We are not bitter about consultants. We just find it amazing how fast they adopt to new trends and technologies. Of curse we don't all of them. How could we? @None.

Of curse we don’t all of them. How could we?

Not all consultants fit into your micro-tiny box. That's like me telling you that all lead generating firms are scams because they can't guarantee the quality of the leads, only that they will generate them. Most consultants, that is, the ones that are good at what they do aren't "big box" firms. Rather, they are smaller boutique type firms who have a very special niche and expertise in one or two areas. Having been a consultant myself for nearly 20 years, I have not ever sold a skill that I can't do. And, of the consultants that I have worked with, most of them ARE NOT good marketers. In fact, these folks are brilliant, but afraid to over-step or over-sell their skills. Sounds to me like you are a little bitter about consultants and you obviously don't know all of them.

The name brings an image of someone who is coming in to help solve a problem while a salesman is seen as someone who is trying to make a sale. Sure the consultant is trying to do the same thing as a salesman but under the guise of assisting the customer, the consultant often finds less resistance.
