How to Become a IT Consultant and Attract Great Clients

Many new IT consultants make the mistake of assuming that just because they have enough business today, they will have enough tomorrow, next month and next year.  This way of thinking can be the death of even the most seemingly thriving IT business.  You need to be diligently and regularly meeting new people through networking organizations and targeted marketing activities so you are prepared if one or more of your clients suddenly jumps ship, goes out of business or simply can’t work with you anymore.  Make time for marketing activities and follow-ups... now. Don't Rely on Co-Workers, College Buddies, Relatives or other Close Acquaintances. If you want to become a IT consultant, you need to be prepared to meet new people.  You can’t rely exclusively on contacts that have taken years, decades or even a lifetime to cultivate as you build your business.  While these people can be helpful in the beginning, they will not build a stable foundation for your business.  Branch out and focus on continuously building your network of potential clients and partners. When You Don’t Market, You're Threatening Your Company's Survival. Unless you have a never-ending supply of former bosses, former co-workers, college buddies, cousins or other relatives, you will sooner or later have to confront a harsh reality – you to be able to confidently and effectively market to strangers. You need to develop skills that will help you relate to people that don’t know you yet so you can continue to build a network that extends beyond just those that already know you.

The Importance of Product Assessment in a Law Job

The Importance of Product Assessment in a Law JobAuthor: Harrison BarnesThe Importance of Product Assessment in a Law Job A product is known by its qualities and can only be best used for what it is made for. As for example, you cannot use a room freshener instead of a deodorant because a room freshener is just made to freshen up the room and remove any bad odor from the room. You cannot apply it to remove the odor of your body. Similarly, you are a product; you possess some qualities and skills that can be applied to only a particular field and not at any other place. If you try to change yourself then it will do you no benefit. You will in fact be at a loss.
