Before starting your IT consulting business, take the steps that will lead to your success.

1. Arrange Your Telecom Services

Get a business telephone number or a mobile phone or something that you can answer with your IT consulting business name so you sound professional. Don’t go too cheap and use your home phone number and a answering machine or it will really destroy your professional image. You should also get a domain name registered. Ideally, you should pick out your domain name and IT consulting company name at the same time so you make sure you get your first choice of a dot com. Get your email and Webster-hosting ready to go. Decide what physical address you are going to use. Watch out for any home office zoning laws if you are going to be operating your IT consulting business out of your home.

2. Order Your Business Cards

Go either with 2 colour or 4 colours at this stage of the business. Don’t go overboard on printing a ton of them. If you do, your bound to decide to change your logo or address and you'll be stuck with cards you can't use. Get the minimum quantity. You can always get a reprint later.

3. Set Up Your Sales Tax

If you are reselling products, you will need to get a sale tax certificate or sales tax collection receipt from the province or state you are located in. It is one type of regulatory agency there. You may want to open up some distributor accounts especially with the big two Ingram Micro and Tech Data. Ingrammicro.com and techdata.com. The big two distributors are XENIX, which just went public, and D&H. You should also have a merchant account. You want to be able to get a credit card authorization for any sales.

4. Use A Combination of Personal and Professional Visits

In person visits are the most powerful, then phone calls, then emails and postcards. Make sure you give each person couple of your IT consulting business cards with your mobile number on it. Also, give them some tech support stickers so they can put one on their computer and give them to others.

5. Never Stop Meeting New People

Attend networking meetings regularly. Keep expanding your IT consulting prospect file even when you’re really, really busy. You're always going to need people in your funnel. Get to know the organization's programming needs, what kind of speakers panels and educational programs they have, etc. Volunteer to speak at an upcoming meeting on an IT-related topic. Speaking is such a powerful way your clients. Speaking at a chamber of commerce event or rotary seminar can get you a huge pool of potential future IT consulting clients and business contacts.

6. Volunteer if You Can't Get Paying IT Consulting Customers

Let everyone you know you're open for business and you still don't have referrals or paying customers, then take the bull by the horns and volunteer for a non-profit. Give them a few volunteer hours to help them with a PC upgrade or a tune-up. Help them update their website or give them some computer training. Just be sure you limit it to a 2- or 4-hour type deal or you may not be getting an end to it.
