100, Anyone in the management consulting and coaching area
Posted by strategyconsult, Wed Aug-01-07 03:06 PM
Hello businessowners,

If anyone has started a management consulting business, I would like to know when they started getting clients and how they did got their first client? Did you incorporate and if so when?

I am a management consultant and I am waiting to incorporate and also trying to be careful about acquiring clients and wanted to get an idea about the experience of other management consultants.

Thanks for your responses in advance,

Regards

Hello,

I'm a management consultant. I started my business as an LLC in October 2006 I received my first client four to 5 months later.
I find that it's a networking business. You have to let people know you're out there. I have gotten a couple more clients via referrals as well. You also have to stay on top of marketing. I make sure I attend at least two networking events a month.
Hope this helps.
