Episode 7: A Journey into HR Consultancy
Guest: Kate Van Der Sluis of Humber HR People
In this episode Kate shares with us her consultancy journey and how she ensures she plays to her strengths of business development and commerciality.
Kate has opted to expand her business by employing people, as using Associates did not suit her, find out more by tuning in.
In this episode, we also cover:
- Knowing your skillset - what you enjoy doing and what suits you but being realistic about what SME’s need
- Having a clear vision for your business and the courage, guts and faith to keep going
- How to make the move from in house to consultancy
- The need for mental agility to switch from client to client and different projects
- How once you are a consultant you are actually a business advisor and need to change your language and approach
- The importance of financial targets to bring you focus
- Finding your niche and target audience
- The importance of not skimping on marketing spend
- The realisation that your sales pipeline will never be ‘done’ it needs to constantly be worked on
- Funding your consultancy
