If you were to ask me what is the one common marketing error most professional services firms make, I would not hesitate to say, “They fall in love with their ‘solutions’.” By that I mean they make their internal P&L structure their market face and become proverbial hammers looking for nails to pound.

They were frantically trying to find one on their phones, sorting through thousands of photos. My response was: “Have her take a picture of him in his uniform.”. We all move too fast sometimes and miss the obvious answer.

If you think consulting is rocket science, allow me to disabuse you of that notion. A couple of weeks ago, in talking to a client on other matters, I learned that his top sales commission for his people was 15%. That meant that if you produced a million in business, you received $150,000 over the course of its delivery. That’s not a high incentive approach in my opinion.
