| Or, perhaps it reads more
like legal drudgery. If that's the case, your computer consultant
contract needs a major upgrade.
The computer consultant contract is one of the best written tools
at your disposal to generate long-term customer relationships,
increase your profit potential, and build a solid business. Don't
lose out, by using anything less than the best agreement.
Answer the Questions
Try for a moment to place yourself in the customer's position. As
you do, relate it to your computer consultant contract. Make mental
notes of whether or not your current computer consultant contract is
truly a written testimony of the work you'll provide.
Does it adequately address the value and the potential
productivity you can bring their company? Does your computer
consultant contract define your cost and billing methods in a manner
that give your customer the feeling they are truly getting a good
deal?
Solve the Mysteries
In short order your customer wants to know
1) Why should I trust you to solve my computer issues?
2) Why should I trust you not to divulge confidential business
information to which you may have access as you perform your
services?
3) How do I know you are charging me fairly? And
4) How do I know you will consistently give me adequate service
in a timely manner?
If your computer consultant contract doesn't adequately address
these issues, you're setting yourself up for lost time, future
non-billable hours, and lost money.
Build Your Business
Keep in mind that it is much easier to work for previous
customers, than to have to cold call to keep your business afloat.
Building a long list of steady and stable repeat customers is the
goal.
A good computer consultant contract is the basic building block
for a professional, mutually profitable, and long-lasting
consultant/client relationship.
