Merry Easter dear listener, I hope you're well and I hope you had copious amounts of chocolate or not as the case may be. I'm taking a bit of time out over the Easter Mid Term break to hang out with the kids, have the craic, and of course, help them eat their Easter eggs. That is my duty. That is my calling at Easter time. Welcome to podcast 221, which we are pre-recording. And which you are getting to listen to a bit of bonus content. Something a little bit different than the norm. It is a really interesting interview with the director of coaching from a company called Win Without Pitching. A US-based pricing strategy, value recognition, company. If that means nothing to you, bear with me and bear with this conversion. I do believe that the concepts, and the thinking that Shannyn Lee is about to share with us in this podcast interview which was recorded in 2021, will help everyone. It was released as part of the Tribe podcast series last year. We're re-releasing it to the general public today because I believe there is so much value in this for everybody. The concepts and thinking will encourage all of us to really consider our value. Give it the 40 minutes and let it stew in your brain. I guarantee you, if you're open to it, it will help you in some way, shape, or form. Thanks Paddy
As a consultant, it can often be difficult to be seen as meaningfully different from your competitors. Every consulting firm has - or claims to have! - smart people, great methodologies and tools, and every website talks about how they can solve complex business problems in a variety of industries. So how can you stand out from the competition? In this episode, Shannyn Lee and Alastair McDermott discuss why positioning is crucial to your consulting business, why people fear positioning, and how your perspective and ideology helps differentiate you from your direct competitors. They also discuss how experimentation can help you find what energizes you, the different business models for consulting firms, and why they are happy to be a training organization! “Positioning is fundamental business strategy, it affects everything that happens in the day to day of your organization. When you're well positioned, you're very clear about every move that you choose to make, or anything you choose to walk away from, and there are lots of benefits that happen as a result.” -- Shannyn Lee
