5 Tips on Being a Consultant

This is my first time being a consultant. So take this all with a grain of salt and be glad that in this economy, there is still a need for strategists.

Here's a list of what I've noticed are critical to successful consulting.

1) Schmooze with a smile
2) Keep everyone on your team in the loop.
3) Over-communicate.
4) Learn Powerpoint and SmartArt function like your life depends on it. In fact, it does.
5) Get published, and speak your way into seminars.
