About the Book:
Despite vast changes in the economy since the 2008 financial crisis, the global consulting and outsourcing services markets remain robust and offer substantial growth opportunities. While many companies retrench in the face of chaos, leading management consulting firms and IT service providers are seizing the opportunity to adapt to the new business environment, stay relevant to clients, overcome sales and delivery obstacles, and close new business opportunities.
To that end, Selling Professional Services to the Fortune 500 explains how to get in the door, whom to target, and how to build the right relationships.

The opportunities in the global consulting and outsourcing services markets have attracted an abundance of new providers, so competition is fiercer than ever. As a result, pricing structures are heavily scrutinized and many services are being viewed as commodities by aggressive corporate procurement organizations. Selling Professional Services to the Fortune 500 helps you price your service offerings accordingly and maintain your competitive edge.
