You can also sell these types of services in your own business, but those are not consulting services.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another thing we need to define is what I mean by \u201cfast.\u201d When you\u2019re setting up your data business, there are two main approaches &#8211; you can either <\/span><b>start now <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">or<\/span><b> wait for the gold<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">So, the approach that I\u2019m about to share with you falls in the start now category which means, if implemented effectively, you should be able to get clients within 30 days or less.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Before we move on, I would like you to share some of your ideas for your data consulting services in the comments:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<h4><b>Have you thought about who you\u2019re going to help and how exactly your consulting services will help them?<\/b><\/h4>\n<\/blockquote>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Define who you help &amp; how you help them<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The first thing you need to do to get started as a data consultant fast is, very clearly define who you help and how you help them.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>What this is<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You need to get very clear on who your customer will be &#8211; all the way down to the industry level, what role they\u2019re currently in and the transformation you can render for them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Let me give you some examples of roles I\u2019ve helped with my consulting business in the past:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">VP of Analytics &#8211; Insurance Company<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Director of Data &#8211; Media Company<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Head of Risk Management &#8211; Banking Industry<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><b>How I\u2019ve helped them<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I help them get a \u201cquick win\u201d by ensuring their next data project generates revenue for the company.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you want to see the exact 44 step-by-step processes I lead my customers through, that is available through the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.data-mania.com\/data-strategy-action-plan\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Data Strategy Action Plan<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.

Start now generally leads to lower-value contracts &#8211; yes, you can sign a contract quicker but the dollar amount from the contracts generally tends to be lower.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I always landed my consulting work via the \u201cWait For The Gold\u201d approach, so I never did the start now method just because I didn\u2019t need to.
