5 things to consider before you hire a consultant.

Written By Kim Williams

  1. Determine your needs and goals: Before hiring a consultant, it's important to identify the specific problem or area that you need help with, as well as your overall goals for the project. This will help you find a consultant who has the appropriate skills and experience to meet your needs.

  2. Research potential consultants: Once you know what you're looking for, take the time to research potential consultants and compare their qualifications, experience, and rates. Look for consultants who have a proven track record in your industry or with similar projects.

  3. Consider the cost: Consulting services can be expensive, so it's important to carefully consider the cost before making a decision. Make sure you understand the consultant's rate and any additional fees or expenses that may be involved.

  4. Communicate clearly: Clear and effective communication is crucial for a successful consulting project. Before hiring a consultant, make sure you understand their process and approach, and discuss any specific requirements or expectations you may have.

  5. Review their contract: Before signing a contract with a consultant, carefully review the terms and conditions to ensure they align with your needs and expectations. Make sure the contract covers important details such as the scope of the project, the deliverables, and the timeline.

As a child, Kim Williams wanted to be an actor when he grew up. Raised in Myrtle Beach, SC and working in the family business of motel management, he honed his dream by spending much of his early years “acting” as if he were not surrounded by sand fleas, tourists, and aging beach bums. After leaving Myrtle Beach to pursue a BA in religious studies at Wofford College and a Master of Divinity Degree at Southeastern Seminary, Kim Williams spent 15 years as a pastor. He left the pulpit in 1999 and discovered a passion for sales and communication helping people to get what they want, in spite of themselves—which, if you think about it, isn't that big of a career leap. Mr. Williams is a former adjunct faculty member at Queens University and Central Piedmont Community College. Kim has been guest lecturer at Wofford College, Wake Forest University, Forsyth Technical Community College and Elon University. An avid day hiker, author, father, grandfather and serial dog owner – Kim Williams believes that who we are begins with what we believe and what we believe is created by what we do every day.
