Become An I.T. Consultant And Small Business Super-Hero

Look up in the sky... it's a bird, no it's a plane. No, it's your smart and friendly I.T. consultant here to save the day and protect your small business from data meltdowns.

Are you trying to become an I.T. consultant? Are you interested in solving the problems of big small businesses and medium-sized businesses?

If you want to become an I.T. consultant for the big small business and medium-sized business market, you need to understand their needs and know what they are already getting in terms of technical support.

Big small businesses, those with 50-100 PC’s that do anywhere between 5 million to 20 million dollars in U.S. annual revenue (or your local currency equivalent), get their technical support usually from an internal I.T. person or a small I.T. department.

Medium-sized businesses usually have more than 100 PCs and are doing more than 20 million dollars in U.S. annual revenue (or your local currency equivalent). Here you will see more I.T. departments and companies that have bigger versions of those same I.T. resources you saw with the big small businesses.

The following 3 tips can help you get started as an I.T. super-hero for bigger small businesses and medium-sized businesses.

1. Know Where Most Big Small Businesses Get I.T. Support. Big small businesses will often have a full-fledged I.T. manager or director providing support, though sometimes they will just have a very knowledgeable internal computer guru. However if IT is strategic enough, you may even find a small I.T. department. When you decide to become an I.T. consultant for bigger small businesses, you will find fewer solo practitioner consultants, more small firms, and some deeply-niched specialists.
2. Pick a Specialty to Stand Out from the Crowd. If you want to be successful in bigger small businesses and you don't have the resources to compete as a larger consulting firm, you usually don't want to just be a standard generalist. You need to at the very least be marketing yourself as a specialist. Your best option if you want to work with these types of clients is to pick a few things you love to do for clients and get really, really good at them, so you can be one of those deeply-niched specialists that will help them fill out their existing I.T. departments.
3. Think About How to Complement Internal IT in Medium-Sized Businesses. With medium-sized businesses, you will almost always see an internal I.T. department and especially an in-house generalist. So to become an I.T. consultant for these clients, you need to get really comfortable with working in a deep niche. While this presents a challenge, it also presents many opportunities for you to learn how to do specialized tasks that you love to do. Just do your homework to make sure your narrowly-defined marketplace is big enough to support your tiny little niche.
