How Business Consulting Can Increase Profits

A good business consultant can make a significant difference in the success of a company, whether you are starting a business or have an existing company. Effective business consultants can provide a business plan for opening a business or do business planning to turn around poor sales performance. Whatever the situation, the business services offered should take into account short-term as well as long-term goals. The following discussion describes the general approach taken by a business management service.

Stages of Business Management Consulting

Information Gathering - This is the initial phase when the business consultant will learn about the company, such as the products or services offered, customer base, performance record, how decisions are made, how problems are handled, employee compensation and benefits, quality control methods, and more. Business consultants will meet with key employees and, possibly customers as well, to discuss matters needed to learn the necessary information.

Problem Identification - Whether conducting large or small business consulting, the problems and obstacles to success need to be identified. It should be understood that the problems identified by a business marketing professional may be different from the problems seen by company insiders. Sales points and revenue will be examined. Tax considerations will need to be evaluated.

The consultant will need unrestricted access to the business and third party services, such as a payroll service, so a confidentiality agreement is often recommended to protect trade secrets. It will be important to have trust in the business consultant and a free exchange of information.

Opportunity Identification - Possibilities for increasing revenue will vary by the type of company involved. Sales history and growth will be taken into account. Some ideas may include new products or services or use of business outsourcing. The business marketing professional will solicit ideas from owners, managers, and key employees.

Assessment - After conducting the steps above, an analysis will be made, and the facts, conclusions, and recommendations will typically be summarized in a report. It's important that this report is customized to the particular company, rather than using a canned formula.

Recommended Solutions - A plan will be formulated for reducing expenses and increasing revenues. Solutions to problems and new opportunities will be presented.

Implementation and Oversight - Business owners and managers will give feedback on the new strategies suggested. The consultant will oversee the new business plan, track its progress, and make any needed adjustments as it progresses.
