In today's episode of our podcast series, "How to buy consulting services like a pro", we'll embark on a quest to decode Consulting DNA. So, why is it important to consider Consulting DNA in your Request for Proposal (RFP)?

Just like DNA carries the genetic information that shapes who we are, Consulting DNA encompasses the specific traits and qualities you seek in a consultant. By clearly defining your Consulting DNA, you paint a vivid picture of the consultant you're seeking.

Do you require someone with ninja-like problem-solving skills? Or perhaps a master communicator who can effortlessly navigate the complexities of your industry? Specify it in your RFP, and let the universe (and consultants) know what you're after.

So, take some time to create your consulting DNA profile and find your match made in consulting heaven - it's like online dating, but for your business! And in this episode, Helene shows you the key points to consider when defining the DNA of your perfect consultant.

The RFP (Request for Proposal) is crucial in finding the right consultant and achieving your objectives. Unfortunately, many businesses don't place enough importance on this aspect or take the time to improve their RFP-writing process.  

However, a well-crafted RFP can make the difference between the success and failure of a consulting project. To buy better, you need first to understand the nuances of RFP writing, and hence we launched this podcast series, "How to buy consulting services like a pro." In this episode, Helene explains how a successful RFP depends on being specific about scope, deliverables, timing, and budget as the core components of your RFP.

She also discusses the significance of clearly stating the problem statement and project objectives, striking a balance between specificity and openness, setting the project's direction and communicating expected deliverables without being too prescriptive.

We were blown away by the amazing response to our women's day special podcast! And you know what? We're not done celebrating all the incredible women out there just yet. So, we've decided to keep the momentum going by continuing the series. And, Today's episode is going to be a real treat! We've got Carmella Long, a procurement veteran who's going to give us the inside scoop on her journey through the procurement world. And let me tell you, she's got some serious street cred.

With over 30 years of experience in procurement and supply chain, Carmella's worked in some of the toughest industries out there, from oil and gas to petrochemicals and even environmental. She's seen it all, folks.

But what really sets Carmella apart is her unique perspective. Having worked in a technical sales role for five years, she's seen the procurement world from the other side of the table. And let me tell you, it's an eye-opener. Carmella realized that as a supplier, her interests aligned with those of the procurement team - both just want to help the company achieve better performance. It's like procurement is just a mirror image of sales.

Now, let's talk about the challenges. Carmella started her career in an overly male-dominated arena, which wasn't easy. But with the help of some amazing female colleagues (not even from procurement!), she was able to thrive in her role. let's just say, she's come a long way since then.

So, if you want to hear all about Carmella's journey and how she navigated the challenging path to get where she is today, you do not want to miss this episode! Tune in now!
