Dear Visitor:

Hello and welcome. My name is Louis Benton and while I’m sure you don’t know me personally you probably know many of the companies and organizations for whom I have worked. Companies like IBM, Pillsbury, Conoco-Phillips as well as organizations like MIT, the Department of Defense, and the US Navy. I’ve been a management and IT consultant for more than 35 years and have completed projects for dozens upon dozens of companies and organizations — with numerous repeat clients.

Many people have asked me over the years ‘How can they get into consulting?’ Well, to help answer this question, I have put together some important material that condenses much of what I’ve learned over the years into an easy to read yet powerful manual designed to get you started in consulting. Check out the information below and see if this is something you believe will help you on your way.

In this manual you’ll find the tools you need to set your consulting career in high gear. In a minute I’ll show you how you can take stock of your personal situation and find out if consulting is for you and if it is, you’ll have valuable information you need to get started.

 

A six figure income can open up life's possibilities

  • How much can you make? My manual tells you and gives you other important information you need to know before launching your own practice. Six figures is not unusual, in fact, it’s the norm. I’ll give you some revealing numbers.
  • What do you want? To finally get the credit card companies off your back? Would you like to be in a profession with prestige. It’s up to you. If you are considering consulting, then it’s absolutely essential you work through the ‘Six Steps’ I present in this manual. I’ve included worksheets to help you complete your own self evaluation — you’ll find these no where else.
  • Consulting is not for everyone, so don’t go any farther until you’ve completed the steps in this manual. Too often people jump into something before they’re prepared.  Mistakes can be costly. There are lots of great books on how to be a consultant, but my manual show’s you if it’s right for you . . . And if it is, I’ll give you the steps you need to take to get you started.

 

The possibilities are "mind boggling"

Opportunities are everywhere. The market is crying for consultants, but like most things there is a right way and a wrong way to go about it. Don’t blow your chances by being unprepared.

 

Written by a pro who has been through it all

What I am offering here is a unique, one of a kind, practical guide designed for the person who has always thought about being a consultant but didn’t know quite how to go about it. I decided to write this manual because of the experiences I had 35 years ago trying to get my own consulting practice started. It wasn’t easy but I did it and along the way learned lots of lessons. Now I’ve organized those and are making them available to you in this easy to use manual. I have spent time with presidents of billion dollar companies, discussing their future. And, I have worked with managers, VP’s, dock hands, production line workers and others in cities coast to coast and overseas.

You get 35 years of experience behind this powerful manual, all for a very nominal cost, and it is especially designed to help you take those important first steps.

 

The three most important actions you need to take to help insure success

They’re in the manual. I call them ‘Consulting Success Keys’ and I’ll talk about these in length. Then, if you decide consulting is for you, just knowing these three key factors will put you far ahead of your competition. If you decide to start a consulting practice then you’ll want to immediately start working on these three key actions. You’ll find the first one on page 20.

 

You need to know where to start

  • Don’t jump into the middle of something until you’ve thought about it and carefully laid your plans.  That’s where my manual comes in. It gives you the essential information you need to help decide if consulting is for you.
  • This 60+ page classic is chock full of specific steps you need to take, along with lots of key consulting wisdom for evaluating your situation. This important document is designed to give you the kind of information you need before you go forward.

 

I'll start you at the beginning

Our step by step approach is a ‘must do’ for anyone considering entering this lucrative field. I'll guide you through the essentials to give you the best shot at success.

 

The essential six steps

 

Would you like to take control of your life?. Are you tired of the daily grind? Working for yourself may be the answer. But don’t go it alone. My manual leads you through six critical steps you must take to plan your career . . . plus I give you one extra activity you should complete if it looks like you need outside financing. This seventh step is just icing on the cake.

  • You’ll find worksheets designed to guide you through the evaluations
  • There are lists and descriptions of important attributes and characteristics
  • You get these along with key components to proposals, work plans, and marketing strategies.  There’s even a sample invoice.
WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:
Concise and to the point. A ‘must read’ for anyone considering consulting as a career. — JH, Kansas

 

 

Everything is designed to methodically lead you through the planning process

You’ll learn, for example, the one critically important key ingredient of every successful consulting practice.  Master this one key skill and you are more than 50% there. We’ll discuss it in length. You’ll find out about this valuable skill starting on page 33.

You’ll get tips on setting your billing rate, and what financial analysis you absolutely need to have down pat before launching a practice.

 

What the pro's know

We’ll disclose the four essential legs of the ‘consulting platform’ . . . these are the four things that you must be able to do well to succeed.  These are what the pro’s focus on. If you asked them, they might tell you, but you can get it straight from someone with a lifetime of consulting experience to back it up. It’s all in the manual.  Do these four things right and you are well on your way. These four ‘legs’ pull it all together and serve as the support for a successful practice.

 

Thirty-five years ago, nothing like this existed

Thirty-five years ago I was laid off and out of work. “I had to start from scratch, without the kind of help you can find here. In the manual I tell you what I went through and what it took to build my consulting practice. I would have paid hundreds for the information crammed into this manual, had it been available. Now you can get it all for about the cost of a decent meal.

The truth of the matter is that starting a practice is difficult. You need to gather information from as many sources and mentors as possible. Start with our manual and lay a solid foundation…then, build on what you’ve learned.”

 

What skills do you have that can be marketed?

 

You may have hidden talents that you never considered as anything more than a personal interest. Perhaps a hobby or lifelong avocation — something you’re good at . . . planning social events, public speaking, organizing charity events, or any of hundreds of specialties or niche skills. Or, maybe there’s some job you’ve done for years for an employer. How do you pin down that single most valuable skill that can be offered as a consulting service, and then, how do you market it? I’ll show you how and then I’ll show you what to do next.

WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING:

I wouldn't even think about starting without the help from this professional.

There's no risk

That’s right. I’m so sure you’ll find the information I’ve gathered together in this handy ebook so compelling and valuable that I’ll make the following promise. If after ninety days you don’t believe the material is worth the price, then we’ll give you a full refund, no questions asked. Just read the material, take the time to seriously consider the information presented, and work through the exercises. There’s no risk. You have nothing to lose and plenty to gain.

 

Thirty-five years in the making

This is not the stuff you get from academics who have spent their entire lives in classrooms. I’ve spent more than 35 years slogging across the country and around the world consulting to companies from Fortune 500 giants to small operations. But I have always wanted to put together some material to help others seeking to follow a similar path. I believe I have done that with this manual. This is knowledge that has been hard won and that you simply won’t find anywhere else.
