SELLING CONSULTING SERVICES III Workshop Focus Rumor has it that it is particularly difficult for sole consulting practitioners to sell their services to larger corporations and senior buyers. This is little more than a myth. What may be true, though, is that large consultancies often better understand what it takes to engage successfully with such clients. No matter what the size of your own practice, you can learn this, too! This month's workshop will teach you the process required to engage with large corporate clients. Specifically, we will discuss some tough challenges you may be facing along the way:
