Don't play dirty consultant tricks

Takeaway: Chip Camden offers his take on an article that characterizes consultants as vampires who are opponents of their clients’ best interests. He also shares tips on how to avoid playing dirty consulting tricks.



In 7 dirty consultant tricks (and how to avoid them), Dan Tynan adopts a highly mistrustful view of consultants as predators who are looking for any excuse to take your money in exchange for results that are less than you expected. Tynan offers suggestions for remedying each of the seven foul practices that he discusses, but I take exception to the characterization of consultants as opponents of their clients’ best interests. Therefore, I’ll examine each item in Tynan’s list from the perspective of the consultant, with the aim of preventing the problem altogether.

Convert Your Facebook Profile

How To Convert Your Facebook Profile To A Business Fan Page:



Facebook started off as a pure social network. As time passes, its creators and users both begin to realize its value proposition in the business world. So, Facebook launched “Pages” for business users analogous to “profiles” for personal users. In the business world, profiles became pages, followers became fans, the user interface changed to have a more business-centric appeal but the essence remained the same.



The launch of Facebook pages left many businesses wondering if they should now build a page or a profile? Those with existing profiles had a dilemma of whether to abandon their profile and build a page, have both a page and a profile or perhaps look for a means to migrate their existing profile into a business page.



Facebook recently launched a migration tool that converts a Facebook profile to an official Page with the click of a button, transforming friends to fans in the process. This is a welcome change to the cryptic process of creating a page from scratch and starting with an empty friends list.
