Devan: Do you think the search for the perfect consultant will be easier in the future, or harder, with the information "overload" and all the resources out there?

How would I as a consultant in new media, business philosophy, and the good life, market my services in the optimal way? I am getting tired at all the potential customers that have picked my brain for many years, and I want to reach the right customers in the future. I have a pretty relaxed attitude to the situation, and the right ones will find me sooner or later... ;)

Hi Devan,

This can certainly be a challenge. It's not hard to find a business consultant, certainly. But finding one who can really help with your particular business is a whole different story. I would think questions you should be asking are about the kinds of businesses a perspective consultant has helped with in the past. A consultant who specializes in manufacturing will be the wrong choice for an online marketing company, for example. While a consultant who works with small to medium sized businesses of 100 employees or more may be the wrong fit for a solopreneur.
