Suzi's Seal The Deal course was exceptional and regardless of where you are in your business development, you could benefit from working with Suzi. She is an exceptional coach who has been in the ring and she coaches with a well-tuned ear.

Suzi is brilliant! She has coached/facilitated my team to help us articulate and achieve our vision. I can’t say enough about her insight and ability to help us get that long-sought-after clarity. The added bonus in working with Suzi is the “fun factor!” This does not mean, however, she’s not rigorous. She knows when, where and how to chase the energy, and for that, we’re SO appreciative.

Suzi's coaching and teachings are poignant and incredibly informative as well as practical. Her sales and marketing course have directly impacted my business and I've recommended her to many people and will continue to do so. She is bright, tuned in and has a wealth of knowledge she is excited to offer.

Jeffrey Gitomer has a great series of little books like his Little Red Book of Sales Answers. Other superb books I'd recommend are Ian Altman's Upside Down Selling and Harry Beckwith's Selling the Invisible as well as Karl Albrecht's Service America.

My own book, Seal the Deal, could be useful to you as it distinguishes networking, marketing, and sales for a service professional and outlines a system for how to leverage the essential mindsets in each one for integrated action. It's not written specifically for CEOs, though, so you may not want that.

You might also check out Bill Cates' newest book: Beyond Referrals.

As for courses, there are a wide array of excellent offerings available on udemy.com on every topic under the sun!

You might also consider hiring an executive coach. Stanford just released a study about the value of CEOs having a coach: http://www.suzipomerantz.com/stanford-executive-coaching-study-reveals-most-ceos-want-coaching/

Jason's answer is right-on. A rule of thumb that I've used when considering the big move from 1099ers to employees is if the employee's effectiveness in year one could recoup a 3x return on the investment of their salary. In other words, does the employee free you up to bring in more consulting clients, or generate sufficient product sales to justify their salary?

The issue you raise of not having a predictable revenue stream as a consultant is exactly what led to the creation of the Seal the Deal Success Kit, which we created for coaches, but works as well for any consultant who wants to level out the ups and downs of the unreliable in-flow of revenues. http://sealthedealsuccesskit.com/ It's essentially a fully-stocked kitchen of information about essential mindsets for integrating leveraged action across three domains simultaneously: Networking, Marketing, and Sales. Do you feel you have a sustainable system for generating new consulting work/ revenue?

A business coach could make sense for you...there's a great article out recently citing Stanford research into the value of having a coach for your business. Here's that article. http://www.suzipomerantz.com/stanford-executive-coaching-study-reveals-most-ceos-want-coaching/

Books I'd recommend include: Seal the Deal (by me), Upside Down Selling (by Ian Altman), Beyond Referrals (by Bill Cates), Made to Stick (Heath brothers), and Dynamic Laws of Prosperity (Catherine Ponder).

Hope this is somewhat helpful!
