Consultants: Want to Generate More Revenue? Start With This.

As a consultant, you’re probably familiar with mismanaged projects. Unfortunately, that’s no surprise since one of the biggest reasons for them is a lack of communication and collaboration between team members, including their clients.

On that note, here are three reasons consultants should invest in better project collaboration software:

1. Decision making

The most successful projects are the ones that get done on time, and that means making decisions when you need to. On the flip side, you know all too well that decisions don’t usually get made by just one person. That’s why having project collaboration software in place to get all hands on deck when it's time to call some shots will help streamline the entire process, so you can complete your projects faster.

2. Communication silos

When communications come from a bunch of different places it’s hard to see the entire picture, make decisions, and get things done. Emails get lost, attachments get misplaced, and sometimes there's important conversations over other chat platforms or phone calls that not everyone else on your team can see—but need access to. Having one tool that streamlines your team and client communications in one easy place will prevent these kinds of communication silos. That way, you and everyone on board have the information you need to be successful.

3. Meeting management

Often feel like you’re spending too much time in meetings with your team or clients over things that could be addressed in half the time? Not to mention the fact that unnecessary meetings can cost you over $30,000 a year in revenue. With the right project collaboration software, you can usually do away with traditional meetings and figure out what needs to be done in a much more efficient way and save some of that hard-earned cash.
