If you've been giving away
your advice for free until now, or you're thinking of
switching from employment to independent consulting start
here. These are my handouts/class notes from my full day
seminar. I'm available to present
this seminar to your group.
Seminar
Creator/Facilitator: Andrea Reynolds
I
have been polishing, positioning, and promoting independent
consultants, professionals, how-to authors, and other
knowledge-sharers since 1977. I am a speaker, writer,
publisher of newsletters and booklets, and author of
numerous manuals on self-promotion, marketing professional
services, and selling specialized advice.
These are the notes from
the original, full day, Successful
Consulting seminar I created
for beginning
consultants (basic level), now at a price
substantially lower than the $79.00 one-day seminar
registration fee.
