Crafting proposals is rarely a consultant's idea of a good time. It gets even tougher when clients fail to convey their expectations through RFPs, leaving consultants to make assumptions. This not only wastes time, effort, (and money) for consultants, but also hinders the alignment between the client’s goals and the potential consulting partners' skills, ultimately jeopardizing the project's success.

But fear not! As a client, you can make life easier for consultants by conducting a brief session. It not only helps them understand your objectives but also allows you to grasp their expertise, approach, and build that all-important personal connection. By taking this small step, you can rest assured of receiving proposals that meet your expectations and showcase the value they bring to your organization.

In our latest episode of "Buy Consulting Services Like a Pro," our amazing host Helene delves into the nitty-gritty of hosting effective briefing and Q&A sessions with potential consulting partners. Tune in for an insightful and information-rich episode that will transform your approach to buying consulting services.

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.
