What is Business Consulting?
Business consultancy is a service wherein a client seeks the advice of a trusted authority in business to guide the individual, team, or organization toward success.

When is it time to get a business consultant?
Business consultants are usually called upon a startup or corporation needs expert guidance to achieve its goals.
Unfortunately, there is a bottleneck to what they can achieve with their skills and strategies, but having a business consultant in place, can open new perspectives and opportunities they may haven’t thought of for the past years they’ve been doing business.
In an ideal world, an entrepreneur should be able to handle any business challenge that arises. However, reality hits when their skills, experiences, and specialization can only do so much more.
Sometimes, it is best to seek external help – someone who can guide them toward getting the best results for their business rather than wasting time and resources on issues beyond their team’s expertise.

What to Look for When Hiring a Filipino Business Consultant?
While there’s no official way to qualify business consultants, clients look for the following attributes if they’re interested in working with one:
Thought Leadership
Hire a Filipino business consultant who is an industry leader actively sharing knowledge and expertise in various conferences and seminars in the field. Someone who shares his voice with integrity and sincerity speaks of his character of service.
A business consultant who demands high expectations of himself due to his line of educating others can prove his competence.
Citations From Mainstream Media
The best business consultants in the Philippines are the ones who are actively sought by mainstream media, like radio stations and TV shows to share their knowledge with the public.
Their servanthood attitude is easy to spot, as you can see straight from their interviews. It is a good consideration for businesses looking for a consultant, as these media outlets have done enough research before they let a thought leader speak on their show.
High-rating Reviews in Speaking Engagements
What is a greater social proof than the audience who received the knowledge themselves? Seek referrals and recommendations from event organizers and organizations this business consultant has worked with.
They are the testaments of the true expertise and credibility of the person you want to hire for your business. Reviews from them, either positive or negative, can give you insights into what to expect from the business consultant.
Business consultancy engagements must go beyond picking the brain of the consultant. Big corporations employ business consultants to validate their own methods, have someone to critique their current strategies, and offer specific problem-solving analyses to help overcome complex challenges.
SharpRocket, led by Venchito Tampon, helped great brands reach new heights.
Just like you, they’re looking to grow their people.
