I’ve built and run my own business for several years and developed real, marketable skills in systems thinking and root cause analysis. Now I’m moving into consulting, but I want to build credibility based on results and integrity—not hype. What’s the best way to demonstrate expertise and earn trust when you’re still proving yourself in a new space?
Se puede establecer credibilidad demostrando valor real desde el inicio: compartir procesos, casos pequeños, resultados medibles, explicaciones claras y trabajo honesto. En lugar de “aparentar”, se construye confianza mostrando cómo piensas y cómo resuelves, escuchando al cliente y cumpliendo consistentemente lo que prometes.
I think it is very important to have a strong portfolio of projects you have done in the best and if possibel try to get references and reviews from people you have worked in the past. Those project and in particular those referances will help you to build credibility at least intially.
Even with that it will still be hard to get clients on an initial basis so is is important to look for clients yourself who may have a need for what you are offering. It is therefore, very important to network and seek out clients.
