:: Who says old dogs can’t learn new tricks? A few years ago, the Women In Consulting Annual Best Practices Survey unveiled some tricks by top consultants that helped improved my business’ profitability and my work/life balance.
Here’s one: I learned top consultants
out-source the administration of their company so they can maximize their time
on generating revenue. I added a bookkeeper and a virtual assistant to the
Stage2 network and could not be happier. My clients are happier too since I can
use my virtual assistant for administrative tasks on their business as well. We
have all benefited from the Best Practices insight.
As solo practitioners and entrepreneurs, often we have limited
access to relevant benchmarking resources. This is another reason why the WIC
Annual Best Practices Survey is so valuable. You’ll learn what our community
expects of future business prospects, tools they are using to improve their
business and whether they believe clients are receptive to price increases. Without violating any price-fixing laws, the
Best Practices Survey lets us benchmark our success against our peers.
Yet, the data in the Best Practices Survey is only as good as its
participants. That’s why I’m asking you to help us create a better benchmarking
tool by taking and sharing the 17th Annual WIC Best Practices
Survey. The survey, running through May 31st, is open to all
consultants regardless of age, gender and business focus.
You can take the
survey here: https://wiconsult.org/BPS2019
it takes about 10 minutes.
Your community needs you.
Once you take the survey, you will be entered into a drawing
for a 1-year Basic Women In Consulting membership or one of four vouchers for
access to a high-powered WIC webinar recording of your choice. If you are already a WIC member, the Basic Membership
fee is deducted from your total membership fee. You’ll also be offered
exclusive access to LinkedIn and Facebook Groups with personal case study
information, the complete report and a video overview of the results and
recommendations.
On behalf of the board, and the committee that administers the
survey, thank you!
The more survey responses we get, the stronger the data becomes. Or to borrow a phrase from our beloved Golden State Warriors #strengthinnumbers.
