Managing Clients' Expectations Workshop Focus A crucial mistake consultants make is to
focus too much on selling their clients, while failing to think ahead.
Some of them end up in "missions impossible:" client expectations exceed
what the consultant could possibly deliver, and engagements are
ultimately considered failures even though the consultant may have made
valuable contributions and achieved strong results.
