Ep. 114: Business Models Explained: First Client Meetings

from The Dr. Claude Kershner Show Hosted by Dr. Claude Kershner IV

Before you can improve a business, you need to understand how it works. Dr. Claude Kershner explains the difference between a product, a concept, a business model, and a business plan, then introduces six questions for understanding how a venture creates, delivers, and captures value. The second part turns that framework into better first client meetings: prepare thoughtful questions, build trust, listen closely, clarify expectations, and establish a professional engagement. A practical follow-up to Introduction to Consulting for new consultants, students, and entrepreneurs.
