<![CDATA[Michael, why wasn't this your first post? We are on<br />
the same page.  I'm posting a lot of advice a<br />
CEO or owner or Manager can do for himself.<br />
<br />
I have also seen consultants who have absolutely<br />
no clue giving the worst possible advice, and<br />
certainly have, in your words...<br />
---seen a successful business<br />
 raped by consultants---<br />
<br />
One company had it happen when their 'legacy'<br />
system was replaced by idiots who didn't <br />
realise that twenty years worth of work would<br />
be lost and that the 120 Bit encryption would<br />
be replaced by the wonderful Windows 2000.<br />
(Here's a barf bag).<br />
<br />
I walked in on another just before it tanked<br />
to learn that a new hierarchial 'system' had <br />
been put in place which was so cumbersome <br />
it ended productivity.<br />
<br />
My view is that you get a consultant when you<br />
can't figure out what is wrong, and then do<br />
the checks.<br />
<br />
This is why I called the CEO to the Lobby so<br />
he could see for himself that it was the<br />
telephonic protocols which lost clients.<br />
<br />
I never present a report in a sterile atmosphere.<br />
I always show my client what I am seeing.<br />
If that means taking videos on my cell, <br />
or taping the entire process from<br />
entry to exit, that is what it means.<br />
<br />
I'm trying my best to demystify the entire<br />
consultancy aspect of business.<br />
<br />
And will, with your provocation, write exactly<br />
what you've indicated, how some consultants<br />
can rape a business. Thanks.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FBusiness%2FLosing-Business-At-Entry.53138%23comment61094"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FBusiness%2FLosing-Business-At-Entry.53138%23comment61094" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[You are an idiot...as most consultants are...it was probably you or some other other over paid clown who told xyz that they only needed one person on reception and that all telephone calls should be answered within 3 rings.<br />
<br />
The company didn't loose business because of a minimum wage employee.....she/he isn't paid to think...they lost business because of gormless overpaid people like you.<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FBusiness%2FLosing-Business-At-Entry.53138%23comment60428"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FBusiness%2FLosing-Business-At-Entry.53138%23comment60428" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<![CDATA[Why would you blatantly use a name such as Keisha?  That is a complete slap in the face to African Americans, who , by the way, wouldn't qualify for such a high profile job!!!  This article is racist!!<a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FBusiness%2FLosing-Business-At-Entry.53138%23comment52988"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bizcovering.com%2FBusiness%2FLosing-Business-At-Entry.53138%23comment52988" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
