I want to start a consulting business to help small businesses cut costs, how do I get customers?

jkbjkb13 asked:


I am a 6 Sigma Master Black Belt. 6 Sigma is a statistical methodology that focuses on making decisions based on data. I want to start a consulting business that helps small businesses cut their costs using 6 Sigma methodologies. What would be the best approach to letting small businesses find out about my services. I propose to charge based on a percentage of the 1st year’s savings to the client (ie 30%) of total savings. I am certified in Project Management and Training of 6 Sigma. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.

    Use the people you have worked with in your previous jobs. If you have a 6 Sigma Master Black Belt you have been working for a while. Your collegues can be a big help in getting you into their companies. Relationships are everything in this business, especially since consultant are a dime a dozen! (I have a lot of experience in this area!) Be patient and good luck!

    Think on this, Why would a company or small business that needs to cut cost hire a consultant?
