Will you be expected to know anything and everything about anything that could ever go wrong with small-business IT? No.

Do You Need to Be Better at Technical or People Skills?

To be a great computer consultant, you just need to be really well organized and be a friendly person that enjoys helping other people. Yes, you need to be extremely resourceful; but you don’t need to be a technical genius to be a computer consultant.

In a lot of ways, being a technical genius can hold you back. Computer Consulting is very much a people business. But even if you have great tech skills and you’re a little shy when it comes to things like working the room, you can get better at it.

Do You Have the Right Skills?

How does someone know whether they really have the right technical skills or enough skills to become a computer consultant? Don’t let a lack of certifications hold you back. It’s just not that important to the typical non-technical small business owner or non-technical small business manager. Until you start selling to an IT director, which typically you only start to see when you get on to accounts that have at least 40, 50, or 75 PCs.

Small Business Owners Want the Whole Package

The typical small business owner or manager is not shopping for credentials. They are buying you, they are buying your business expertise. They are also buying your solution expertise; your ability that you work with other companies like theirs.

How to build corporate Credit for your business What is a D& B Profile & Paydex

Did you know that the most people that you ask would not be familiar with Dun & Bradstreet much less the opportunity to build corporate credit? The history of D&B goes back to 1841 when an enterprising American businessman named Lewis Tappan began providing information to other merchants to assist them in their business decision-making process.

As a former Dun & Bradstreet senior credit analyst I can tell you I have been asked a million different questions about D& B from business owners. I will try to get to the point by explaining there services and how they affect you’re borrowing power as a corporation.

Business owners, who know and understand the D&B credit reporting process, welcome D & B. Owners will give the right information about their business. This owner has been informed early on by the D&B analyst about how to build business credit successfully.

Most individuals or small businesses have not heard of a Duns number or building corporate credit due to the lack of effort or man power it would take to train thousands of businesses around the world. It is left up to the business owner to search out this information and plan for his or her business future. When your business has grown and other business want to learn more about your or extend you credit they call on Dun & Bradstreet for the answers.

Knowledge is as good as the person or object delivering the information, would you agree? D&B makes money selling information to banks, vender’s, insurance agencies, you name it, and they find a market to sell the information globally. The more inquires from other businesses about your business means more money – more attention from D&B about you file right, Right!

Here is the problem initially; Small businesses or start up businesses do not have many buyers or inquires for the information collected by Dun & Bradstreet about your business. Guess what? If you are a business that gets very few inquires if any at all at Dun & Bradstreet, then your account file is not worth very much to D& B. Over all, it counts for Dun & Bradstreet having the world’s largest Data base of businesses. Not so much for you! You have to take action and build your own D& B file. Will explain in more detail later how to do this.

If your business has a file with few inquires, the chances are the file is managed or up dated annually by an entry level credit analyst that processes and validates hundreds of small business files every month. There is no way you are going to get the information or attention you need for building corporate credit from that analyst.

As a small business owner or entrepreneur as a rule, the responsibility falls on the owner to establish his/her Duns file or number for your business. If you are not sure if you have a file Call Dun & Bradstreet directly 1 888 814 1435 or visit D&B’s website dnb.com,

If you should call, ask for a business analyst to help you with finding your business Duns Number.

If your business has a D& B file number, great you are good to go, start building a corporate credit file. If you do not have a D&B number ask them to start a business file for you. It should be free of charge. They will suggest upgrading your file for a charge & additional services, before doing so wait for a day or two, learn more about what they are offering to make a decision. You may not need the service now.

D& B is a great company to work for, with an incredible history of success. For the purpose of business credit they are the best in the business in addition to helping you build your company credit profile.

You just need to know how it works for you. Establish ELOC’s Equity Lines of Credit before you need them. It costs you nothing to plan, prepare and establish early, should you need funding for your business later. It will be confusing to you deciding “who can & who can not”. The cost will vary to get the help you need when you search out corporate credit consultants in this business. Most do not have the training or experience to get financing, much less the business experience to determine additional options.

Find your self a good financial business consultant with business financing experience- he or she can be worth there wait in gold to your business.

I will be adding additional articles on this subject for you to get a better understanding about building corporate credit for you business. It is perfect legal to establish corporate credit, add guarantors, or buy shelf companies. Just do it the right way.

Part 2: Building a Dun & Bradstreet Corporate Credit file for your business.How & What information you should give initially?

Why do you need a Duns & Brad Street profile? A D&B number is like having a personal social security number for your business. This file will stay with the business for as long as the company is active doing business and long after it is gone.

How many of the people out of that list of 30 people who took your original class might themselves be interested in taking your advanced course?

Rhonda: Could be 50% of them would.

Sean: It could be as much as 50%, so I think that marketing to two different groups of individuals, and then making the larger ticket product available to the person who initially spends $5K, you could create almost three streams of income – one with the $5K program, one with the $50K program, and then kind of a third one that’s a bump-up.

You might even run a marketing program to the people who came in at $5K, and six months down the road say, “Hey, I’ve got another program. I normally promote this at $50,000 to people who are just coming right in, but obviously you know all the basics. I’m not going to have to spend as much time holding your hand. I could probably make that class available to you for $35,000 or $40,000.”

Do you think that would even help your conversion rate on those $5,000 individuals?

Rhonda: That’s a great idea, yeah, absolutely.

Sean: Any other questions for me, Rhonda?

Rhonda: No, thank you so much. That’s great.

Sean: You’re welcome.

Let’s see, we’ve gone way over and obviously if somebody had to get off there’s plenty of value there, but do we have time for one more? Are you guys willing to go 10 more minutes and take one more of these?

Caller: Yes.

Sean: Let’s do it then. Who wants to go next?

Let’s say that – anybody need some help kind of brainstorming how their $5,000 product or $10,000 or $50,000 product might look? Do you need any help there?

Ok, let’s do this then. We’ll move on from doing examples. Any questions for me about anything that we’ve talked about today – traffic, subscribers, selling high-ticket items – any questions for me at all on anything we’ve talked about today?

Keep in mind that if you’ve got a question, there’s probably somebody else who’s wishing they had the guts to ask it, so just jump right out there and throw that question in. I’ll make the assumption that in an hour and a half I certainly haven’t answered every question. It would just be humanly impossible, so are there any questions at all that I can answer right now?

For many people, the idea of getting away from their day job is one that is tempting but that they never really look at twice. They are concerned about losing their steady income or their insurance, and they are certain that they simply do not know enough to be their own boss. The truth of the matter is, if you are ambitious enough and have the drive, there is a good chance that you can make your money consulting and that you can do it completely on your own!

If you are in a situation where you are tired of making money for someone else, you will find that consultation is something that you should take a look at. Chances are, you are already an expert on your field; the problem is that your employer has taken pains to make sure that you don’t know it! If you are in a situation where you are considering consulting, take a look at your resources. Think about the training that you have undergone in the past few years and think about what you can do to translate that training and that experience into a field where you will be making lots of money by telling people all about it.

When you take a look at the idea of consulting, you will find that while you may need a discipline and organization to get it it off the ground that it is completely attainable. For many people, consulting is simply them doing their jobs, but on their own terms. Some people even find that their own firms will hire them back to consult and that they will make double the money that they had, or even more. So very often, it is a matter of initiative and drive, rather than anything else.

If you are considering the idea of changing careers, becoming a consultant and running your own business, you’ll find that one of the most important things that you should think about is your time management at work. Are you someone who is organized at work? Do you understand the idea of structure and how it pertains to career development? You will find that organization is something that is crucial when you are looking to make sure that you can make it on your own.

Don’t launch into you career as a consultant unprepared; make sure that you have what it takes when it comes to your own readiness and development!

For any consultant starting off, figuring out what you should bill your clients is often the most difficult challenge. Charge too much and you’ll fear that you wont get any clients, charge too little and you won’t make enough money.

The quick answer is to find out what your peers are billing, and use that as a basis. Often when you are starting off, price may be the only way you can compete.

Once you have an established track record, you can start to justify a higher fee. Many consultants will walk away from a lot of money because they fear that they will not attract the same amount of work. Ironically, this is exactly what you want.

Think about when you first started off in your consulting career. You probably did work for clients who wanted as much as they could get for free, or for next to nothing. In wanting to establish a clientele or portfolio, you likely agreed. Think about the number of hours you spent working on this clients project, and the pay you received for that.

There are many potential clients out there who wants your work, your expertise and your opinion for free, or next to nothing.

There is another set of potential clients who dont mind paying for quality. Those are the clients you want to target. Here’s why:

a) these clients are likely used to paying for quality, and the higher price gives the perception that you are providing that quality.

b) these clients know exactly what they want, and are willing to provide you with details you need to get the project completed. When they are paying you top dollar, time is money

c) a cheaper fee conveys inexperience. The type of clients you want to attract do not want inexperience

d) a higher fee feeds the perception that your work is in demand

When you raise your rates, you will lose clients. However, the clients you gain will make up for it. Imagine working on fewer projects and making the same amount of money as you do today. Now imagine picking up another client in that free time.

Its important to remember that you must deliver on the quality. The increase in expectations match the increase in your fees. If you are going to raise the bar for your fees, be prepared to raise the bar on the quality of your work and how you deliver on it.

Value based billing will often help you get past the challenge of billing a higher rate. If you bill by the project, or bill by the phase of the project, you will find that you can bill a higher rate than your current hourly rate. The faster you get the project done, the more you make per hour, and the happier your client is.

If you bill $2000 for a project that can deliver in 2 weeks, your client will likely budget that you are billing $25/hr. If the project is worth $2000 to complete to the client, they will sign off on the project. If you deliver that project in 1 week instead of 2, you’ll have 1 week off to play golf, or start work on your next project. Meanwhile, your work will be worth $50/hr. Of course, your client is happy because you have delivered your project early, and met his expectations.

Underpromise and over deliver.

Here are just a few ways to increase and diversify your
income from your consulting business.

1. Sell More Services to Your Existing Clients

Instead of spending all that time and money trying to get
new business, why not try to sell more services to your
existing client base?

If you are an accounting and tax consulting firm, for
example, you likely have clients who need some assistance
in their record keeping and documentation. In addition to
your year-end tax services, could you provide monthly
bookkeeping and financial statements, accounting system
setups, training in accounting software, or other services
to assist your client?

Monthly services, in addition to annually billed fees, will
help you smooth out your cashflow and minimize the seasonal
nature of your business.

2. Mass Market Your Advice by Productizing Your Services

Could you produce a folio, special report, newsletter,
e-book, book, audio cassette, video, or course? If so, you
could enjoy making money even when you’re not billing for
your time. While asleep or on vacation, the sale of your
information products could be generating additional income
for you.

Sell such products through direct mail, mail order,
exporting, and Internet marketing (your own website,
your own affiliate programs, eBay auctions, and so on).

As well as the passive, residual income that information
products can produce for you, they also help establish your
credentials as an expert. This, in turn, produces more
consulting opportunities for you.

3. Perform Group Consulting

Seminars, workshops, and teleclasses enable you to help
many participants in a cost-effective manner. In addition
to paying for admission, your attendees may also purchase
some of your information products or even become your
regular consulting clients.

4. Consider Additional Markets

Could you sell your consulting services to federal, state,
provincial, or municipal governments? Could you be an
expert trial witness?

If you consult with local clients, could you extend your
reach nationally or internationally by using the telephone
and Internet?

These few ideas are a starting point for you to brainstorm
all the possibilities for exploding your consulting income.

If you’re the typical person who’s considering becoming a computer consultant, then you are probably a LAN administrator, doing some kind of PC support job for big enterprise or maybe even working for a smaller integrator. In this article, you’ll learn what you need to do first to realize your goal of becoming a computer consultant.

From talking to hundreds of people in this situation right now, the number one thing is that you have to decide that you really want to and really need to do it. Don’t put tons and tons of time getting all this IT training and business training and spending all this money until you’ve decided that you really want to do it.

Why Become a Computer Consultant?

There are lots of reasons why people want to become a computer consultant. You may want to be more responsible for your own career destiny, you may want to be able to build something from scratch that you can call your own, or maybe you’re just totally fed up with being stuck in the cubicle, reporting to your boss, and just in general being held back in your career over things that are way beyond your control.

Take Some Action Right Now

As your first step toward becoming a computer consultant, take out a piece of paper right now and write down “The Top Five Reasons Why I Have To, Need To and Want to Become a Computer Consultant.” Then go ahead and list them. This is really your declaration of independence.

Set a Deadline

You are now laying it on the line and saying all the reasons why you want to, why you have to, why you need to make this happen now. Why you need to start taking the right steps to get going in the right direction. Most importantly though, is when you get done narrowing it down to the top five list, preferably putting the most important reasons to you at the top of the list, give yourself a concrete deadline.

Take out the calendar and make a promise to yourself that you’re going to make it happen and write it down right on the bottom of your piece of paper. Print it out or rip it out of your notebook, put it up on the bulletin board next to your desk and look at it every day. The more specific this is, the easier it is going to be for you to make it a reality.
