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.
