Consultants: how do you get clients to implement?

[Iqen]

Probably the number one complaint I've heard from consultants is getting their clients to actually implement what's been taught to them.

And to be fair to the small business owners, they have good intentions, but things just get in the way, or perhaps the fear of implementing also causes hangups.

One solution I've heard for the consultant is to follow the Alan Wiese "advice only" model. It's certainly an option, but I also want to investigate ways to improve follow-through and execution. Anyone have some good recommendations?

I cannot recommend this book personally but it has excellent reviews: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005FLODJ8/?tag=tff-amazonparser-20
