DOTC Prime - TheDeathOfTheConsultants

...this is a rant...good for the soul...from July 6, 2013

During the first 12 months, of our incorporation, we've explored the many nooks and crannies of a sector of our niche typically haunted by trainers, coaches, advisers, analysts, gurus, sages, and prophets.

Often, when we attempt to tell people what it is we do for a living, we get one or more of the following responses:

  • "Oh, you must be consultants like Photizo..." - understood, but no.
  • "Oh, you work with end-users, helping them weed out MpS programs..." - goodness, no.
  • "Oh, you're trainers like Strategy Development..." - nope.
  • "Oh, you're providers like Preo..." - huh?
  • "Oh, you're an MpS Practice, like OnePrint..." - sorta, only not.
  • "Oh, you're analysts like IDC..." - not even close.
  • "Oh, you're recruiters..." - again, sorta, only not.
  • "Oh, you're writers..." - isn't EVERYONE?
These responses make sense because folks think of us as people who have answers. To be fair, with a combined 40 years in this nutty business, we easily slip into the consultant role.
