It is not easy to choose the best - the highest quality and ideally the "cheapest" - consulting or training company among the dozens of existing and emerging providers on the market. Šárka Pojerová, Business Development Director and Consultant of SHINE Consulting, therefore offers practical tips to follow. Try to ask the following questions:
- What differentiates the particular consulting/training company? Focus on its value systems as well as product quality.
- How long has the provider been in the market? What does the real history of the company involve? Focus on the references and the provider's reputation in the industry.
- To what extent can the company meet your specific needs? Focus on whether the provider has enough time and interest to devote its full attention and focus to you, what he promises and what he commits to do.
- Can the provider show you current references and case studies related to a given product including information on the team or the consultant being offered to you?
- Is the provider reliable and flexible for change? Does he take responsibility for his suggestions and thus also for the results? Focus on the contract.
- How does the provider's internal corporate culture look like? Focus on what they preach versus what they live.
