What does a Relocation Consultant do?
A Relocation Consultant's duties consists of locating
neighborhoods, apartment and home dwellings, childcare services,
religious organizations and selecting a moving company for
individuals, families, and employees for relocating businesses.
More specifically, as companies continue to downsize and or
relocate, there's a growing need for the services provided by a
Relocation Consultant.
Often, companies contract with Relocation Consultants so that
the consultant's services are readily accessible in the event
that an employee or numerous employees are relocated.
The Relocation Consultant will match an employer or an
employees', living requirements and requests as closely as
possible.
Additionally, a Relocation Consultant's services are solicited
for individual's who are relocating for reasons other than
employment.
Many individual's seek the services of a Relocation Consultant
due to time restrictions which prevent them from locating
desired living arrangements.
Getting started in the Relocation Consultant Business
* Advertising your Business
Run Classified ads and 1-2 inch ads in newspapers and magazines
in both the Metro areas as well as suburban areas. Good examples
are Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, New York....
Internet Classifieds work well also.
Consider leaving brochures at various Hotels and Motels.

One of the keys to success in this business is your ability to
network with others around the country.
Successful Networking will provide you with the ability to
thoroughly examine an area prior to running advertisements.
So...it's important to develop business relations the country.
Of course, the internet and email provide the perfect vehicle
for this type of relationship building.
Understand that your learning curve NEVER ENDS. You will need to
regularly develop your business skills. Don't be fooled into
thinking that "a good product sells itself."
"Consumers buy you" is what I used to teach to my telemarketers.
I've listed on my site, a few Home Business Courses to get you
off to a good start.
Don't stop there. Continue to research and develop skill.
For example, I dedicate at least 5 hours weekly toward
increasing my personal business building techniques.

This Organization has been in operation for a number of years.
They have a Newsletter and other training materials to help you
