Leveling
the
Peaks
and
Valleys
in
Your
Consulting
Business
Staying
busy
is
the
number
one
fear
of
most
independent
consultants.
Even
the
most
successful
independent
consultants
worry
about
what
they
will
do
when
their
current
engagement(s)
end(s).
Marketing
your
services,
even
when
you
are
too
busy
is
a
key
service
that
Boardroom
Metrics
provides
independent
consultants.
While
you
are
engaged
meeting
client
needs,
Boardroom
Metrics
ensures
that
you
never
go
off
of
client
and
potential
client
radar
screens.
Here’s
how:
1. Promoting
your
on-­‐line
profile.
Your
on-­‐line
profile
is
optimized
for
search
engine
optimization
to
attract
clients
to
your
expertise.
2. Providing
a
high-­‐profile
home
for
your
on-­‐line
content.
The
Boardroom
Metrics
website
is
composed
of
highly
relevant,
constantly
updated
content
that
makes
it
very
attractive
to
search
engines.
We
make
it
easy
for
you
to
add
your
content,
including
blogs,
providing
answers
to
frequently
asked
questions,
posting
videos
via
Youtube
and
presentations
on
SlideShare.
If
you’ve
never
produced
content
before,
we
work
with
you
to
make
it
easy
–
and
you
an
expert.
3. Promoting
your
messaging
and
on-­‐line
content
on
our
website,
through
our
52,000
Twitter
followers,
on
LinkedIn
and
on
Facebook.
Are
you
attending
a
conference
and
want
the
world
to
know
about
it?
Let
us
know,
at
we
will
tweet
throughout
the
day
to
our
followers.
We’ll
do
the
same
when
you
post
content
or
have
some
other
message
you
want
to
get
out.
4. Introducing
you
to
our
clients.
It
doesn’t
take
long
for
us
to
understand
what
your
expertise
is
and
where
it
may
fit
with
our
client
needs.
When
we
identify
a
match,
we
won’t
hesitate
to
introduce
you
as
the
expert
who
can
help
them.
5. Introducing
you
to
others
on
the
Boardroom
Metrics
team.
At
Boardroom
Metrics
we
encourage
our
members
to
do
what
they
do
well,
and
when
they
spot
an
opportunity
outside
of
what
they
do
–
to
bring
in
someone
else
from
the
team.
We
don’t
hide
our
members
from
each
other.
Instead
we
provide
names,
contact
info
and
links
so
that
they
can
connect
easily.
Also,
we
recommend
team
members
to
each
other
when
we
hear
of
an
opportunity
that
is
a
good
fit.

Success
Story
When
Ken
Steven
joined
Boardroom
Metrics
he
had
managed
his
own
marketing
consulting
practice
for
over
ten
years.
Over
those
ten
years
Ken
experienced
great
success
–
and
at
times,
a
little
slowness.
When
he
approached
us,
Ken
was
busy
but
wanted
to
feel
better
about
where
his
next
project
was
coming
from.
Now,
over
80%
of
Ken’s
business
is
sourced
through
Boardroom
Metrics.
Success
began
almost
immediately
when
we
introduced
him
to
a
financial
services
client.
That
client
recommended
Ken
to
someone
else.
We
backfilled
his
available
time
with
opportunities
from
our
web
site
and
from
client
leads.
Ken
has
been
busy
ever
since.
Using
our
Business
to
Build
Yours
Ken’s
own
brand
had
not
suffered
because
he
works
with
Boardroom
Metrics.
Ken
maintains
his
own
website
and
marketing
presence.
He
pursues
his
own
leads.
We
encourage
him
to
do
that.
However,
Ken
also
knows
that
if
he
needs
help
on
a
project
he
can
turn
to
us.
Most
importantly,
he
knows
that
even
when
he’s
busy,
he
is
not
invisible.
