Of course, you have individual consultants and teams to focus on each client, but you still have to manage your time wisely.<\/p>\n<p>So, how can you optimise your time as a senior partner, especially if your inbox is flooded with emails from various clients and you aren\u2019t even up-to-date on the latest events within that engagement? Here are a few tips for managing your time like the true professional you are:<\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Rely on your team.<\/strong> Your consultants were hired for a reason. Depend on each individual team to handle day-to-day tasks and put out any small fires. Set a protocol so that when a problem is large enough, you will be notified. In the meantime, trust your firm. This will free up your time up for more important, revenue-generating activities such as developing new business.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Make time for face-to-face meetings.<\/strong> When you do have free time, book it back-to-back with face-to-face meetings. Sit down with each of your clients on a regular basis in order to talk about big picture problems and long-term goals. This will save you a ton of time going back and forth over email or playing phone tag, and it will prove to each and every one of your clients that you see them as a priority.<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Implement a tool with high visibility.<\/strong> Ever want a glimpse into the status of a particular client engagement, but can\u2019t track down the team lead or find the right email in your inbox? Invest in a system that allows you to look at every client account at a high level. Who has been in communication with the client? When\u2019s the last time they had a meeting or spoke on the phone? Consider a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bullhorn.com\/uk\/industry\/consulting-crm\/?LS=Website&amp;LSD=Blog_UK_18_03_15\" target=\"_blank\">consulting CRM<\/a>&nbsp;that will provide you with this information easily and quickly.<\/p>\n<p>A consultant\u2019s time is precious \u2013 use these tips to ensure that you aren\u2019t wasting any of yours.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As a senior partner at a consulting firm,&nbsp;you may oversee engagements with many clients at once.
