Professional services

Firms that sell expertise, from law and accounting to consulting.

Law, accounting, consulting and similar firms sell expertise that is hard to judge before buying, so reputation, referrals and visible thinking carry the decision. The people are the product, and their profiles, talks and writing are the firm's main media. Some professions limit how they may advertise or describe their results, under rules that differ by country.

Questions to ask vendors and agencies

Common mistakes
