Understand the limitations small businesses face
Moving from a corporate career to small business
consulting can be challenging. It will be best if
you are prepared for the limitations of working
in such companies. As Andre Alonzo Chambers
explains, small businesses often have limited
budgets, smaller teams, and many restrictions.

Interview business owners to learn their goals
To help your clients, you need a working
knowledge of their challenges, goals, and
opportunities. The best way to familiarize
yourself with a new client is to interview their
crucial decision-maker and learn about the
companys fundamentals.

Identify each clients key decision maker
In some businesses, the most critical decision
maker is neither the CEO nor Managing Director
in smaller companies and departments, it can be a
department head or Purchasing Manager. Andre
suggests its essential to identify the key
decision-maker so you can focus your efforts on
that person.

Understand how much youre really worth
One of the essential factors in a consulting
business is the pricing structure you choose. Do
you charge clients an hourly fee for your time, a
percentage-based fee for the growth they can
generate, or do you take on fixed monthly
retainers.
7
Create a system to attract new clients
Unfortunately, only some of your clients will
stay with you as your business grows. Some will
explore other consulting options others might
not survive in the competitive small business
environment. That's why Andre Alonzo Chambers
stresses the importance of having a system to
identify and close new clients.
