WHAT SHOULD YOU LOOK FOR IN A BUSINESS CONSULTANT? Some of the most important questions you need to address are: How well do we communicate with one another? Can this person articulate the problems in a language that is clearly understandable? This is where personal characteristics such as trust and sincerity will outweigh technical expertise. You must feel very comfortable with this person since you are about to trust them with what could be your most prized possession – your company. Other determining factors should include costs that are involved, how and when they will be paid out, and what type of measurable results can be anticipated and when. A good consultant should be able to provide professional expertise, an objective or fresh approach on how your business is doing and possess the vision to help your business reach its full potential for success. Additionally, the skills and expertise that a consultant provides should be transferable so that you do not become totally dependent on the consultant. With most situations, the goal of a good consultant should be to work himself or herself out of a job.
