Description

This series is for you if you are new to consulting or are thinking about starting your own consulting practice in the areas of training, e-learning, process improvement, or performance improvement.  

The series will explore issues like:

If I’m good at what I do, why do I need to worry about the business side of my business?
 

  • Why should I find a niche?  I like doing a lot of stuff and I’m more interesting getting paid.
  • Why should I worry about legal structure stuff?  I hire people for this.
  • What will insurance do for me?  What’s the difference anyway?
  • Contract! I didn’t sign up to be a lawyer.
  • I already have a network.  Why worry about marketing channels?

 

This session is about how contracts are structured and the implication of terms and conditions as they apply to operating a successful consulting practice. You will understand what your client’s procurement office is really wanting in its agreement with you and what you can negotiate.
