The Consulting Business Reality
Consulting is fundamentally a leverage business. Consultants sell expertise accumulated over years, packaged into engagements that solve specific client problems. The economics only work when consultants can charge rates that reflect this expertise while maintaining high utilization. A consultant billing 70% of available hours at premium rates can build a sustainable practice; one billing 40% cannot, regardless of their hourly rate.
Client relationships in consulting follow predictable patterns. Initial engagements often start with discovery or assessment projects that establish credibility. Successful delivery leads to implementation work, ongoing advisory retainers, or referrals to other parts of the organization. Tracking which engagement types lead to follow-on work helps consultants focus their business development efforts.
The proposal process consumes significant unbillable time that many consultants underestimate. From initial conversations through scope definition, pricing, and negotiation, a typical consulting proposal represents 20-40 hours of work. Win rates vary widely by industry and relationship depth, making it essential to track proposal time separately and understand the true cost of sales.
Knowledge management determines whether a consulting practice scales or stays dependent on individual expertise. Every client engagement generates insights, frameworks, and deliverables that could accelerate future work. Consultants who systematically capture and organize this knowledge can onboard new team members faster and deliver consistent quality without reinventing approaches for each engagement.
