Synopsis

There is a tremendous opportunity for those looking to get into the business of Consulting. Consulting has become a significant trend as large corporations downsize and seek to find expertise outside of their existing workforce. Most times it is far less expensive to hire a well paid expert on a project-by-project basis than to hire a full time expert who may only be needed a few weeks or months out of the year. This book serves as a how-to guide to not just startup your consulting business but also how to run your business day-to-day, prospect for clients using social media marketing as well as other proven methods, use the latest web technologies to find and bid on projects, grow your business through outsourcing and provides helpful tips, resources and business forms to make your transition as painless as possible. The Start It Up! series of how-to guides for business startups provides the core knowledge you need to plan, start, run and grow your business. Each book in the series contains core business information distilled from the Certified Entrepreneur program offered at Guanzi Institute and each guide is researched and customized for specific business categories.
