So now you have read my five-part series and learned my business secrets. Here are two next paths you can take – a) Start Your Consulting Business b) Hire Me as Consultant. Let us discuss both of them quickly.
Start Your Consulting Business
When I started y own consulting organizations, I was very much worried and I had no idea how to get anything done. Actually, I had many questions. Let me repeat some of the questions:
- How to find potential customers or leads?
- How to send invoices?
- What should be the format of Statement of Work (SOW)?
- How to receive money from international clients?
- How to schedule a meeting?
- What tool should I use for remote meetings?
- How to manage credits and debits?
- What kind of software and hardware I should invest in?
- How to respond to hot, warm and cold leads?
- … and many more…
I am sure you will have all such questions but trust me those are just one time questions. Once you figure things out you can start flying. If you ever need help with any of those questions, you can always reach out to me and we can schedule an hour of time and I will be happy to help you with all of your questions.
Only one condition: You must prove to me that you are serious about starting your consultation and I will be happy to share all the further secrets.
Hire Me as Consultant
Now that you have read how I run my consulting business. If you ever face the SQL Server Performance Tuning issue and want to hire a consulting, you can reach out to me. However, I will work within the boundaries of the following parameters:
