Business Development Consulting Services

Business development consultants play a crucial role in today’s business world. These professionals, also known as management analysts, will provide expert analysis covering all aspects of your company. Consultants will then provide much-needed solutions.

If you are searching for “business development consulting services” or “what does a business development consultant do“, this article will help!

What Is A Business Development Consultant?

A business development consultant is an all-around team player for your organization to hire. His/her job involves working with departments such as human resources, sales, marketing, management, accounting and so on.

These consultants will quickly analyze and pinpoint company weakness and areas for improvement. After a full analysis, recommendations will be made for solutions.

Business Development Consultant Responsibilities

These are just a few of the responsibilities and roles a consultant can be hired for:

  • Evaluate a company’s competitors
  • Analyze business practices
  • Review financial statements
  • Develop new business models
  • Analyze current market conditions
  • Review sales, advertising and marketing strategies
  • Build effective and efficient team

Benefits Of Hiring A Business Development Consultant

Business development consultants bring a wealth of knowledge and experience in several different industries to the table. Below are just a few benefits of hiring a consultant for your company.

1. Years Of Experience

Business development consultants will come into any job with a strong background in a direct or related environment. These professionals can draw back on experience and provide proven results to your specific needs. Consultants will pass on their knowledge and experience to upper management and the rest of the organization.

2. Objectivity

One of the main reasons why so many companies invest in consultants is that they are truly independent and impartial. External consultants will come into your company without any biases or preferences.

3. Expert Insight

Consultants will add a much-needed fresh perspective on all matters regarding your business. By analyzing, researching and problem solving, consultants will help to develop new approaches to all challenges and hurdles.

4. Cost-Effective

This, perhaps, tops the list of reasons why you should hire an external consultant. Fees charged by independent consultants are almost always lower than fees charged by large consultancies. An external, independent consultant is more cost-effective than paying an in-house consultant year round.

5. Networking

Consultants are often able to expand a company’s horizons by introducing you to individuals and other companies in your business realm. Just by networking, new avenues will open up for your company. A consultant is hired to help your business grow and sustain success over a long period of time.

Business Development Consulting By Saletta Leadership

Known as the “master facilitator”, Michael Saletta has been providing services as a business development consultant for more than 25 years. His consulting services are very diverse and based on analyzing each individual client’s needs. Whether it is design, development, leadership or communication, Michael Saletta can provide multiple ways to improve your company.

Consulting services offered by Saletta Leadership:

Speaking of leadership development, there are several strategies to implement as you transition into the best leader for your workplace.

A leader needs to show a willingness to take on as many projects as possible. Co-workers will always follow someone who leads by example. Reach out to your bosses or manager to see if there is any extra work or an additional project that you can take part in. This is not to recommend taking on more than you can currently handle; make sure you can handle your workload first. Instead, this is a recommendation to go above and beyond your job description. This is a great way to grow, professionally and personally.

A great leader needs to know how to listen to others. To lead, one must first be in the role of follower. Leadership includes the ability to yield power when appropriate. If someone is more of a creative thinker for a situation that calls for creativity, then let that person have the floor. Yielding power to best use your personnel shows true leadership and maturity.

What Is A Business Coach?

An business coach provides a crucial service for today’s busy professionals. By investing in this training process, a manager and/or boss can discover exactly what makes his/her entire team click in the office. The coach can help you understand relationships within the workplace, leadership tactics and how to communicate effectively.

Coaches can work with management one-on-one or in a group setting. The coach will come in and evaluate everything, from top to bottom, but it all starts with management. Is your leadership style tailored perfectly for your team or does it need to be adjusted? How self-aware are you? This is a crucial aspect to the office environment. A manager cannot properly lead without knowing exactly who he/she is. Self-awareness and communication are two aspects that coaches can critique and alter; maximizing your organization’s potential.

So, how does business coaching differ from leadership coaching? This training is more focused towards your organizational goals and achievements. Instead of diving into workplace relationships and motivational tactics, the coach will help implement support for upcoming projects and company objectives. Whether it is an end-of-year quota or budget that needs to be reached, coaches can help you strategize for success.

Let’s take a look at three different types of coaching below:

Leadership Coaching

Leadership coaching is a must for today’s managers. Whether you are in charge of a large organization or a small office, leadership skills always need to be refined and sharpened. As you climb the professional ladder, your skillset needs constant evaluation. What worked yesterday won’t work today. So, it’s time to adapt to your new position with updated leadership techniques. How vital is empathy and communication? An executive coach can suit a program with techniques and strategies to best fit the needs of your co-workers and employees.

Career Coaching

Career coaching can be more geared toward lower-level employees, but this can also be an invaluable service for managers, as well. With a career coach, you can set forth a plan to reach your professional goals. Coaches can map out your journey to success. In addition, career coaches can help with resume writing, job searches and even offer complete job interview techniques.

Why Hire A Business Coach?

Here is a condensed list of the top 5 benefits of executive and business coaching:

Sharpen Your Strengths

An effective and efficient coach can help you understand and flex the strengths you already possess. Executive coaches can instantly recognize your strengths as a manager and leader. Whether you have exceptional communication skills or can motivate your team like no other, a business coach will stress the importance of sharpening your professional skillset.

Build Better Professional Relationships

Once your strengths are identified, you can transition towards using those skills to improve your existing relationships in the office. Experts believe leaders can dramatically limit their influence and productivity by only connecting with certain groups of people. Don’t make the mistake of limiting your reach! A coach will help you connect with co-workers and employees of all backgrounds, helping you to create a more productive environment.

Improve Leadership Ability

It’s common knowledge that those with a higher intelligence make for better leadership, due in large part to empathy. Those beneath you must understand that they are heard and have an open line of communication with the top of the business structure. A coach can expand on the leader you already are by giving you a better understanding of each individual’s needs and tendencies within the company.

Master Of Communication

A good leader has to be a good communicator. We all know communication is key in today’s busy world. That’s why coaches will harp on this topic during seminars. As you move up the corporate ladder, styles and techniques must be constantly tweaked. Learning how to communicate with everyone in the office and how to respond to all situations is crucial.

Achieve Your Goals

Last but not least, once all of these areas are covered, your team should be able to achieve all their goals with little opposition. Your boss should now understand his or herself and the surrounding team better than ever before. Reach new heights professionally and personally by learning from an executive coach!

How Much Does An Executive Coach Cost?

On average, the services of an executive coach will cost $400 per hour. Prices can range based on a variety of factors, typically costing between $200-$600 per hour, according to ArdenCoaching.

Executive Coaching Cost Factors

There are three main factors that can influence the cost of an executive coach. These factors include:

  • Executive Coaching Experience.
  • Type Of Industry.
  • Program Intensity.

Lets get into details on the aforementioned factors.

Executive Coaching Experience

The first thing to look for in an executive coach is the amount of experience he or she has. Always ask potential coaches about their years of experience and what credentials they currently possess. If budgeting is more of a concern for you than experience, it is certainly possible to find a newer coach who will cost only $200 per hour.

Generally, most professional experienced coaches will charge between $20,000-$30,000 for a six-month program. For large organizations seeking as much experience as possible, costs can range from $50,000-$100,000 for six months.

Type Of Industry

Most executive coaches will adjust costs based on the type of industry in need of services. In some cases, coaching rates may increase significantly depending on the industry. Typically, costs should stay between $20,000-$30,000 for a six-month program.

Program Intensity

Coaching companies will construct their programs in several different ways. Some executive coaches will charge by the hour, while others may refuse to take any short-term projects, in general. A lot of hourly charges will include assessment costs, which will inflate the bottom line. Most long-term programs will save companies money over time.

What Is Organizational Leadership?

Leader In The Office

Organizational leadership is exactly what it sounds like. This type of leader directs and coordinates individuals within an organization in order to reach goals and/or objectives. Organizational leadership is commonly the next step for anyone looking to move up to a higher tier of management.

Organizational Leadership Defined

Essentially, organizational leadership is a multi-faceted task, which requires experience with time management, planning and understanding the company as a whole. Ironically, many companies refrain from using the title of “organizational leader” for various reasons.

What Does An Organizational Leader Do?

These jobs are undoubtedly impacted by the company one works for. Oftentimes, organizational leaders are instead given the title of “high potential” employees (HiPos). As these individuals climb the ranks within a company or nonprofit, they will enter organizational leadership roles with director-level titles attached to them. These titles typically include chief financial officer (CFO), dean, general counsel or provost.

The actual day-to-day tasks and responsibilities of an organizational leader will include motivating and managing a team, using a problem-solving mindset in order to address any issues that may come about. Setting team goals/objectives and coordinating with other departments are also part of the job.

The importance of organizational leaders cannot be understated. These leaders are responsible for facilitating teamwork, setting goals and promoting cooperation by making the most of the talent within the company.

Examples Of Organizational Leadership

Most applications of organizational leadership aren’t found within that specific job title, but in other titles throughout the workplace. These types of jobs can often be found in nonprofits, health care, private companies and government agencies.

One example of organizational leadership is managing a team project on how a company can improve its search engine optimization (SEO) or presence on the web. In this scenario, a leader can create a plan to achieve the company’s ultimate goals.

Important organizational leadership traits include:

  • Problem-solving skills.
  • Goal-oriented.
  • Creativity.
  • Communication skills.
  • Precise decision-making skills.

Why Is Organizational Leadership Important?

With innovation and communication happening at record speeds nowadays, management can no longer implement the status quo. Organizational leadership is a necessity at every level. This leadership style can adapt and change traditional methods to meet today’s fast-paced workplace.

Organizational Leadership Vs Traditional Management

Organizational leadership will encompass a broader scope of responsibility than most traditional management styles. These leaders must communicate both the mission and the vision. Traditional management, meanwhile, only fulfills part of that overall vision of a company. A manager’s objective is to simply relay leadership’s directions and assign tasks.

What Is Leadership Effectiveness?

What Is Leadership Effectiveness

Leadership is a critical component of a successful workplace environment. So, what is leadership effectiveness and how is it used in the business world today?

Defining Leadership Effectiveness

Leadership effectiveness is a multi-faceted term with several components, which makes it difficult to give it one specific definition. Historically, leadership effectiveness has been used to measure a leader’s ability to coordinate, influence and control others on a top-down basis. Leadership effectiveness has certainly evolved over time, though, especially in the context of global leadership.

Global leaders no longer rely simply on the authority of their position. Team members and employees now expect leaders to be accountable, inspiring and hold to values worthy of respect. Leaders nowadays are expected to be an active part of their team’s growth and development.

The Challenges Of Leadership Effectiveness

There are four big challenges for any leader in the business world. Let’s take a look at each issue below.

Inspiring The Workforce

Inspiring and motivating your workforce are traits that some leaders are born with and others must learn over time. Being able to motivate effectively is something every good leader must be able to do. A key tool towards motivating others is clearly showing your passion on a daily basis. Passionate leaders can ignite the fuse of their employees in a good way. Effective leaders can naturally communicate that passion and use it to motivate their employees.

Developing Managerial Effectiveness

Good leaders must cultivate a set of skills to develop their effectiveness. These traits include time management, strategic thinking, goal-setting ability, good judgement and prioritization. These skills can help a leader to deliver successful projects and manage any potential demands that may arise. Without these skills, a leader may focus too much on unimportant tasks or goals.

Leading A Team

Effectively leading a team means you must be able to get different perspectives and cultures to work together. Whether you are building a team or taking over an existing one, leaders need to provide support to initiate creativity and change. Leaders need to be highly attentive to recognize the specific needs of the team.

Developing Employees

Leaders should develop a close partnership between management structure and employees. Use value systems in order to inspire the team instead of instilling fear. A good leader will be able to motivate their employees without resorting to outdated techniques.

How To Develop Leadership Skills In The Workplace

What Qualities Define An Effective Leader?

A good leader should exhibit the following traits below:

Flexibility

Flexibility is perhaps one of the most important elements when it comes to leadership. Everyone knows that not everything will go as planned, so flexibility is key for a good leader. A leader needs to be able to quickly adapt to any adverse situations that may arise. Anything can happen in the workplace – from team changes to client disputes, meaning a good leader must have a plan for every circumstance.

Courage

Courage is another important trait for a leader to possess. It is crucial for the leader of a team to stand up for what they believe in. Having the courage to do what you believe is in you and your team’s best interest can be one of the hardest things to do today. Courage will typically come with the perfect mix of patience and determination.

Communication

Being able to properly communicate with others is a fundamental yet essential skill for any leader. Communication is not about simply finding the right words to say, though. It also means being able to follow through on promises and emphasizing with your team. A good communicator needs to know how to connect with others during orders or speeches. Powerful communication skill is one of the best traits a leader can possess.

Responsibility

Being able to say you were wrong never comes easily. Whenever there is blame to be accepted, a good leader must be able to admit to mistakes. Responsibility can also relate to rewarding and congratulating your team for accomplishments. When a manager or boss is able to accept blame and pass on compliments, a true leader is born.

Resilience

It’s no secret that being a leader can be extremely difficult. Creating a strategy, all while guiding and supporting others can seem like a juggling act. Being a leader can be exhausting on good days and overwhelming on bad days. A resilient mindset is typically a missing link for managers looking to be more effective leaders. Resilience is a key factor in dealing with challenges and creating a productive and positive work environment.

Cost Of Executive Coaching 2022

Executive Coaching Cost

On average, the services of an executive coach will cost $400 per hour. Prices can range based on a variety of factors, typically costing between $200-$600 per hour, according to ArdenCoaching.

What Is Executive Coaching?

An executive coach provides a crucial service for today’s busy professionals. By investing in this training process, a manager and/or boss can discover exactly what makes his/her entire team click in the office. The coach can help you understand relationships within the workplace, leadership tactics and how to communicate effectively.

Executive coaches can work with management one-on-one or in a group setting. The coach will come in and evaluate everything, from top to bottom, but it all starts with management. Is your leadership style tailored perfectly for your team or does it need to be adjusted? How self-aware are you? This is a crucial aspect to the office environment. A manager cannot properly lead without knowing exactly who he/she is. Self-awareness and communication are two aspects that executive coaches can critique and alter; maximizing your organization’s potential.

Let’s take a look at three different types of executive coaching below.

Leadership Coaching

Leadership coaching is a must for today’s managers. Whether you are in charge of a large organization or a small office, leadership skills always need to be refined and sharpened. As you climb the professional ladder, your skillset needs constant evaluation. What worked yesterday won’t work today. So, it’s time to adapt to your new position with updated leadership techniques. How vital is empathy and communication? An executive coach can suit a program with techniques and strategies to best fit the needs of your co-workers and employees.

Business Coaching

So, how does business coaching differ from leadership coaching? This training is more focused towards your organizational goals and achievements. Instead of diving into workplace relationships and motivational tactics, the coach will help implement support for upcoming projects and company objectives. Whether it is an end-of-year quota or budget that needs to be reached, coaches can help you strategize for success.

Career Coaching

Career coaching can be more geared toward lower-level employees, but this can also be an invaluable service for managers, as well. With a career coach, you can set forth a plan to reach your professional goals. Coaches can map out your journey to success. In addition, career coaches can help with resume writing, job searches and even offer complete job interview techniques.

Executive Coaching Cost Factors

There are three main factors that can influence the cost of an executive coach. These factors include:

  1. Executive Coaching Experience
  2. Type Of Industry
  3. Program Intensity

Lets get into details on the aforementioned factors.

Executive Coaching Experience

The first thing to look for in an executive coach is the amount of experience he or she has. Always ask potential coaches about their years of experience and what credentials they currently possess. If budgeting is more of a concern for you than experience, it is certainly possible to find a newer coach who will cost only $200 per hour. Generally, most professional experienced coaches will charge between $20,000-$30,000 for a six-month program. For large organizations seeking as much experience as possible, costs can range from $50,000-$100,000 for six months.

Type Of Industry

Most executive coaches will adjust costs based on the type of industry in need of services. In some cases, coaching rates may increase significantly depending on the industry. Typically, costs should stay between $20,000-$30,000 for a six-month program.

Program Intensity

Coaching companies will construct their programs in several different ways. Some executive coaches will charge by the hour, while others may refuse to take any short-term projects, in general. A lot of hourly charges will include assessment costs, which will inflate the bottom line. Most long-term programs will save companies money over time.
