Patrick, You are amazing, I want to thank You for sharing these experiences and knowledge. Greetings from Europe, Croatia.

[@lifetimedoji]

I was the consultant who took Patrick to task (a little) over his comments the last time he ranted on consultants. I like this list and think it could have a dual purpose, if the prospective client would be willing to explore these questions and answer as if I was asking them. Look, if both parties throw all their cards on the table at the same time, are open and honest, then you get a better basis to work from. As for not wavering on price (his last point), here's the key...know what you want and be able to tell the consultant what that is. Give him/her a legit target and they should be able to give you a solid price. You don't change, I don't change. Congrats on a good video, Patrick.

[@jimh6233]

I agree this is a good video about consultants and valid questions to ask. The only point I take slight exception on or maybe find humorous .... clients would often ask for the best price and then when the other 2 bids possibly come in lower ... they typically ask for the price to be matched or beat without understanding scope, experience or quality differences... but I have to admit the decision-makers in these cases were usually not the CEO. Often we would walk from those opportunities ... and a lot of times we were back when the project failed.

I'm a CPA and entrepreneur. Real interesting to be able to look at from both sides

[@mansooralzayer4181]

John Duston Hey John - I’m looking for a CPA. Where are you located and how may I get a hold of you?

[@kenardandrade]

Dude... way better than my business university classes 😒

[@EZStudRack]

Thanks Patrick. I am in the middle of a $250K deal and you brought up some points I didn’t think about.🙏🏽

[@kai_wong_cn]

Excellent advice. I use the exact 10 tips to hire employees and I always have the highest performing team for the business.

[@WebMedics]

*pre-question* : ask yourself _“what do you want”_ 1. What made you an expert in your field? 2. Why did you become a consultant? 3. What is your experience with a similar company? 4. What is your most successful client? (ask if you can call the client) 5. What’s a project where you failed? As always with Mr PBD, there is always more detail than that, would you like me to put more detail in to this summary?

[@kristijanmatic9267]

Pure gold, thanks Pat 💙💪🏻

[@tarunmakhija22]

MAANNN! I sail in a boat just like yours Patrick, only smaller. have made my share of expensive mistakes hiring consultants. Every point you shared is, like always, precise, transparent, absolutely fair, and bang on the bullseye! You sir, are consistently, openly, saying things in your content, that others like to keep under hush hush. And the best part is, none of the pointers in this video are intimidating or condescending in nature. they're absolutely fair and practical. The experiences you shared in these 10 points, i have gone through 5 of them personally, needless to say have lost more money than i'd like to mention. Thank you!

[@nishantmanunahi]

I am so amazed by the kind of focus you put in your company after making any mistake so that it doesn't get repeated in the future. What I can say for sure is that you have saved so much money, time & frustrations that people go through when they make mistakes in this area (if they take this stuff seriously). Thank you so much, Sir, This is pure gold.

[@Xergecuz]

I'm a lawyer and an accountant, once in a while I get clients like you Pat, 90% of the time I don't take them, because I know they will be up in your nose all the way, even if they don't understand what you're doing, they will send you daily emails, go to your office or expect you to go to theirs, as if I didn't have my own business to run, then spend an hour talking nonsense about themselves, and then when the job is done, it's a pain for them to finally pay up what was agreed (not to mention they try to lowball you all the way to the end), then you go silent, stop answering emails or calls. 20% of clients will give you 80% of your trouble, it took me years to learn this, but just drop that 20%, with time I learned to identify them.

[@steffjb777]

Awesome content and very helpful tips in order to prepare for consulting project interviews. Thanks.

How not be scammed when hiring expensive consultants

[@the_reel_uh_tour]

[@gutenh.4570]

Very few consultants can keep up with your questions for real!! Many can say: "keep your company's problems, I will work with someone else!"

[@aghiadf]

Pat, you make it harder than it however, it is true the way of how to deal with outside consultants Thanks man

[@businessandpoliticsinswede3138]

Thanks

[@dailyobservant]

Right on spot, Technology Consultants are really not sure about the cost structure or even position offering to new consultant. It's a pleasure to view your video when recently I got an interview with a consultant firm from Denmark. Topic is project about insurance business in U.K. and taxes in Health Care business in Denmark. Shaky business!

[@dailyobservant]

Since you like to highlight my comment this much, why not write a bit more about the cause. Technology is actually a book that is constantly updated (changes) with new content by users or stakeholders from any business - technology - society. Programmer wraps programming language around natural language to display bits to form symbols on screen. The chronic issue lies in data types, there are 8 primary data types stored in whatever names that client, tech editor, chief editor, and related professions would like to name things that way. This increases learning curve as a way to increase entry barrier to any one, experts included. Compatibility across system architecture is not all you want. One person with all the knowledge and skill about that ecosystem of yours is rare to find. You lost millions. It's common. There is a story about IBM and New York Billing System with the cost increased 5x from estimated cost $200Mn and then the second contractor took the project and cost grown 7x. Project runs over deadline is common. You do need a documenter to track the whole development. As you mentioned, a team from a-z.

Thank you very much pbd. You are really making a difference in this world. You are really creating an army of business leaders .The stuff you teach us is far more better and rewarding than what we would get from MBA degree from Harvard or Stanford.Thanks a lot sir.

[@JFCotman]

#6 gives me the most success with advisors, namely, holding them accountable for the financial gains or losses from their advice. I want their counsel to go on record as coming from them so we can track the results of its application and penalize or promote them accordingly.

[@eduncdam]

You Rock!

[@anayakapoor4099]

Thank you Patrick may God bless you and your family with all success and happiness 😊 thank you 🙏

[@troythompson2]

This is right on time Pat. The IT Industry especially is plagued by this. Every consultant should be prepared to answer these questions. Transparency is everything!

Pat! Loved this video! Can you do more videos on different type of negotiations with scenarios for different Industry professionals :)

[@fredricklee]

Great questions for anyone to learn. Unfortunately, I have been involved in auditing entities that hire lawyers and consultants and you will be surprised how much waste of time and money is spent on the bad apples. Prolonged projects and services that cost the business, nonprofits, and government more money than it was to solve the problem. For my personal businesses, I will use these as guide for receiving and delivering services. Thanks again.

[@lukeguy7735]

[@globalbusinessconnector3810]

Mr. PBD, as an entrepreneur and passionate about entrepreneurial and personal development, I have to applaud you for what you unselfishly share with aspiring entrepreneurs. I have been engage in countless virtual coaching and this is by far the best channel for entrepreneurs, whether a start up, SMME or even corporate. You surely are one person in this industry who is so in alignment with your purpose, (You have a video on this) it is a great honour to share your content with my network. The one thing I admire of you and your content is not only the "What To" do, you clearly explain the "How To" with simple implementable steps, which I have realised is the biggest challenge entrepreneurs face out there. Bless you, your Family and your team. #TheGodfatherOfNetworking #TheGlobalConnector🇿🇦🌍 Ps: Would love to have you come to South Africa some time.

[@leafm1181]

love it dude here's the thing you're talking about premium firms they pretty much name their price if I'm not mistaken

[@leonoradompor8706]

The greatest consultant is not pro wars but pro-life !

[@leonoradompor8706]

The greatest consultant is not greedy !

[@Scubadeer28]

Great video! I just want to add that for most "small businesses" these questions are almost luxuries when you consider the cost of a single hour with these people. If I'm spending X amount of money on that hour how much can I sacrifice listening to this person's stories? A small company with limited resources needs to find a way to answer these questions BEFORE the consultation...

Would it be advisable to do this to via email to allot of companies to waste less time?

I would also use this method to find a partner for a romantic relationship, but if I told people that it's a similar process they would have a heart attack, they would say "you can't relate a relationship to a business decision" lol

[@jchsheishfjsk5052]

I customize shoes for living and planning it to be a company and a product, I recently met a consultant that proposed a free service. He said that he will provide website, marketing, it team,. These question would be great. He proposed that for the first two years the service would be free but his team and himself will take 40% cut withe every sale is that a good deal? All I do is accept orders and paint them the rest is theirs

[@craigscott2315]

I don't view honesty so much as a trust or credability issue. more so advising others what they need to be awear of for contingencies to be considered.

[@RKO1988]

These are fair criticisms but as a person that's worked in consulting -- many of these firms have high turnover and employees leave, get a raise and move to another firm - since every project is different and when firms fail to land meaningful projects - people leave and get frustrated. It isn't as cut and dry as "X Person was Bad that's why they keep changing firms" many times consultants are put in roles where there aren't doing actual consulting but doing the actual job that the company can't fulfill (staff augmentation). Many advisory practices are simply bodyshops -- someone lands a project and "consultants" are just there to do the monkey work.

[@MommaKnowsBestest]

You will pay whatever the best demands.

[@TonyMoze]

I know consultants are entrepreneurs, too, but one forgets that you gotta treat them as employees of yours and interview them....hard.

[@dylankrugerthesalessleuthp5787]

Itll be interesting if you can do a clip on how to be a consultant and NOT become one of those "horror stories". Because as a consultant, I dont want to be a horror story haha

[@elizabethvelez1604]

Hello my name is Elizabeth. I was recently being stalked by a frogger. I used to live in apartment complex and I lived there for four and a half years always lived on my own will accept the first year I lived with my daughter and she was on the lease but I took her off the lease a couple of years ago 3 years to be exact because she no longer lived with me. However since I was being stopped by a frogger he broke into my apartment shortly thereafter so that I knew for certain that I was being stopped. The apartment complex manager had so much anger towards me that she didn't even want to hear me or help me out. I call the cops and I told him that someone broke into my apartment and he went and checked it out but before that he went to the leasing office to see what the lease enough is have to say if I even lived there. And the leasing office told him yeah she lives there I mean they know I live there the ex manager assistant lived right underneath me. Anyways at least in office told the officer that if they have items there the person that broke in to my torn up door if they have any items there they're considered a tenant. So when the officer went there to investigate he found out that the frogger have brought some items with him and didn't kick him out for some reason I'm assuming because of what the leasing office said. Because I went by the leasing office and the property manager told me that if that person that's in my apartment has one sock one piece of paper that belongs to them they're automatically a resident that I had accepted them to move in. That's a lie cuz I don't even know that person. And now the lease enough is trying to evict me although I have not live there not even for one second since that incident happened and bring all these charges against me. I had told the manager from the very beginning that I did not know that person that broke into my apartment, and she's still accused to me of moving in that frogger. " WHAT IN THE WORLD"? I have been looking for an attorney that's specializes in my experience and it's been so difficult to get things done without an attorney to represent me. Basically I'm just asking for advice on what to do in this situation 🤷?

[@godschild7366]

You are a good man.... One day I wish to also be as amazing as you.... You see I don't want to just make alot of money for pleasure... I want to make enough money to change this world for the better and leave a legacy... I can't solve the worlds problems if I get stuck with a 9 to 5 job for the rest of my life
