Instruction manual

1

Outline the field of activity in which you intend to position yourself as an expert. Think about how this type of activity or type of business process is relevant and important from the point of view of entrepreneurs, and whether a service of this kind will be in demand at all. There are many areas within which there are many existing consulting companies — organizing sales of all kinds, logistics, effective personnel selection, creating marketing strategies — you can continue for a long time, or you can easily come up with a new direction.

2

Create a base to start your business. This may be an office, which is not very advisable at this stage, or a convenient workplace in your own house or apartment. The set of necessary tools is standard: a telephone for negotiating, a computer with a client base and the Internet to search for new customers. At first, a “home office” will be the best way to organize your work, especially if you are still not completely sure of its success.

3

Conduct a comprehensive promotion using all the effective and accessible channels for distributing advertising information. As successful consultants assure, print advertising works well in industry media and business publications, as well as in city directories for goods and services. It is also good from the very beginning to create your own blog and work out a direct selling system, without which, at first, alas, you can’t do without it.

4

Work on your own image and the image of the company from which you, in the only person so far, work. Order a logo design, print business cards, try to comply with a strict business style in everything - both during telephone conversations and during meetings with clients. The opinion about your status is very important, since you will have to work mainly with people who highly value themselves and their abilities in the modern business world.
