Veteran Seattle Consultant Provides Tips for New Consultants

April 12, 2011 - PRLog -- If your dream is to become a consultant, but not sure how to start, Seattle management consultant Terry Corbell provides the six strategies for a successful vision plan.

“Obviously, strategic planning is a key to success,” writes Mr. Corbell (http://www.bizcoachinfo.com). “Although I’d recommend a strong action-focused business plan, the good news is that businesses can and do succeed without one.”

With more than 30 years experience in management, marketing, human resources and the media, Mr. Corbell suggests developing an action vision plan. His column is entitled, “Your Dream is to be a Consultant? Here’s How to Develop Your Vision Plan.”

“The trick, I learned, is to create a solid, tightly written one-page vision plan,” writes the business-performance consultant. “That means keeping in mind your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.”

He explained how his writing his action plan in 1992 prompted him to expand his portfolio, as a confidential, full-service business-performance consulting firm.

“You see, I had kept stumbling into client problems I knew how to solve,” writes Mr. Corbell. “Another credo: Find a need and fill it.”

Mr. Corbell recommends an action vision plan with these six elements:

- Company mission statement
- Summary
- Benchmarks
- Strategies
- Expenses
- Sales

His advice also includes a link to his 60 ground rules for effective client service, and strategies on how consultants can build trust with clients.

Mr. Corbell is often invited to speak at various organizations. His confidential management services include: http://www.bizcoachinfo.com/managemen-services.

His business-news portal, The Biz Coach, provides countless free strategies for business performance, in Planning, Operations, Marketing/Sales, Finance, Public Policy, Tech, HR and Wall Street.

Mr. Corbell fully understands workplace diversity and cross-cultural communication are necessary for good business (he holds Tribal Citizenship in the Cherokee Nation).
