How to Choose the Right Business Consultant


A graduate of Washington State University, Jason Gesser holds a bachelor of arts in broadcast communications. In 2019, Jason Gesser opened Grit Consulting, a business consultancy that provides mentorship, networking, and strategy development to help clients improve business development and fundraising.

An effective business consultant can help an organization improve performance, but in order to be most effective the consultant must be a good fit for the company. Here are a few key tips when looking for a business consultant:

1. Clarify your goals. Are you looking for leadership coaching? Do you need help with strategic planning? Define your goals in order to get the most accurate results from a consultant.

2. Find a consultant with experience. A consultant who has worked with various companies has the ability to see patterns and help you avoid costly mistakes.

3. Ask questions to help you understand their approach. Some consultants rely on tried and true, scripted methodologies, while others take a more freestyle approach. Neither is necessarily better than the other, but you should choose the one that resonates most with your organization’s culture and goals.
