Planning to start a consulting business? Here are 5 tips for you from an award winning owner of Zion Hospitality Consultants, Umesh Kapoor.
1. Introspect: Being a consultant is not an easy game:
There are a lot of parameters one should follow. It is important that a consultant must have some following key ideas in his mind. Since the client is way too trustworthy on the consultant, it becomes imperative that as a consultant you must not breach that trust. A sound knowledge about The matrix which is being proposed must be known to the consultant intrinsically. Detailed roadmap of the project in proposition must be known to the consultant. As an educationist, consultant must be able to educate his client for the project.
2. Budgets:
The consultant must always make sure that the design which is being proposed is not only trendsetting but also delivered under the best possible budgets.
3. Ethics:
It is very important for the consultant to be ethically rational at all times with his project and the client.
4. Visionary:
It is one of the most important aspects of a successful consultant. It is a consultant vision that would be seen and followed once the project goes live. As a demanding and great visionary, he or she must always be aware of the trends which are coming and feasible.
5. Business and only business:
As a consultant it is important to concentrate on creating a successful business model rather than a project with extrinsic values and high budgets.
