If you are considering choosing a Business Improvement Specialist ...

Business owners can all benefit from a good business improvement specialist. As the driving force behind your business venture, you should consider selecting someone who can help you streamline your delivery processes, improve your marketing initiatives, and contribute to the overall survival and success of your business.

Business improvement specialists often specialise in specific areas of expertise; they may focus on career development or they may handle merging cultures during corporate acquisitions. However, use care when making your decision as the industry is not well regulated.

Here are some points to cinsider when finding a business improvement specialist who will guide your business down the road to success:

  • Explore industry associations. The International Business Coach Institute is one of the first professional mentoring associations exclusively dedicated to business mentoring. Membership is selective and based upon eligibility requirements and high standards of ethics, integrity, and professional responsibility.
  • Ask trusted sources for recommendations. Seek recommendations from service providers such as your lawyer, accountant, financial planner, banker, HR advisor, or from other business providers.
  • Focus on your own needs. Business improvement specialists and mentors specialise in a wide range of topics: emotional intelligence, tolerance of turbulence, or assuring business profitability, for example. Carefully consider in which areas you most need guidance and find a mentor who best suits your needs.
  • Interview candidates thoroughly.  Interview several business mentors; this will increase your odds of finding the right match for you. This decision is as important as selecting the right accountant, lawyer or financial advisor. You want to be cautious and patient.
  • Draft a list of interview questions. To find a fitting mentor for your business, you'll want detailed answers to specific questions. Questions you'll likely want to ask include: What is your background in business? What is your experience in mentoring and helping business owners? What credentials do you have in coaching or in other related fields? What is your personal mentoring style? With what kind(s) of clients do you work best? What are the business issues in which you are most qualified?
  • Explain your professional situation and solicit feedback. When interviewing potential business mentors, don't be afraid to seek early feedback on your personal business issues. Ask the prospective mentor how he or she has assisted others in the past with the issues or challenges that you face.
  • Compare working styles. Business mentors have specific styles for conducting coaching sessions. Do they typically conduct their sessions in person, on the phone, or via e-mail? And perhaps most importantly, how will they deliver feedback to you? Make sure their style suits your needs.
  • Check carefully what you may be locked in to. How long, and how much, do they charge per session? Would you be committed to a fixed period of time, or commiitted to a fixed amount of money?
  • Check if any guarantees are offered. How worthwhile are the guarantees? Do they add any confidence to your decision?
  • Seek references. Ask potential candidates for a list of references and contact them. It is important to determine if your prospective business improvement specialist has happy clients.
  • Go with your instinct. Solid relationships are built on trust, safety, honesty, support, and quality feedback; the relationship that you form with your business mentor is no different. After your interview, reflect upon how you feel about and what you think of your prospective mentor. Do you think you can trust them? Could you let your guard down enough to really open up and be honest with this person? Does your gut tell you that this is the right fit or to keep looking?
  • Have a clear understanding of your mutual roles. An effective business improvement specialist helps you build your own capacities and resources to respond more consciously, skillfully, and appropriately to your leadership and management challenges. He or she then guides you to execute your decisions with precision. How will this assistance and support be displayed? How will you react to this help?
