:: Who says old dogs can’t learn new tricks? A few years ago, the Women In Consulting Annual Best Practices Survey unveiled some tricks by top consultants that helped improved my business’ profitability and my work/life balance.
Here’s one: I learned top consultants out-source the administration of their company so they can maximize their time on generating revenue. I added a bookkeeper and a virtual assistant to the Stage2 network and could not be happier. My clients are happier too since I can use my virtual assistant for administrative tasks on their business as well. We have all benefited from the Best Practices insight.
As solo practitioners and entrepreneurs, often we have limited access to relevant benchmarking resources. This is another reason why the WIC Annual Best Practices Survey is so valuable. You’ll learn what our community expects of future business prospects, tools they are using to improve their business and whether they believe clients are receptive to price increases. Without violating any price-fixing laws, the Best Practices Survey lets us benchmark our success against our peers.
Yet, the data in the Best Practices Survey is only as good as its participants. That’s why I’m asking you to help us create a better benchmarking tool by taking and sharing the 17th Annual WIC Best Practices Survey. The survey, running through May 31st, is open to all consultants regardless of age, gender and business focus.
You can take the survey here: https://wiconsult.org/BPS2019 it takes about 10 minutes.
Your community needs you.
Once you take the survey, you will be entered into a drawing for a 1-year Basic Women In Consulting membership or one of four vouchers for access to a high-powered WIC webinar recording of your choice. If you are already a WIC member, the Basic Membership fee is deducted from your total membership fee. You’ll also be offered exclusive access to LinkedIn and Facebook Groups with personal case study information, the complete report and a video overview of the results and recommendations.
On behalf of the board, and the committee that administers the survey, thank you!
The more survey responses we get, the stronger the data becomes. Or to borrow a phrase from our beloved Golden State Warriors #strengthinnumbers.
