    76: Finding In-Market Consulting Buyers: A New, GPT-Powered Method

    Most consultants don’t land conversations with buyers because they lack expertise.They lose them because they approach buyers at the wrong time.Consulting engagements are rarely random. They are typically triggered by events such as: 👉 A leadership change.👉 A hiring surge.👉 A contract about to expire.👉 A missed quarter.👉 A regulatory shift.👉 An acquisition.Yet most outreach happens without visibility into these triggers. It becomes a numbers game instead of a timing strategy.When you miss buying triggers:⚠️ Sales cycles drag on⚠️ Conversations stall⚠️ You compete on persuasion instead of urgency⚠️ Prospects say, “Let’s revisit this later.”The difference between a cold conversation and a welcomed one is often timing.If you’re not identifying trigger events in your market, you’re relying on guesswork.I’m hosting a live session on Buying Triggers for Consulting, where I’ll walk through the key triggers that move organizations into action.We’ll also use a new GPT designed specifically for consultants. It helps you:✅ Identify relevant buying triggers for your market✅ Analyze target companies✅ Surface verified signals✅ Prioritize where to focusThe goal is simple: reach prospects when change is already happening.Join the Consulting Growth Hub community for FREE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.skool.com/b2b-consulting-growth-6639/about⁠⁠⁠⁠ To follow along with visuals, join the Consulting Growth Hub community and access all the video replays: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.skool.com/b2b-consulting-growth-6639/about⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Interested in adding $100K to 500K in new consulting revenue in 12mos?Check out our website to learn how we can help: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.consultingleap.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow or connect with Faheem Moosa (let me know you listened to the podcast): ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/faheemmoosa/

    75: Turn Your Consulting IP Into Interactive Tools using AI

    Most consultants have valuable intellectual property. But over time, it gets forgotten. It sits in folders somewhere on your computer.Frameworks, checklists, spreadsheets, diagostic tools, methodologies. Half-used. Half-forgotten.You probably created them for a one-off workshop, a presentation, or a specific client engagement. You spent hours thinking them through, structuring them, refining them. Then the project ended and those tools were never used again.As a consultant, you know you have valuable expertise and strong thinking tools. You are just not using them often. And that is a waste.Now consider this. What if you could take all of that existing IP and productize it using a simple GPT-based framework. A practical way to turn what you already have into usable tools.Those tools could be interactive assessments, diagnostics, or calculators. You could use them as lead magnets to start better conversations. Or you could embed them directly into your client delivery so your work becomes more consistent, more scalable, and easier to differentiate.In the next Consulting Growth Hour, I am going to walk you through how to turn the IP you already have into interactive tools using AI.You do not need to know how to code. There are no complex software builds involved.You will see real examples of frameworks that were stuck in Excel, Word, or PDFs, and how they can become tools that save time, improve how clients experience your expertise, and make it easier for prospects to understand your value.This approach helps you reuse your best thinking. It helps you create clearer, more meaningful conversations with buyers.Whether you do this or not, other consultants already are. They are productizing their expertise and using low-code, no-code tools to engage prospects and clients.Set aside one hour and join live. See how this applies to your business. You will get access to the tools used in the session and see concrete examples you can adapt to your own practice.

    74: The Mindsets and behaviors That Drive Sales Excellence in Consulting

    Many consultants do not struggle with sales because they lack ability.They struggle because they have quietly decided that sales is not “for people like them.”I regularly hear consultants say they are bad at sales, that they do not like asking for business, that they are not extroverts, or that selling feels awkward and unnatural. Some believe that if their work is strong enough, clients should simply find them without much effort.These are thoughtful, capable professionals.They are not avoiding sales because they are careless.They are avoiding it because of the story they tell themselves about who sales is for and who it is not.That story has consequences.⚠️ When you believe you are bad at sales, you do not practice it.⚠️ When you believe asking is uncomfortable, you avoid conversations.⚠️ When you expect good work to speak for itself, you wait instead of building momentum.⚠️ When you do not build habits, sales becomes sporadic, emotional, and draining.Over time, this creates an uneven pipeline, fragile confidence, and a sense that growth is always harder than it should be. What looks like a skills problem is often a mindset and behavior problem hiding in plain sight.This is exactly why I am hosting a live 60 minute conversation with David Brock, a seasoned management consultant and author of “Is 'Good Enough' Good Enough: Mindsets and Behaviors for Sales Excellence."We will not be talking about scripts or persuasion tricks. We will be talking about how consultants change the way they think about selling, show up consistently, and build the daily behaviors that make sales feel grounded rather than forced.In this session, we will explore:✅ Why many capable consultants label themselves as “bad at sales”✅ What high-performing consultants do between client projects to keep momentum instead of restarting from zero✅ What excellence in selling actually looks like for non extroverted, expertise driven professionals✅ How to move from “I’m not good at sales” to a concrete operating model for selling your expertiseIf sales has felt uncomfortable, inconsistent, or heavier than it should, this conversation will give you a different way to think about it.

    73: From Projects to Partnerships: Creating a Profitable Client Journey in Consulting

    I recently ran a poll on the average length of a consulting engagement.Here’s what I found:👉 57% of consultants said 8 months or less👉 78% said 12 months or lessOn the surface, that sounds fine. But the most of these projects are one-and-done. And in consulting, the real profits come not at the start of a client relationship, but towards the back end.Research by Fred Reichheld (creator of the Net Promoter Score) with Bain & Company showed that even a modest 5% increase in client retention can raise profits by 25% to 95%.So if your engagements end after 8 - 12 months, imagine how much profitability you’re leaving on the table.That’s profit that could mean:✅ Hiring a great team to deliver engagements✅ Bringing on a COO to free up your time✅ Funding your children’s education✅ Taking bigger, longer vacations without stress✅ Selling your firm at a higher multipleShort-term engagements cut all of that off. They force you back on the treadmill of constantly finding new clients instead of compounding value with the ones you already have.So how do you fix this?The answer is to design an effective client journey.A client journey that’s rooted in a strong point of view, positioned as the solution to a large, costly, and urgent problem - and structured in a way that keeps clients with you for the long term.True consulting success doesn’t come from stacking up short projects. It comes from building long-term client relationships that grow in value over time.That’s exactly what we’ll explore in the next Consulting Growth Hour: how to design a client journey that turns short-term wins into long-term profitability.If you want your consulting business to generate consistent cash flow, sustainable growth, and real freedom - join us live.

Their new book distils interviews with senior rainmakers at McKinsey, Bain, BCG, Accenture, IBM, AWS, KPMG, Deloitte, Publicis, Omnicom and several others into a practical playbook for sustainable growth.They’ll share how to build a world‑class BD function, including:✅ Identifying buyers, niching and strengthening your brand✅ Frameworks for designing and expanding services✅ Account planning and smart cross‑selling✅ Winning new clients predictably✅ Team roles, structure and performance managementWhy attend?

    69: From Chaos to Control: Financial and Operational Systems for Serious Consultants

    Are you really running your consulting business – or is it quietly running you?You're landing clients. Revenue’s flowing. It all looks good from the outside.But under the surface?No systems. No forecasting. No plan for when things slow down.That’s not growth. That’s a time bomb.- You’re committing to new expenses (team, tools, systems)… without knowing if your business can support it- Your personal and family financial responsibilities are growing alongside the business- You’re operating without a clear budget, no reliable way to forecast cash flow, and reacting to every slow month like it’s a surpriseDoes this sound familiar?Growing a consulting business without a strong operational and financial foundation is like building a house on sand.The first wave of growth feels exciting.The second leaves cracks.The third? Everything starts to feel unstable.In the next Consulting Growth Hour, I’ll be joined by Craig Levin, MBA, Founder of 3D Consulting and a seasoned executive who truly gets it.Craig has led Finance and Operations at both global enterprises and nimble startups, guiding companies through complex growth phases, major cost-saving initiatives, and organizational change.
