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?
Why are you starting out cold when you are working in corporate and have all these connections? You should set up a business (doesn’t cost much) and then start asking clients if they need a consultant offering the services you want to offer.
Don’t even need to quit your job.
