenge of being expected to keep coming up with some new scheme, some new initiative, for achieving this OR that breakthrough in the promotion or business presentation or operating economies. You are expected to know everything about everything, or at least where and how You Can research it. God Bless the computer age and the ever-Increasing efficacy of the search engines – except you must always keep in the back of your mind the likelihood is that at least three of the Directors have young children WHO have Already found for Papa at least three definitive websites you probably have missed, and They Will be waiting to trap you in the boardroom. Not necessarily out of superintended Any personal malice, but to chalk up Their own brownie points with the Chairman.

But the biggie is the work-load. It is very Likely Immensen and intense. You and your consultancy survive in the long term only by taking on five, six, seven, eight or nine Clients at a time, on the basis That if you lose one client (maybe he goes out of business altogether) you still oughta to have enough fee income to Avoid “bleeding to death” (to use the vernacular of the trade).

But what the IC can not do with this catalog of Clients is tell Any of Them thatthey willhave to be only Priority Two or Three for your attention. They Will all expections to be Priority One.

Hence working Into the night and all through the every weekend Can Quickly become the norm, And the very worst nightmare is the client who, on Wednesday, finally remembers to tell you That he and all his Directors and managers will be going away on Friday night to stay at a seaside hotel for a two-day intensive review of company practice, and hope You will be able to be with Them. And you had been planning to do so many other Important things.

It is evenness Likely That none of Them are Even aware of the others for whom you are working and, generally speaking, it is best kept That way.

THE disadvantages OF BEING A CONSULTANT – 2

That is maybe alright if you have chosen to base yourself in some great regional capital, where there are Many businesses, and probably Many consultancies serving theme. But focus on a county-town environment for some notional ‘quality of life’ benefits and You Can be very Quickly in trouble When Client A asks you to come to a meeting to Discuss how to combat the sparkling new initiatives That have been launcheddirectly by rival Company B, innocently unaware That Company B is also your Client B and his “sparkling new initiatives” are all part of a nice business plan you had compiled, and now you are under orders to find a way to destroy it.

It is always good to read about Max Clifford and his adept handling of one of his high-profile celebrity cases for Which he is getting a celebrity-level fee That Will See Him ‘OK at the bank’ for some while to come.

But for the ordinary independent consultant It can ofter feel there are more disadvantages to being an independent consultant than there are Advantages.

– to sell it, usually to someone who thinks they can fix it; or

-.? to submit it

This article discusses the “fix it option ‘, and what the turnaround firm or individual turnaround consultant make

In fact, turning a business around involves reverse its decline and restore Firstly stability and then, secondly, to use this as a base from which to re-grow its value. But good turnaround consultant or turnaround companies, but the company doctors can try to heal the sick, they can not raise the dead.

Conditions for successful turnaround

The starting point for most turnarounds is the brutal assessment of whether they have the necessary seven elements in place to stand a realistic chance of success are:

1 A viable core ( or a company) is, or can quickly be made, economical then act as the basis of future growth can be restored.

2 Time to carry through the reversal, if they are started too late that they will either not or require the protection of bankruptcy.

3 Funding, as it is usually cash that provides companies with the time it is also true that turnarounds need money to perform as there are often costs associated with both the first restructuring (such as redundancy costs) followed by finance potential regrowth company. This funding must be generated from within either the trading company is, or by selling surplus assets, or outside with refinancing or attract new investors.

4 mark, a clear vision of what the business will look like when it has been changed to restore success, which then provides the management of both the target and motivation.

5 Managers in the business with the faith and will to win to reach the goal, which also sufficiently effective and situational skills to be able to succeed, or access to external resources management to provide additional support when and where it is needed.

6 Support from key stakeholders of the company is, where the most important in the crisis stage is often the bank, but in truth the management company can not do it on their own and they need to be able to pick up a wide range of people including suppliers, customers, employees, bankers, shareholders and others with them.

7 So, give these stakeholders confidence in the plan and the process, as they need to be convinced that the management company is that were in charge of the company’s problems have the ability to get it out again, which usually needs a clear and organized plan and an active program of communication to keep them advised of progress.

An eligible turnaround consultant, as a member of the Institute for turnaround, promoted as Chief Restructuring Officer will bring important situational skills to the process from the extensive experience of dealing with such situations before and will focus on lead the company through restructuring. They will be able to “talk the bankers (and, if necessary insolvency practitioner’s) language, and help give these important credibility to the program by driving communication with key stakeholders.

Stages turnaround

turnarounds usually go through three different stages and while finance, people and marketing issues need to be addressed in each phase, priorities change at all from a financial marketing orientated as turnaround progresses.

turnarounds usually start with Cash crisis, where management priority focuses on short-term survival of the business and solve the immediate crisis. This often involves slimming company down viable core and reduce its portfolio of products and markets only those that are clearly profitable. Cutting staff numbers is often needed at this time but it is important to ensure that you keep the key staff that you want to keep committed to the company while you do it.

a period of stabilization and preparation usually follows the end of the immediate crisis. This is the time to organize regrowth of business you develop new products and markets. Ensure that you have the right management in place to take the business forward and take the measures required tosecure financial facilities that you need for the increased business levels.

Finally, you will need to achieve regrowth needs to return value to the company based on achieving long-term sustainable competitive advantage and financial stability

main task turnaround plan

A successful turnaround process involves the five major projects :.

1 Recognizing the need, to solve the problems you have in the first place to realize that you are one, what it is, and you have to deal with it.

2 Surviving to do it, as to fix the problem you are to avoid being pulled down by the immediate cash crisis, and in doing so get a strong grip on the finances of your business and what these tell you about its performance, problems and possible solutions.

3 Deciding what to do, as you have to take an objective look at the internal strengths and weaknesses of your business, and external opportunities and threats to the environment in which it operates. Only then can you develop appropriate policies and short- and long-term priorities which then will be detailed action plans show who is going to do what, when and what success looks like.

4 Making a plan happen by locking in the support you need from stakeholders and govern your people and to keep them and the stakeholders informed and engaged; process control, constantly looking for the next quick victory while also continuously monitoring the plan against reality and changing circumstances; manage the business, keeping an eye on the numbers and everyday activities; control inherent risks insolvency turnaround situation; and finally control myself like any turnaround activities will be stressful and challenging.

5 And finally, continue to face as when your company has you need to keep it going so using the skills and techniques you have developed a turnaround to ensure that it continues to success.
