This week's survey

(These survey questions are sent in by our readers. Please spend a minute to give your answer to this week's survey as one or possibly more of your industry peers thinks this question is important and wishes to see your point of view as well as others in the industry.)

  

Last week's survey results...

Have you ever employed the services of a professional outside consultant to help you focus and grow your market and business?

 

  

  • Over the years I have heard sign shop owners debate the wisdom of hiring professional consultants to help grow their business. Most owners said that it was not worth their time and money. That could be because they did not brief or spend enough time with the consultant or most properly they selected the wrong consultant. 

    A Professional Business Consultant will spend time analysing your past, current and future business potential. They need to understand all aspects of your production limitations, what you can and what you can't do, what your customer's think of your quality and service and how your pricing compares with your close competitors and how your suppliers rate your company, you and your staff.
    If hiring a professional business consultant is such bad idea why is it that the Sign A Rama group is so successful? 95% of their 100 odd owners come from management and not a signage background. Plus for their first few years in business Sign A Rama make very sure that those new sign shop owners are constantly helped by business consultants teaching them to write up a business plan, help them to analyse their business, train their staff in customer service, help the owners and staff to run weekly production and sales meetings and how to market their business for today, tomorrow and next year.
    The very fact that the Sign A Rama Group Worldwide are successful is the use of professional business consultants. Theirs just happen to work within the corporate office.
    Yes, a professional business consultant who understands YOUR business and who has worked successfully within YOUR industry can and will be a valuable asset to your business today, tomorrow and beyond next year. If you pay peanuts for a consultant you will get a monkey. Select one who has a proven track record in YOUR industry. (Brian Pretorius - PRAETORIAN BMC [Business Management Consultants})

  • Yes. A fresh face with a different perspective is sometimes required to help see the forest from the trees, point out the obvious and throw around a few different view points to consider.

  • No (Peter Cheung , aunt&asia plastic bags)

  • No. Do not think they do anything for you and their costs are ridiculous.

  • Yes, I have quite extensively in the past ustilised the expertise of external advisors / mentors. The greatest hinderance to us as business owners is the emotional attachment we hold to our business, I find that it is highly advantageous to have someone that can remove the clouding emotional response away when making important decisions. I have found that you cannot use one advisors to suit every aspect of your business you wish to address. Many advisors specialise in different areas - ie HR, Business Systems Development, Marketing, Business Growth, Management Development, Quality Assurance etc etc....Thoroughly determine what it is you wish to accomplish and address and make sure that the person you engage is qualified in that respective area and able to fulfill your requirements. Hold open coffee table interviews / discussions with prospective advisors to determine whether you feel comfortable working with this person and whether he/she can fulfill your needs. Advisors often don't come cheap so discuss remuneration options available tailored to suit your cash flow. Outline realistic time frames with goals that need to be reached by certain dates, use these as KPI's for measuring your progress and your success using this person. Also there are many highly experienced (semi retired & retired) businessmen and women (and groups) that enjoy giving their time and passing on their huge knowledge base to growing businesses for very little to no remineration, seek these people/organisations out. I have found the greatest success in using advisors is my own personal growth as a business owner and the knowledge I have obtained over the years is priceless....I still have a lot to learn... (Steve Baker, Steve Baker Signs Pty Ltd).

  • Yes, and what a disaster it was. Hugely expensive, a lot of airy fairy words, didn't understand our business, and gave me a lot of extra work for no return. Amongst other things I was supposed to list my competitors failings and compare their prices with mine. (as if they are going to tell me their prices)
