The Meaning of Consulting

The word consulting is defined as:

Webster’s Dictionary - Providing professional or expert advice

Dictionary.com - Employed or involved in giving professional advice to the public or to those practicing the profession

The idea of Consulting Sales is selling like a consultant, we counsel and advise people. This is all based on honor; if they trust you and believe that you would never advise them to do anything that’s not in their best interest, why would they work with anyone else.  This can take time; it’s not about “the sale", rather it's about building business that will never leave you.  This is a lifestyle, not a gimmick.

Doing business this way requires a belief and trust in the law of the harvest.  You reap what you sow.  So, if you put forth honest effort, good things will happen, it just does.  Sometimes our faith in this principle can waiver, because we think we know when good should be returned.  It will always be returned, but we don’t know when payday is.

As a consultant, we operate by a code of ethics and we will never do anything to put that in question. How can we council, advise or consult if we are not trusted?
