I've watched several videos on consulting, and this is the best, most straight forward one I've seen. Unlike your video, most videos have the "ask" at the end of them, without providing any real actionable tasks for the viewer to do. Excellent video.
Absolutely. I TOTALLY AGREE
Couldn't agree more
This video fits right into the golden circle by Simon sinek....do checkout my channel...I am also trying to make similar content
Cheers

0:37 "Look at your browser history"
No, no, no, no, no ... no...no, no
I was having a thought three days ago about that... I am used to people asking me for advice on many topics that I am interested in. And I always give it for free, and they are happy with the outcome. This video was pure luck to be in my recommended because I haven't searched for anything even remotely close to consulting. So after watching it, honestly I am blown away by the things Mr Suby talked about! I have all of that coming to me naturally on daily basis. It is time for me to follow my guts here. Thank you, sir!
Happy to hear our video helped!

My passion is more toward talking with people about communication styles and technology. I have been a software developer for 20+ years and love to help people understand better. It is so cool when they have that 'Ah ha' moment.
Goood luck and I hope you will succeed
Just well done! I often also thought about starting a business, but it's very scary that it won't work. A good push is needed.
Awesome, Glad you like it!

Glad to hear it! Thank you so much.
Solid advice
Great video - straight to the point. I've been consulting now for 6 years, I have had several clients that are truly satisfied and yes, I charge a fee. The only thing I didn't do was set up a website. I did a lot of 'grunt' work already. I already have the foundation now I need to build on it.
May I ask any advice from your prospective on how to do find clients?
Great advice for someone like me who has just
started my own consultancy business.
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent advice. Thank you so much

Thank YOU! Glad you enjoyed it.
Not a minute in and already agreed 100%
We love to hear it!
Loved your video great info. I’m going into the same industry. As a person that Learned how to open and operate a business by doing it myself I’m able to provide the same knowledge for people that want to start their own business and avoid the pitfalls avoid scamming. Because believe me if these people that are out there to scam you they know when the person is starting the business and that’s when they’ll take a vantage of you so that’s where I come in and I help them avoid those so-called pitfalls.
Glad you enjoyed the video & keep up the great work!
Is your company taking data-driven decisions?
I would like to become a Business Consultant specialising in Mega Degree services kindly suggest a suitable platform for persuing my ambition
And what about the legal side of it? Do you need a contract signed before you start the consultation? Any insurance for potential lawsuits?
Definitely very helpful
Glad you got some value out of it!
When you speak of groups on Facebook, can someone give me an idea of what groups to search for
amazing
It was an interesting experiment. I didn't know that the buyer could be so influenced. Thank you for the video
Thanks for watching!
Hi, I just finished watch this video and founded this are the most important advice specially for me in starting my own consulting business, I have background in Finances ( personal and corporate ) proven by 8 years experiences working as finance controller and business advisor in large multinational firm, but after watching this video I realized there are so many steps I need to improve on my perspective about the income or breakevenpoint.
related to your point in this video it's mentioned about join social media group, does it means I need to Create new social media account ?
thank you so much

*Stating and growing a consulting business is simple but not easy, it takes some trial and error to iterate and improve- refine your message so you can get new clients easier and easier and scale once you have proof of concept*
Agreed! Thanks for watching.
Am passionate about Marketing / PR. What is the best type of consulting to consider.
I often hear that in order to win tenders and contracts as a consultating company, you need to have a company profile. A company profile consists of projects you did, testimonials from clients, etc. My question is, how do you create that company profile if you're starting from scratch?
This is where you lean on your work experience. IE Co's/clients you have worked for/with. furthermore, mention those co's clients/customers. Dont need to get into details, just mentioning names of businesses you have worked with/for and/or have associated with. confidence in communication is a must have. @davySTUN
Do you suggest to register a consulting firm business (sole proprietor), or still wait for business partner then start it?
Don't overthink bro. Just start. Once you're making money let's think about that. Overthinking kills progress
Just get started. I went sole proprietor for my first year then incorporated.
When will this course be out? I'm on the waiting list and can't wait longer
Hey Vipul, Zack here from the Foundr team. Glad to hear you're excited about joining Sabri's Consulting Empire course! We'll be opening the doors in a couple weeks, and you'll be the first to know :)
@@ZackKinslow Hi Zack, I am eager to start this course. Please let me know as soon as possible! Thank you
@@vipulkerai2547 Hey Vipul, so glad and admire your eagerness in learning, kudos to you mate. I'm from the Foundr team, and we are launching soon on Nov 12th, 2018! Hope to see you in the course 🙂
And once you get more leads than you can handle? Hire people?
@@Juan-ws9sy if you built qualification into your funnel then yes
Sir... Please tell if the consultancy business has any future on wards? If yes, then please teach... how can it survive?
ZMI SOLUTIONZ Hey, Do you have any specific forecast problems? Share I see, if I can help.
how we can know which platform to start with? is facebook is common in all countries?
Facebook is widely used, however to find what works in your country- you may have to do a custom google search! :)
Nice
What do you do when you have knowledge and expertise on several topics?
I'm not sure what groups I should go to, I don't use Facebook a lot.
Search key words on Facebook Group search.
That’s Focking right ;)
SOLID!
If you provide free advise on start , doing it second time for the same guy and asking now for 5k let's say for advise will be hard. Even if he did get first time results he will try to bargain price and that mean customer is leading our sale now. I think we want to give him something free like this videos or free join in webinar on start.
Once come to actualy taking time to seat down and do our work where we spend time with person I want to have it paid for...what you think ? Thanks for video I really like it
I agree. I always advice to charge, and charge appropriate for the desire you are helping them achieve. Not for your time.
The people who want discounts and free work always end up not being the type of clients we usually enjoy working with.
If you start by finding WHO you want to help, then you ask those people what they are struggling with, you can craft an offer that will speak directly to them, and get them to want to hop on the phone with you. Then you close the call, if it turns out that you can help them for sure. When we take people through this process, you don’t need prior results.
Because none of it is about you.
Even when we are on the call, we are diagnosing their problem, not talking about our achievements..
Even if you don’t know how to get that specific result they want yet, you can research it, learn it, then deliver. This is easy to do when you are focusing on 1 type of client with a specific problem.
@@roncarter6818 perfectly said 100% agree with this
It’s a good and useful video, but the background music is so annoying
Thanks for the feedback- we'll take this on board! Glad you liked the content. 💯
your idea is good. please follow the link ---
I'm running a multi six-figure consulting business and I have to say this is great advice for anyone starting out in Consulting. Well done!
That’s great to hear. That’s all we can ask for!
Nice Dude
I got a question please since you are already a successful consultant..
How can I find my nich?
What am passionate about is helping someone make their ideas into a reality; basically building business from scratch..
And also I love to give advices to business owners of any industry about how to run their business towards success providing advices on operation, branding, marketing, even scaling and new product or enhance service, etc.
So what's my nich here?
Also I don't have a business degree nor ever started a business but I know I can cause my advices to business owners were like ' oh, aha, ah' kinda affect and these ppl studied the subject.. so I know I have it in me..
Your answer would really help, I hope you do see this and answer me..
Good day..
Bro, my passion is more like my hobbies, running music, etc. My browsing history is porn and random stuff(tho interesting stuff but very random). But I think of consulting as helping people solve problems using data and insights not visible from the naked eye. Is that a good motivation to start? Tho I would choose a field I find interesting and opportunistic but not exactly in my passion.
Charlie puth?
Is he Australian?
Yes! We're Australian based.
Who r u? How big is the consulting company you created?
