85.1% of Georgia's management consulting firms with employees had fewer than five people in March 2023, compared with 83.6% nationally. 91.2% had fewer than ten.

Calls a management consulting firm in Georgia has to catch

Consultants spend much of their time with clients and away from a desk, so calls land on cell phones. A business line that rings their cell keeps personal numbers private and makes the firm look established.

• The consultant calls a client to follow up on a proposal.
• A partner calls into a client meeting from the road.
• A vendor calls about a subcontract.

Business texting for management consulting firms
