Why Hire a Communications Consultant?
From Lee Clark Johns and Marty Nord, Past Presidents of APCC
We’ve asked dozens of clients why they hired us as communication consultants. Their answers reveal a range of communication needs requiring professional help:
- Hearing customers complain about unclear instructions and poor service.
- Losing contracts because of ineffective proposals or oral presentations.
- Fostering poor relationships because of
misunderstandings or distance.
- Abusing e-mail.
- Sensing inefficiency or inappropriateness in written and oral communication.
Each client linked effective communication to improving their business—
increased productivity (doing more in less time), improved perceptions (changing the way employees or customers relate to and value the business and each other), and strengthened performance (getting better results—either for the organization or for an individual).
How would you answer the question: “Why Hire a Communication Consultant?” We invite you to send your stories to us. The editors of Consulting Success will select a sample to publish on this web site each quarter to show potential clients the value gained from choosing a professional communication consultant.
We’re especially interested in stories that illustrate results and that represent a range of disciplines, such as law, accounting, engineering, healthcare, etc.
Please limit your story to 100 words.
