2, personality quality (pay attention to commitment, don't lose faith in others, have patience and tolerance)
1) Be good at communication and coordination, and pay equal attention to "pro-prestige": Consultants need to establish an equal relationship with customers and grasp the principle of "win-win", and they need to show good affinity and sufficient prestige.
2) Self-motivated, passionate, and go all out to pursue dreams: consultants sell "wisdom", which is very challenging. They need to have a positive attitude and insatiable passion, persistent spirit and determination to go all out.
3) A high sense of responsibility: In the face of all kinds of "entrepreneurs", consultants must have a sense of responsibility for objective and scientific estimation and judgment of customers, company brands, consulting programs and project risks, so they need to be able to establish a strategic position and pay attention to practical details.
4) resolute and down-to-earth style: the consultant's work is project operation, with a strong sense of rhythm, clear start and end time, and needs to be efficient and result-oriented. However, high efficiency cannot be an excuse for low quality, and consultants need a down-to-earth work style to ensure the smooth progress of the project as planned.
5) Teamwork spirit: The consulting activity is an intelligent dialogue and knowledge exchange with the top management of the enterprise, and it is also an intelligent collision activity between the project team of the consulting company and the client on the basis of knowledge sharing. A successful project often needs the complementarity and tacit cooperation between consultants, as well as frank communication and empathy with customers. None of this can be done independently by individual heroism, and it needs to be based on teamwork.
6) Innovative spirit: Although consultants will receive a series of professional training, including various models and methodologies for analyzing and solving problems, in the face of new problems, we need to put forward practical solutions for customers with innovative spirit, and it takes a period of accumulation to summarize and develop more reasonable and scientific analysis models in time.

An excellent consulting report should not only cover a lot of information, but also have clear analysis ideas and conclusions, which requires consultants to have clear ideas, complete logic and well-founded reasons and opinions.
1) Compound knowledge structure and professionalism: As a consultant, you need to have deep professional skills and practical experience in one or two professional fields, and your knowledge structure is relatively broad, such as management, finance, economy, strategy, finance, statistics, marketing, human resources and information systems. In addition, you need to dabble in some humanities, such as sociology, psychology, philosophy, literature and so on.
2) Fast learning ability: The biggest feature of consulting work is the need to keep in touch with new industries and companies and face new problems at all times. Therefore, consultants need to have the ability to fully understand the customer industry and customers themselves by using structured thinking logic in a short time.
3) Good communication skills, writing skills and expressive skills: Consultants need to build up enough trust in front of customers, be able to clearly express their own logical ideas, and fully present consulting conclusions and solutions, because they can convince customers, support and recognize your solutions.
