My masterplan for reaching $200k annually as an consultant (alien.top)
 

G'Day folks - Looking to see what you guys think about my plan.

Background:

I am working in cooperate since 18 years and I had a lot of success driving sales. What I am very good at and people are seeking help from me are the following:

  • Market data analyses (advanced SQL and Excel skills)
  • Communication skills (negotiation, self presentation, persuading, clear communication etc.)

I use my advanced data analyses skills underlining my arguments with customers. I am obsessed with data. I negotiate with customers doing several million dollar turnovers every year.

I am sick of working in corporate. I have so many ideas which I often see from the data. But most companies are to afraid or just follow stupid guidelines and not testing them out.

What I want to do:

I want to help businesses as a consultant in business analyses. Gathering all data internally and transforming them to achieve external goals. I will also help them to communicate this data externally. I will also work on their negation and self presentation.

Product:

I am not very clear about my products as it is a mix of business analytics and communication training. I am wondering if that makes people confused.

How I want to get customers:

  • Writing blogs/articles/YouTube/podcasts etc.
  • Partner with local networks
  • Speaker at events
  • Writing a book

What do you think about my plan? Would you hire somebody like me?

Is business difficult? Vent your frustration about business, which types of challenges are you facing? in c/entrepreneur@indiehackers.space

Companies are more concerned about spending money. So in my case I just shifted the business more into B2C. I think what you need to be as an entrepreneur is creative and adjust to the market/situations you are facing.

Ideas / suggestion about validating an idea between online learning and consulting business? in c/entrepreneur@indiehackers.space

Why not build an MVP and test it out? If you see demand of your customers and you already have a lot of videos why not set up a member system and advertise it on your existing and former clients?

Starting a consulting business (alien.top)
 

Hi all,

Here is my background: • 39 years old • 15 years strategic Marketing/Sales FMCG background (mostly crunching numbers, planning/ allocating budgets, analyzing data, calculating offers, market research) • Owing some multi family homes as Investment • Owing a self storage facility (40 tenants) • Having a Real Estate Agent license (but never worked as a Realtor) • No cash (Everything is in Real Estate or reserved for renovations) • Residing in Germany/Europe

I was approached by a friend he wanted me to make his business plan without even advertising it. So I thought that must be a sign.

I was settled on the idea of starting a consulting business in the field of marketing/sales/real estate. I like putting together numbers and see different type of business. I get bored of routine work…..and most importantly I think I can really help people.

What do you guys think? How would you approach it? I thought I maybe start with writing business plans for people and grow my network.
