What do you ask if you were interviewing a consultant?

Find out in the latest installment of Consulting Conversations from our Director of Consulting Hank Harris. Watch it now!

Probably the biggest thing I think you want to ask is the consultant's experience. First of all, potentially with the kind of business that you happen to have. And secondly, if there's a specific thing that you have the consultant doing, for example, working on strategic planning, or working on marketing and business development, or human resources, or whatever the subject matter might be.

You certainly want to inquire about their experience and certifications and knowledge about that particular you know branch of study.

And I think although that it may be not a specific question per se; it's important that the chemistry that you have with your consultant be good, and you need to get a feeling or that in the interview process as well.

We'd love to hear from any private business owner in North Carolina that thinks we could be of some help to them and understanding how their business gets better or where it might go in the future.
