Communication
The first key to remember is communication. Arcaini believes being able to listen is just as much, if not more, important than being able to explain or show what you’re doing as a consultant. “Having a collaborative environment of communication between both consultant and client will make teams operate much more effectively,” he says.
Versatility
“In consulting, some of the biggest value you can provide is being versatile,” Arcaini mentions. “Whether you are sitting with stakeholders and creating strategy or working with an entire marketing team producing campaigns, if you’re able to be versatile, that will create a successful engagement.” In essence, a successful consultant will always be able to pivot from one project to the next, with the ability to communicate and strategize with a variety of different teams.
Expertise
Consultants are brought in by clients because they need an expert on board. “You should come prepared, strapped with the newest tools and trends and ideas within the space,” says Arcaini. In addition to expert-level usage and experience within numerous types of platforms, you should also be providing a way to help plan and strategize with the client just how you can make their marketing technology utilization much more efficient.
