6 reasons your consulting deals are stalling:

1/ Unclear ROI or Value Proposition.
↳ You've not made the benefits or expected return on investment explicit.

2/ Fear of Commitment and Risk.
↳ You've not covered concerns about financial, time, or operational risks.

3/ Internal Decision-Making Delays.
↳ You've not secured buy-in from other stakeholders or approval from higher-ups.

4/ Vague Project Scope or Overwhelm.
↳ You've got a proposal on the table that feels too complex or ambiguous.

5/ Budget Constraints or Cash Flow Issues.
↳ You're caught up in their enthusiasm and not accounted for constrained finance.

6/ Lack of Urgency or Competing Priorities.
↳ You've not addressed urgency. This project is really low priority compared to others.

What's really going on

“ … all of us hold on tightly to many things we don’t really have.” This line from Patrick Rhone’s book - This Could Help - got me thinking about our attitudes toward pipelines, relationships, and services.

Think Different

I love it when there's a seemingly Unreasonable Agenda. The Apple Think Different campaign epitomised this. Just look at the change makers: Albert Einstein: Questioned absolute space-time. Bob Dylan: Reimagined song meanings poetically. Martin Luther King Jr.: Envisioned equality beyond segregation. Richard Branson: Ignored business conventions fearlessly.
