I feel that any business or team leader can really benefit from business development services. The problem is that most people don’t know which service they need. Do they want to hire a business coach or a business consultant? Are these two services the same thing? Actually no, there is a huge difference in the types of services. A business coach works more with the team leader and shaping them. Typically one on one business coaching is recommended for a boss, manager or just store leader. The business coach encourages, inspires and trains them for the role they are at. They can do mock scenarios back and forth and talk about good feedback with workers. It is all about how to be a better manager in the business. A business consultant is way more technical. They handle the numbers side of the business. If your business is failing, talk to a business consultant. The business consultant will look at all departments and print out spreadsheets of numbers. They analyze the situation and see where the business is weak. They might recommend a website being built, a department being downsized or just adding a new product to the company line. They handle the technical side of the business. If you need the business to change, get a consultant. If you as a leader need to change, get a business coach. They are both necessary services, but quite different in how they work. So take a look at your business and decide where the weak area is. Every business has one and can easily be resolved.
