If you speak on the subject of change, leadership or teambuilding, there are all sorts of opportunities you may not have considered as a fit for your business. I tweeted this week about a pharmaceutical company merging with another. Anytime you see two companies merging (and it’s happening more and more) it could be a great opportunity for you.
Merging of cultures can be chaotic for companies. New people, new positions, some people losing jobs, others being transferred in, executives now becoming middle management etc. It is an opportunity for you to come in and make the transition easier for everyone involved if you have expertise in this area.
Further, it may be beneficial for you to offer a package of services. For example, do a speech on your given subject. Combine it with a consulting package where you can work with specific groups within the organization to make sure things go smoothly. Perhaps the consulting can be handled via Skype or a Google plus handout.
Adding consulting onto a speech is a great way to deepen the relationship, offer more expertise and, the joy of joys, make more money!
I suggest my clients get a copy of the Wall Street Journal or access it online at least once a week on Monday or Friday. This should be along with reading the business section of your local paper and perhaps subscribing to a Business Journal if your city has one.
These are the places, along with national news, that you will hear of takeovers! Every time you read about one, you should think about approaching them to see if you can make the transition easier. Think merging of cultures! It may be a new money-maker for you!
Happy hunting!
