Gold Coast – Brisbane Business Consultants
Gold Coast Business Consultants and Brisbane Business Consultants. How to choose the best consultant for your business.
Here are some important questions to ask when considering choosing a business consultant on the Gold Coast.
How much does a small business consultant charge?
This is really the wrong question to ask when you are wanting to find the best business consultant for you.
As a general rule, you will find a lot of business consultants in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast charge an hourly rate between $75.00 and $150.00.
But I warn you, if they are charging you by the hour it is your first warning sign as to their skill set.
A good business consultant should be paid for the outcome and the value they deliver, not how cheaply they can offer advice.
I would urge you to see if the business consultant is willing to tie their rewards to the results that they help you achieve in your business.
So ask them if they are willing to charge you a small retainer. They can have the bulk of their rewards from the results you achieve.
Streetsmart Business Consulting Tip #1 :
Only select a business consultant that is happy to attach at least 30% of their retainer to the outcome.
Are business consultants worth the money?
If you have never used a business consultant before the chances are you are worried if business consultants are worth the money.
And the answer is absolutely YES, they are worth the money if you choose a good business consultant.
The bottom line is the old 80/20 rule applies here.
Even if the business consultant does not have a lot of skills, one of the huge benefits of having one is that you are held accountable.
They can help you keep on track for the goals you commitments you make to yourself.
This simple benefit can achieve massive results for business owners.
Quite often, being the owner of leader of the business, you have no one that holds you accountable to the progress that you would like to achieve.
Do You Remember Rocky the Movie?
So, much like Rocky when he had his trainer in his corner “Mickey”, Rocky did not have a yes man making him feel good.
Mickey held Rocky accountable and pushed him to his limits so that he could achieve his true potential.
Using a business consultant can be much like that.
But, if you choose a good business consultant, they can help compress decades of learning into weeks or months.
You will fast track the results in your business.

Yes, actually get a 1000% improvement in their results simply because we have developed some skills and systems that not many business consultants on the Gold coast are aware of.
The bottom line is that within 120 days your business consultant should be making you money, not costing you money.
That is why we guarantee results for our clients. We believe that more money should be coming in, not going out.
So when you choose your business consultant, whether they are on the Gold Coast or in Brisbane one of your Million Dollar Questions should be is “Do you Guarantee Results?”
If the business consultant runs for the hills then you obviously should strike them off your list.

Streetsmart Business Consulting Tip #2:
Only use a business consultant that is willing to guarantee you results.
- You ask for a price increase and they give it to you.
- You sack your builder immediately. (And that meant about $4million in sales)
- You close up shop, pack up your bags, because you will be broke in 60 days.
Luckily he took my advice, the builder refused to give him an increase and they stopped working for them.
I then created a residential marketing system for their business and their profits took off.
Ironically, about 6 months later the builder asked them if they could please come back, and they paid the increased rate.
So the moral to the story is, business consultants on the Gold Coast and in Brisbane MUST know the lay of the land. They need to determine if you need help with increasing your leads, or perhaps you need to improve your sales conversions first.
They then look at your profitability and systems. And most importantly your human resources.
When they have all the information, only then do they start creating a plan and helping you work out the priorities.
Streetsmart Business Consulting Tip #3:
If a business consultant starts spitting out strategies and tactics before they have all the facts look out. You MUST have gained all the fundamental knowledge about a business before providing solutions. Many business consultants are more worried about their EGO and looking good rather than being good.
