Top 10 things you'll never hear from a consultant:


10. You're right; we're billing way too much for this.

9.  Bet you I can go a week without saying "synergy" or "value-added."

8.  How about paying us based on the success of the project?

7.  This whole strategy is based on a Harvard business case I read.

6.  Actually, the only difference is that we charge more than they do.

5.  I don't know enough to speak intelligently about that.

4.  Implementation? I only care about writing long reports.

3.  I can't take the credit. It was Ed in your marketing department.

2.  The problem is, you have too much work for too few people.

1.  Everything looks OK to me.
