The “Business of Consulting”

Consulting has grown at 16.1% per annum over the last 10 years
It is a $120 billion industry and more than 1,000,000 consultants
The big players take $60 billion almost automatically and $60 billion
is divided up between small firms and independent consultants
That averages out at $120,000 charge out fees per consultant
but, the 80-20 rule rules!
Odyssey: The Metaphor
Greek term: a long and adventurous journey
the journey to join the top 10% of Consultants
worldwide in terms of : best practices client
quality, income, professionalism, personal fulfilment.

2 Phase Business Process
Three Aspects Of Professional Service Firms
Applicable To Consulting
© 2012 Odyssey Consulting Institute™ 9
Resource
Base
Organization
Form
Professional
Identity
Professional Service Firms
Resource Base
Relatively limited physical resources and their value
derives primarily from their professional
staff, specifically the technical knowledge, expertise
and experience which they possess
The management of knowledge and “the knowledge
worker” is, therefore, fundamentally important to them.
The asset is knowledge and expertise
© 2012 Odyssey Consulting Institute™ 10
Professional Service Firms
Through the partnership form of
governance, professionals in professional service
firms experience a higher degree of autonomy than
they would typically enjoy in conventional
bureaucratic structures
Those professional service firms which have adopted
the corporate structure may still attempt to imitate
elements of the partnership form
© 2012 Odyssey Consulting Institute™ 11
Organization Form
Professional Service Firms
Firm members identify themselves as professionals
and are united by a shared understanding of the
concept of professionalism.
This professional identity is often associated with
the rhetoric of independence and exemplary ethics
but may be redefined within professional service
firms to focus on exceptional commitment to clients
and quality of service

Why Say „Yes‟ to the Odyssey Process?
Invest in yourself and the „Business of Consulting”
Learn the Odyssey system, proven methodologies and processes
“Learn more, earn more!”*
Work less, make more money and have more flexible, free time
It‟s your time to learn a system and to change your consulting
paradigm and your life……..and
To achieve your Purpose!
*Brian Tracy

Case Studies
1. Two weeks after Odyssey we signed up a $50,000 per month deal for 15 months.
We were charging a lot less to the same client before Odyssey. Before taking
Odyssey we could be characterized as an “everything to everyone” type business.
In fact, Odyssey has fundamentally changed the way we do business
2. The relentless application of the Odyssey methodologies has resulted in me
quadrupling my consulting revenue in two years, from about $250K to over $1
Million per year and having greater impact on the success of my ideal clients.
Odyssey was the critical missing factor.
3. When I signed up for Odyssey my consulting business was in a rut at $100-150K
per year. Before I was a third of the way through Module 3, I had recouped my
investment and doubled the contract revenue for the same client using what I
learned. The client didn‟t blink! Should have done this program 3 years earlier!

Odyssey Graduates Speak
I want you to know that even though my billings do not reflect $1M, I am grateful every day that I now
have a better way to run my consulting business, I am not the fastest - I am the most consistent.
I learn by doing and I will continue to practice what I have learned on a daily basis and continue to
sharpen my saw. I am moving forward because of YOU and this program. Thank you
Odyssey has paid for itself and only now is germinating into the sizeable ROI that it can deliver.
The biggest result, thus far, is the shift in my mindset and business model. It is starting to pay dividends
and I believe I will really see results in 2013
Odyssey showed me how to monetize my solutions w/a client/potential client, how to think BIGGER
about fees and solutions offering, how to pen sell, the difference between level 1 and level 4 consulting
and where I was operating…. and where I wanted to operate…..and how to be better at the "business of
consulting" BMR process and getting out of my own way!

  • 25. Case Studies 1. Two weeks after Odyssey we signed up a $50,000 per month deal for 15 months. We were charging a lot less to the same client before Odyssey. Before taking Odyssey we could be characterized as an “everything to everyone” type business. In fact, Odyssey has fundamentally changed the way we do business 2. The relentless application of the Odyssey methodologies has resulted in me quadrupling my consulting revenue in two years, from about $250K to over $1 Million per year and having greater impact on the success of my ideal clients. Odyssey was the critical missing factor. 3. When I signed up for Odyssey my consulting business was in a rut at $100-150K per year. Before I was a third of the way through Module 3, I had recouped my investment and doubled the contract revenue for the same client using what I learned. The client didn‟t blink! Should have done this program 3 years earlier! © 2012 Odyssey Consulting Institute™ 25 “ ” “ ” “ ”

  • 34. Odyssey Graduates Speak I want you to know that even though my billings do not reflect $1M, I am grateful every day that I now have a better way to run my consulting business, I am not the fastest - I am the most consistent. I learn by doing and I will continue to practice what I have learned on a daily basis and continue to sharpen my saw. I am moving forward because of YOU and this program. Thank you Odyssey has paid for itself and only now is germinating into the sizeable ROI that it can deliver. The biggest result, thus far, is the shift in my mindset and business model. It is starting to pay dividends and I believe I will really see results in 2013 Odyssey showed me how to monetize my solutions w/a client/potential client, how to think BIGGER about fees and solutions offering, how to pen sell, the difference between level 1 and level 4 consulting and where I was operating…. and where I wanted to operate…..and how to be better at the "business of consulting" BMR process and getting out of my own way! © 2012 Odyssey Consulting Institute™ 34 “ “ “ ” ” ”
