Hiring a management consultant can seem like a daunting task. However, taking the time to research and ask the right questions to find the perfect consultant can be an asset to your growth as well as remove pressure from any size business owner across the spectrum.

Cornerstone BMP is proud to announce the trifecta of business consultants all under one roof while keeping in mind that consultants must always meet both the strategic and psychological aspects of your business. As Patrick Bet-David states in his book “Your Next 5 Moves” there are three types of consultants that can not only excel operations and opportunities but can maximize your growth through their expertise. The trifecta of industry leading expert consultants that Cornerstone BMP possesses are the following: A Theory Consultant, Witness Consultant, and an Application Consultant. Each holding a skillset that can speed track the growth of any business.

  • Theory consultant: This consultant is highly educated, typically from an Ivy league school and essentially the “textbook wiz” on business and consulting. Books and history are a great teacher and of course very valuable to an organization, however, can lack the experience aspect of consulting. Nonetheless needed for articulation and precision.
  • Witness consultant: A witness consultant is someone who has worked closely with a top-level executive within the same industry vertical you are looking to build your business in. For example, if you are looking to grow your business in the financial industry, searching our for the previous executive assistant who started with Ray Dalio at Bridgewater (Largest Hedge fund in the World) would be a great find.
  • Application Consultant: This by far is the most valuable of the consultants and if you find one who is willing to work alongside you, it would be wise to take advantage of this opportunity immediately. An application consultant is someone who has built the business within your same industry firsthand. For instance, if you started a company 3 years ago and have been achieving 10 million in revenue, while looking to triple your revenue within the next year, highly consider finding an application consultant who has done this. This will allow you to reduce any future or rookie mistakes a fast-growing organization can make. An application consultant typically has had many failures along their venture which has eventually lead to their track record of successes. These lessons can be the difference between an organization failing or skyrocketing.
