Being a consultant can be a big challenge for you. Because you are often dealing with issues and challenges that have been hidden, ignored in hopes that they will resolve themselves, and tackling things that are going to be met with apprehension.
That’s why keeping promises as a consultant is so key.
While you will have missteps and challenges that you must overcome, here are a few ways that will allow you to always keep your promises.
1. Be clear about objectives:
One of the best ways to break a promise to a client is when you don’t have clear objectives. So make sure at the start that you have a clear set of objectives that you have developed for each and every project.
2. Always focus on solutions:
Even when you aren’t perfect, if you are focusing on solutions, you can overcome a lot.
3. Always look to add value:
This doesn’t mean doing anything and everything, but when you have the chance to add value…do it.
