How can it help me?

Good tools are hard to find. It takes time to find them, and to determine how to integrate them into your offerings.

A Consulting M.O. license gives you a single source of integrated tools that you can begin using immediately.

It provides a framework to grow your practice, and makes it easier to train employees and deliver repeatable high-quality services for each client. This shortens training time, lowers delivery costs, and builds an asset for your practice that can grow even after you stop consulting.

Is it software?

Yes and no. The strategy wizard is a web-based software tool. It’s simple to use – you can run a customized plan in just three steps, then save it on the site and send it to yourself via email.

The guided best practices are Word & Excel documents. They’re formatted with checkboxes and open response areas for you to record your plans. They also use icons to designate different areas. But they’re still Word & Excel – powerful but simple. You can also modify them as needed and download fresh copies whenever necessary.

You can review & print a sample document in any of the 29 subjects - just use this map to choose a subject.

Return to questions

How does it work?

You’ll use the web-based software (our "strategy wizard") to create a custom plan for a client.

The plan gives you an overall strategy and general step-by-step tactics for your project. It then lists the documents (from our 1,200 pages of best practices) that can help at each step. You’ll click the link, enter your password once, and download the document to your computer, then use/modify it as needed. If you need a fresh one, you can download it again.

For details, please contact us now.

Return to questions

What do you mean by "B2B?"

The phrase refers to business-t0-business marketing. If you sell a product or service to businesses, then you’re a B2B marketer. If you sell directly to individuals who use your product for their personal lives, you’re a consumer marketer.

Return to questions

Does the Consulting M.O. work for consumer marketing?

Right now the content is geared to help business-to-business marketers. While many of the principles are the same, B2B marketers face different challenges than consumer marketers on a daily basis. And while we’re working on a consumer version, many of the subjects can work for either category. Feel free to contact us and we'll help you decide whether the material can help you.

I need to get approval before I purchase – do you have any literature or a demo I can show my boss?

Yes: download the brochure and/or check out our demos. Or please feel free to contact us and we’ll get you what you need.

Return to questions

How much work is this?

It’s hard work to build a consulting business. The Consulting M.O. materials often ask difficult questions on challenging topics. However, the opportunity doesn’t create more work for you over the long haul. After you become comfortable with a new service, you gain leverage over your time to help you build a more successful practice.

Return to questions

I’ve seen marketing templates & software before. How is the M.O. different?

They’re very different. The M.O. combines web-based software and guided templates to help you solve problems and pick out the materials you need for your specific scenario. Our goal is to help you learn by doing and get real results.

Most template providers give you a list of documents to choose from, but you have to know exactly what you need and what to do with it.

In addition to giving you a plan for your project, our templates are very specific, thorough and guided.

You can print a sample from each of the 29 chapters onto the site – just choose a subject from our map and you’ll see a Flashpaper document that you can enlarge and print.

Please feel free to contact us -- we'll be happy to take you on a live demo and answer your questions.

Return to questions

How did you create these materials?

Thirty-five people from ten companies brought all of their expertise together and built this material over four years.

We’ve been told that it encompasses an entire career’s worth of sales & marketing knowledge, and some of our business partners have told us it sounds too good to be true. And then they got in and used the M.O. and realized that the value was even greater than they had heard.

So we’d like to think that those four years (and the years in the workplace before that time) were well spent!

Return to questions

What does M.O. stand for?

Modus Operandi, a way of doing things consistently!
