You have to be an expertise in the area you provide your consulting service. Other than that, you need good communication skills, problem solving skills, people skills, and time management skills.

I urge people to read through the comments so that we are engaging constructively, I believe most of the things that are being said here have been listed already and it makes no sense to single select one or two skills and expect a quality conversation will build from this.

Most of the skills highlighted in the previous comment will help one become a good consultant. Such as those listed below.
  • They should be Creative thinking.
  • They should be Thinking conceptually and practically.
  • They should have the Problem-solving ability.
  • They should Communicating clearly and empathetically.
  • They should Collaborate with all job levels.
  • They should be Organized and have time management.
  • Thay should have a Curiosity.
  • They should be Credible.
However, it is important to note that building credibility and branding is key. When people start to have trust in you then just know that good word is spreading about you and in no time you are going to start seeing engagements and clientele base growing.

To be a consultant, you must be an authority in the field you are consulting on. You must also be able to impart to others. You must be patient to tolerate novices who you are giving direction and mentorship.
