Professional Advantages

Getting in the door with large enterprise clients isn't easy, even for accomplished independent consultants. Established client relationships, contractual requirements, and procurement hurdles can make access difficult. Mavendog opens doors to enterprise programs and client opportunities that might otherwise be difficult to pursue on your own.

In traditional consulting firms, you have little say about client assignments, travel, or work type. Mavendog's model gives you the freedom and flexibility to specify your preferred assignment, industry, domain, or even working environment. Your preferences are always taken into consideration.

Program work doesn't have to be 40 hours a week. It's not operations. Program work is program work. Clients approach Mavendog because of our hyper-flexibility. Often, our Consultants are fractionalized across multiple engagements, giving them an exciting array of work and client experiences.

Finding your next engagement while delivering your current one isn't easy. Through Mavendog, you'll have visibility into our sales opportunities and the firm's growth and direction. Prefer to be more entrepreneurial? Consultants interested in business development can help cultivate client relationships, originate new opportunities, and take on Client Partner responsibilities, with opportunities to participate in the economics of the accounts they help grow.

Ever found yourself on an engagement with unrealistic expectations? Have you been sold by sales reps with no delivery experience? Our sales team grew up in delivery work, and we understand that no consultant should be set up for failure by an overzealous or naïve contract. We collaborate with you to draft realistic Statements of Work (SOWs) and set you up for success on Day 0.

If you venture out on your own, marketing can be daunting. Instead, let us represent you. Mavendog is a well-known, well-respected brand. Consultants who leverage our reputation for enterprise leadership and delivery can pave their way to greater market access, while maintaining their professional independence.

Going independent means running a business, not just delivering programs. Contracts, invoicing, collections, and client administration can quickly become a second job. Through Mavendog, we handle the client-side administration, billing, and collections. Better yet, we compensate our Consultants biweekly, regardless of when our clients pay us. We absorb the wait, so you don't have to.

Going independent means facing the cold reality of insurance requirements just to get in the door. Workers Compensation, Professional Liability, Commercial Liability, Cyber Insurance, and more. Through Mavendog, we handle the administration and cost of applicable business insurance coverage for our client engagements.

The foundation for a successful consulting firm is a culture of trust, collaboration, and cross-team support. Though you may sometimes be the lone Mavendog Consultant for a particular client, you are never "alone." You'll have the support and backing of our entire firm.

A consultant's brand and voice are best projected by well-written and visually stimulating publications and videos. Our marketing team helps you bring your ideas and perspectives to life. Even if you're not a writer or videographer, we provide ghostwriting, video, and social media services to magnify your reputation and reach.
