Looking to power up your Sales / Business Performance?

I have an extensive business background in sales and business development. In addition to working at senior/ main board level in the UK I also have worked in both North/South America and the Far East.

Currently I am working as an independent business consultant but am looking for a hands on managerial role where I could more fully utilise my business background and contacts.

If you are looking to strengthen your management team then I would invite you to look at my profile at http://uk.linkedin.com/in/gordonblackburn or alternatively email me at gordon.blackburn1@btinternet.com and I will send you a copy of my current CV.

Time Wasters? - don't you just hate them

The life of a Consultant is certainly not without its frustrations but undoubtedly the most irksome is the prevalence of the “time waster”.

Picture the scenario - contact is made by a company who wishes to engage the services of a Consultant to address the problems within their organisation. The Consultant spends time studying the brief and formulating a strategy for tackling these problem issues.

At the end of this initial process (often involving a series of meetings) it appears that its all systems go - then the Client goes cold - the time waster has reared his head again.

It is an all too familiar story - the troubled company appreciates it has problem areas but when faced with an objective assessment it is all too easy to duck the issue and try to muddle through.

The downside for the troubled company is this inertia will in most cases signal the slide into administration and or liquidation.
