New Business Development: Looking for advice on what type of business to go into with a SAP Consultant background, any suggestions?

Anthony English, Impostor Syndrome Coach, Impostor Syndrome Coach answered:

Is there some area of your SAP experience that would really resonate with a particular business and a particular problem?

For example, if you're a SAP BW expert, you may be able to identify large retail clients who need to use analytics to identify which products and locations are doing best (or worst).

If you're looking to help existing SAP clients move to HANA, are you able to create a roadmap to help them overcome the very first hurdle in making the move?

Or you could aim at a particular position within a particular industry. For instance, you may be great at implementation of SAP HR for manufacturing businesses with over 300 staff.

Of course, you're not bound to go into a business centred around SAP, but if you draw on your existing experience to know who you work with best (and who you'd rather avoid), that can be an easier step than starting all over.

I wish you all the best as you head into a new business. It can be very helpful calling on the help of online communities (such as Clarity.fm), mentors or local meetup groups.
