Should we hire a consultant or a mentor? Bit confused about it…

The other day, I was reading a good article in one of the business magazine where the author had explained nicely about what one should know about the role of a mentor or consultant. I ,myself faced several inquiries on the same & so decided to elaborate this topic a bit further here….

Often we see people expecting a consultant to be a savior for their business or give a guarantee formula to gain success or sales. Some even go to the extent of putting the blame tag on the consultant for not delivering those profits.

The role of a consultant in business is to put all existing processes of your business on track, identify leaks in existing approaches and fixing the same. A consultant clearly showcases the path that has be taken by the client in a proper way, points out what’s going wrong or what is right. The benefits of hiring a consultant for your business mean leveraging your brand in a competitive market. A consultant role is not to provide a sales lead that is job of the sales team hired by the company to do.

Now, let us talk about a Mentor. A mentor is usually an experienced person who is hired or chosen by a start-up. The mentor is like a teacher who will guide the student on giving knowledge on various factors that are connected with a subject or business. This makes the customer getting key insights on whether the chosen business will be right or wrong. Basically, it’s a two way knowledge sharing process between the mentor and the customer. Grow your business by selecting the right mentor.
