Ntare Small Business MANAGEMENT, what to expect

The decision to bring in a business consultant is a big one. And a brave one. It typically means that, despite your blood, sweat, and tears, things aren’t going as hoped or expected, which is not abnormal. After all, the statistics from the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ Business Employment Dynamics show that only about 30% of small businesses will make it through their tenth year (data as of March, 2016).

Choosing the Best Ntare Small Business Consulting

Whether yours is a fledgling business or an established one, a qualified business consultant can be just what you need to tighten up your processes, improve company culture, boost sales, train leadership or employees, and boost your bottom line.

But realistically, what should you expect when you enlist the help of a business consultant? Here are eight things a consultant should have/do:

1. Experience in Your Industry.

Different small business consulting firms have different strengths. When you are shopping for a consultant, be sure to choose one that has in-depth knowledge of what you do and the specific challenges you are facing in your niche. Ntare Consulting specializes in accounting and finance, full-service management and a hybrid segment that combines the aforementioned services.

2. Knowledge of Your Business.

Beyond a working knowledge of your industry, the business consultant you hire should know your business inside and out. This is often done through informal discussion and oftentimes various assessments. Ntare Consulting will analyze the results of assessments and be able to provide you with a list of strengths and areas of weakness to target for growth.

3. Passion.

Make sure the consultant you select is as passionate about your business as you are. Don’t accept being considered just “another“ client or business. Expect your consultant to be as enthusiastic about your mission as you are. We always try to gauge how much value we can add to your business and will be frank about what we can and cannot offer. Ntare is built on the fundamental principles of transparency, accuracy and customer service

4. Bring out Your Leadership Skills.

Your business consultant should bring out the best in your leadership skills. A talented consultant will not simply tell you what to do but will guide you to make the best decisions using your personal strengths combined with his or her expertise. We try to sense when it is time to offer encouragement or lead you to a better result through a series of questions and statements.

5. A Strategic Plan.

Based on your input, assessment, and other observations, Ntare Consulting will be able to develop and present a plan of action to help improve your business. Measurable, concrete goals should be included to help monitor improvement.

6. Effective Training.

Regardless of the issues causing your business to under perform, your business consultant should provide effective training programs to meet your needs. This may include the following:

·         leadership development

·         sales training

·         time management and productivity training

·         management development

·         staff development

·         organizational leadership development

·         communication skills training

·         hiring / employment screening / employee retention

·         and other types of targeted training.

7. Holds You Accountable.

Expect us to hold you accountable for keeping your commitments and responsibilities. Everyone needs someone to hold them accountable. Any worthy consultant who sees you skipping promises, commitments or tasks should tactfully have a crucial conversation with you. We have politely declined to renew contracts with clients that do not exhibit the passion to keep up with their business. In our hybrid program, we are always on the lookout for investment opportunities and will be ready to seek equity in your firm if you wish to do so.

8. Measurable Results

We are be able to produce measurable, positive results based on their goals for the business. While no one should expect overnight success, it should be clear that you are headed in the right direction. Ntare Consulting will always inform you of the progress we are making based on the agreement we come to after our consultation period. We make sure to let you exactly where we believe your growth is and where we will be able to help.
