The consultants industry is getting disrupted and in a good way. If you are a consultant, you will earn more. If you are an expert with knowledge that others want, you can get paid for sharing.
The management consultation is a very traditional industry. Big firms like McKinsey, Accenture, Bain provides advice to businesses in many industries and they are paid very well for their services.
Other than these traditional management consultancies, nowadays there are also IT consulting firms, advisory branches of auditing companies (like KPMG Advisory) and consulting arms of tech companies (like IBM).
Giving advice is big business.
But most consulting happens in a face to face setting where a team of consultants appear in your office to provide the analysis and advice to you and your business.
However phone consultations have become increasingly popular as businesses or individuals have come to realize that they may not need a long sit down session each time. They may just need quick advice for a particular issue they are facing at that moment.
Or the consultant they want advice from may not be in the country at that moment and will not be able to meet. But he or she is able to schedule a call.
Giving advice over phone or video call is big business as well.
But How Can I Charge My Clients After a Call?
It is not without challenges for consultants to charge their clients for phone and video calls. Consultants will invoice they firm or individual that they have given advice to and wait for the cheque or wire transfer to be made.
This is a long process. If you are working for the a consulting firm, this does not feel awkward as you are paid a monthly salary anyway. The firm will handle the backend.
If you are an individual consultant working for yourself, you will understand the challenges of payment processing. And often you will be hiring a staff to manage this invoicing and collection of payment for you. Or you could be relying on a third party service to handle payments for you.
