Podcast appearances and mentions of jonathan dison

Today I am honored to have Jonathan Dison of Benchwatch and Lightrock Consulting. In Jonathan's previous consulting experience he has clients as Chevron, Tyson, Microsoft and quite a few other large clients. In this interview, we dive in with Jonathan on how he got his consulting firm built up and advice he has for other consultants to get into those large enterprise clients. This interview is jam-packed with 2-3 big ideas that will show you how to get in with enterprise clients.

Going out on your own, finding your own clients, not being tied to an employer, that’s what this podcast is all about. There are multiple ways to accomplish this and structure your own consulting or freelance business, just like there are multiple reasons that people do so in the first place. One of those ways is working, usually full-time, on a longer project at a giant company and, of course, at consulting rates. It can be the perfect opportunity to have tremendous freedom while not needing to find clients as frequently. Jonathan Dison, founder of Lightrock Consulting and Bench Watch, started his career working for Arthur Anderson, built his own consulting firm, and now helps people find and get matched with consulting positions at major corporations. Jonathan shares how you can break into the consulting market and start getting paid more to work on longer-term projects. https://freelancetransformation.com/episode125
