I have not seen a single other page as clear and concise when it comes to valuable content delivery around consulting as well as comprehensive and transferable for entrepreneurs. Thank you, Alzay!
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you found the content relatable. It's true that many of us underestimate the importance of truly engaging customers in understanding what we are selling.
You are an excellent teacher, this is very helpful. A real perspective shift. No fancy editing, just real gold advice and unique perspectives that really isn't available anywhere else on TH-cam.
I'm starting to understand what you say. Both because I see your videos and because it's some sort of natural transition we all have to go through to survive in business. The more we understand customers, the more we can alleviate their pain points and get real-and-legit money. This means not only understanding them, but also taking responsibility to fix their problems. Not easy, but the only way to grow! Trying to sell skills directly is more of a employee approach, typical of people that are just starting out as business owners. It's hard to find and understand this kind of entepreneurial knowledge for those not coming from a business school. Thank you for another excellent video
Again apologies for missing the call. Businesses have various kinds of problems. Identifying the source of the problem is essential. When a potential clients says, " I need more customers." If I hear it as a marketing problem, I may not uncover the whole truth. It may be a marketing problem, and it may not. If I hear it as a business problem then I will be able to go much further. It may be that prices are wrong, or there is pile of money not getting collected in aged receivables, or they need to upsell more products, etc. The more one is able to think as a business person rather than a marketer the more one can understand the nature of the problem and therefore the solution. My goal is to make my business the product rather than have a business selling products. Thanks for another brilliant educational video. I agree that it is essential to productizing is a game changer for consultants.
Your videos are great! Common sense in business, not lots of buzzwords and overcomplicated processes that miss the point that a consultant is there to fix a problem
Thank you so much. I learnt a lot before by some other successful experts but the way you illustrated this concept is so much fantastic and easier to understand.
If your client doesn't know they have a problem...there isn't much you can do to help. Your business is MUCH easier to run when you are targeting clientele who already know they have a problem to be solved.

Alzay, I recently discovered CC and have watched a number of videos. Have you trained or otherwise had contact with any technical (engineering/maintenance) consultants? It seems like your content is geared towards marketing consulting. I've been thinking about your concepts pertaining to "specialization" and "productized services" and how I can apply them to my situation. Scott
I know "find a problem to solve" sounds easy. It's not. A lot of the hard work I do with clients starts here. In the shortest term, I would recommend you talk to as many humans as you can. Have real conversations. Don't sell/pitch your services. Ask honestly how you can help. What you build begins with this insight.
You have a unique gift of communicating clearly, simply, and effectively so your message is easy to process and execute.

Spot on sir. Your content is relatable and shoes how very few of us are actually ready to engage customers on what we are actaully selling.
Thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you found the content relatable. It's true that many of us underestimate the importance of truly engaging customers in understanding what we are selling.
Why doesn't he have 1M subscribers. Love your content

Piero Savastano well said!
Excellent points @Piero. My favorite part was, "This means not only understanding them, but also taking responsibility to fix their problems."
What else do you recommend for making this transition? (Books, resources, things to do,etc.)
Again apologies for missing the call.

Great content. Exactly what I was looking for!❤
Wonderful to hear!
Your videos are great! Common sense in business, not lots of buzzwords and overcomplicated processes that miss the point that a consultant is there to fix a problem
Thanks Daniel. Keep concepts clear is a priority for this channel. I appreciate you for watching!
Love,love, loved this video! This was so helpful. Now I'm about to watch all the other ones Thank you!
Excellent video. i can apply it to my business, which is an ERP consulting industry. We are problem-solvers, not complex CVs.
This is what I've been going through 😮💨. Looking forward to our discussion
I died at bronze silver gold and titanium 😅. I was convinced until today that packages and products were one and same thing.
And yes, four years later your content is still titanium (pun intended).
Yea, it's a bit of mind trick isn't? You can "package" a service and it not mean a thing! 😮
Thank you so much. I learnt a lot before by some other successful experts but the way you illustrated this concept is so much fantastic and easier to understand.
I'm only 01:30 in and I'm already nodding in consent. Thank you for another awesome email!
Yes sir!
I love listening to you. Thank you for the presentation. You are a great communicator.
Thank you Antoinette. I try hard to keep the concepts easy to digest.
you are very charismatic and great with presentation. Producers and Wishful directors should be on your prowl!
God bless
thank you so much, this is really helping me come up with a productized instagram ad agency and convey my message to the clients better
How did it went? Did you failed or was it a success? What KEY lessons did you learned along your journey of ad agency?
THANK YOU! Your knowledge has enlightened my thought process to my new Educational Consulting journey! Simply on POINT!
Thanks Joe. Keep going!
Just found out about your channel. Man you killed this! Great content
Honored to hear it AboutMillions. Just trying to cut through the clutter!
The problem is sometimes clients do not know they have a problem or what problems to prioritize.
If your client doesn't know they have a problem...there isn't much you can do to help. Your business is MUCH easier to run when you are targeting clientele who already know they have a problem to be solved.
Great video. Thank you for sharing. For step 2, what's the best way to communicate (and admit) what you do best?
that was beautiful.... truly gifted
Thank you. I worked hard on this one.
Brilliant video, so well explained. Thank you.
I'm glad you enjoyed it Geoffrey. Thank you for watching.
Fantastic! You're so clear, precise and interesting
another relevant / powerful topic- it's complex but as usual smartly broken down by Alzay-
I think I finally understand the difference... It's Process... I need to map the journey.
Indeed. In fact, the first part of the process is to map the journey.

Thanks for the information
You deserve more man❤
Thank you, I appreciate that.
Great briefing. Thank you.
Awesome
I find coming up with the problems that can be solved by my solutions, the hardest part. Any advice on how to do that?
