CRM Help Wanted

I have a client who is seeking a consultant to assist his small business with CRM. Specifically, he needs to find out what CRM software makes the most sense for his needs and his growing business. IF THIS IS YOUR EXPERTISE (not merely your experience with CRM and a recommendation), contact Peter Meyers. You can reach him at peter@standanddeliver.com. Tell him you heard of this from me.

I want to emphasize, this must be your expertise, not merely your experience with particular software. Please don’t write to me about this.

Beware the Passive-Aggressive

Passive-aggressive behavior, which seeks to hurt under the guise of help, is highly malicious and potentially damaging. (“Oh, your son was accepted into UCLA? Was that his second choice?”) In the June edition of HR Magazine, Signe Wilson offers these telltale signs that you’re dealing with a passive-aggressive personality:

• avoids responsibility
• performs less or deliberately underperforms
• misses deadlines
• withholds information
• uses communications other than face-to-face dealings
• arrives late for meetings
• gives lip services to suggestions which are not acted upon
• claims to lose or misplace important materials
• embarrasses others regularly, though seemingly inadvertently
• is constant in these behaviors

I’ve paraphrased, but beware of people who are deliberately inefficient and allow problems to grow if it means elevating them and degrading you.

Subcontractors for “Clients for Life”

Submitted by Andrew Sobel:

I am looking for one or more experienced consultants to work as subcontractors to deliver consulting and training programs based on my books (All for One, Making Rain, and Clients for Life) and intellectual property. My clients are large services firms that want to grow revenues by building long-term, trusted-advisor relationships with their clients. Candidates should meet the following criteria:
• 10 or more years experience as a consultant or trainer
• Track record of working with senior executives at the VP/SVP/Partner level
• Strong executive presence
• Excellent communications and facilitation skills
• Personal experience in building and sustaining executive relationships
I prefer candidates who are based in the New York area/on the east coast, as that is where much of the work is and where I currently reside, but that is not a requirement.

Please contact me by email at andrew@andrewsobel.com. I would appreciate a short statement of interest, a summary of the kinds of work you do, and a brief career history of some kind. If you have a resume or bio sketch please attach it. I will respond to all inquiries. My website is www.andrewsobel.com. Thank you, Andrew.

Well, Look Again….

Here I go again, trying to bring some optimism and positive techniques to the economy and consulting services. By the way, it was recently mentioned in the Wall Street Journalthat Europe will recover much more slowly than the U.S., which should be better days as early as the start of next year.

Consultants Newsreports in its June 5 edition (Kennedy Information, Peterborough, NH) that “…a large number (of consulting) firms said they have stepped up marketing and sales efforts to support top-line growth.”

In the June/July Business Week SmazzbizMichael Porter is cited (page 47) saying, “Those companies that ramp up capacity will be able to gain market share. Much larger organizations won’t be able to meet the demand because they’ve downsized and outsourced.”

Tell your clients as well as yourself that these are the times to invest in themselves and their near-term future.
