What does a Consultant do?

Top Answer
Consulting will vary across niches and industries, but broadly speaking, a Consultant usually falls within one of four categories.
Average Day of a Consultant
Since Consultants work in so many different niches, there is no single average way to spend the day. However, many Consultants split their day between generating new leads, meeting new potential clients, and working for their existing clients. This work may involve phone calls, meetings, emails, and so on.
Since many Consultants rely on data to make their recommendations to clients, they need to ensure that their data-capture systems are operating correctly and that the client is interpreting the data correctly. For example, a baby sleep Consultant may ask a parent to use a sleep-tracking app on their phone for a week, then look over the data with them and explain where improvement is needed.
One of the perks of being self-employed is setting your schedule and having the flexibility to work in time to go to the gym or spend time with your family. Many Consultants also make mentorship a big part of their days and mentor up-and-coming Consultants or work with their mentor to determine what they can accomplish.
