ABSTRACT
A consultant came to visit the other day. This is not an unusual occurrence. Consultants often come to visit, to sell their services in one way, shape or form. Methods of selling have become increasingly sophisticated — less the dubious raincoated door-to-door salesman, more the suave suited service provider that you can't do without. Anyway, this particular consultant had come to advise us on corporate development. Now, I'm not entirely sure I know what corporate development is, or whether we need it, let alone how much it should cost.
