The Costliest PR Mistake
When you hire a PR firm, do yourself a favor, let them do their job.  Don’t proceed to tell them how to run the campaign or to completely ignore the firm’s recommendations.  This isn’t uncommon and is often the reason that PR campaigns falter.  It’s not unlike hiring a doctor, doing your own diagnosing, self-prescribing – and then complaining about your medical treatment.  PR can brand your company, take you to the next level, grow your business and establish you as an expert in your field.  But, as with so much in life, for it to work, you sometimes have to get out of your own way. 

What Should A PR Consultant Cost?

How To Strategically Use The News To Identify Create New Business Opportunities
Fortunately I am a very avid reader and follower of “the news.” I pay special attention to the business sections of various media and look for trends, and opportunities within the articles that are printed there. I have made a commitment to stay abreast of business news and can tell you that this has been a key strategy for my marketing efforts over the years. You may say to me, “So What?” Well I can tell you that business opportunities for consultants and others are out there if you know how to identify them. I also know that most consultants do not use the news because they never used some strategic thinking to connect the events in the news to potential business. I am saying to you that once you know what to look for in the news, the opportunities will become apparent. And then those opportunities must be acted upon.

WHAT IS MANAGEMENT CONSULTING
Answering the question "what is management consulting?" is as difficult as attempting to answer the question "how long is a piece of string?” There are two causes for the confusion about exactly what management consultants do. First, management consulting is an umbrella term that encompasses many different careers. Second, management consultants cannot give specific examples of their work because it is confidential and highly sensitive.

RAIN SELLING HOW RAINMAKERS LEAD SALES CONVERSATIONS
By Mike Schultz and John Doerr Sales Conversations for Services To advance in their careers and become Rainmakers (those people at services companies that bring in the new clients and revenue), professionals such as accountants, lawyers, management consultants, and technology consultants eventually need to excel at selling professional services. Rarely, however, are these poor souls given a primer on rainmaking, especially when it comes to leading sales conversations and sales meetings. As a result, they often just 'wing it' and learn by doing, making many avoidable mistakes and losing opportunities to win new clients.

Home Party Marketing - Podcasts & Podcasting : The Best Way To Promote Yourself

May I recommend podcasting?
Consultants Can Be Scary but Do They Provide Value
As a CEO before I became a consultant ten years ago I had very little time for consultants and did not have a high opinion of them. One of the things that always stuck in my craw - and still does for that matter -- is to see a consultant conduct sales training that never actually carried a bag themselves. Some have very little if any experience in the field as an outside sales person. Even more concerning is to watch a consultant give leadership or business acumen advice when that consultant never had to meet a payroll or run a company personally. Consultants can provide real value on many occasions but they can also be your worst nightmare.
Think You’re Ready to Hire a Corporate Consulting Firm?
Here are 5 ways to know for sure. Organizations typically seek the help of outside corporate consultants to provide strategic advice or solve complex problems that cannot be sufficiently handled internally. Usually, the process of hiring a consultant is surrounded by excitement and anticipation of what the consultant will do for the organization. At the same time, an outsider can bring out a mix of fear, doubt, and uncertainty that, if left unchecked, will act as roadblocks to an otherwise successful process. Too often, leaders call on consultants without understanding the attributes necessary to work effectively with an outside firm.
Why So Many PR Consultants Fail
Some organizations dispose of PR consultants like they dispose used plastic bags. And who can blame them? Too many PR consultants fail in their representation of organizations because they simply won’t take the time or invest the energy to learn their industry. However, understanding a client’s industry is the key to successful PR.
