Is it just me, or has the term 'Consultant' now become a synonym for 'salesman'? I notice an increasing number of jobs on LinkedIn et al that are advertised as requiring a Consultant - yet when you look at the detailed job spec, what they really want is a sales droid (no doubt paid on a commission basis) but who actually knows something about the stuff they are selling.
Don't get me wrong, it's good that sales people understand what they are selling and the business of their customers, but it still strikes me that calling these types of jobs 'Consultancy' is stretching things a bit far. To me a consultant is someone who goes into a business etc and then helps them analyse the setup, find out what they really want and then guides them in achieving it; or someone who brings specific expertise to an organisation that they otherwise would find it difficult to acquire.
Cynically, you might consider a consultant someone who pretends to bring expertise, charges a huge amount of money and then leaves after having made the situation worse! 8)
Either way - this is not a sales job!

A true consultant will use your watch to tell you what time it is.

A true consultant knows every position in the Karma Sutra, but is still a virgin.

IMHO, a nice example of consultant is that old man who took an entire day to find out which nut had gone loose in the ship, tightened it in a minute, and ...
... gave a bill of $10000, where $1 was tightening fees, and ...
... the rest was for consultancy.

Coming from a "software consulting" company I once believed as you do. The gig went south when they tried to turn me into a mindless droid.

Reminds me of the term "IBM PC Compatible".
IBM - we understood, was the name of a company.
PC - we thought we understood this 
Compatible - never really understood this - what was it compatible with?
|
|
|
|
|
With IBM PCs. Isn't it obvious?
(I guess this was claimed by IBM PC clones?)
|
|
|
|

Now, it seems obvious. But, back then, especially for a student like me, it wasn't obvious.
