Book For Informix People
Posted in 1995
Topics: Jobs, Consulting & Announcements
People who are proficient in Informix have a unique opportunity to work independently as a contract consultant. For most, doing contract work will result in a significant increase in income. Others, especially those with children or other responsibilities, prefer the more flexible work schedule. There are also those who seek to work out of their home. However, it is not get-rich-quick by any stretch of the imagination. Starting an independent consulting business is not the easiest thing in the world but it's absolutely doable by most technically skilled people. Finding clients and knowing how to conduct oneself in face-to-face sales situations are the two most difficult tasks for most people. Those who want to work through brokers or agents can do so, but they have to know how to negotiate so the agent doesn't end up with all the money. With respect to face-to-face sales, it is not like job interview. You must be in control and direct each "scene" of the play. You're equal, not subservient to the client. With agents, there are many contract pitfalls, such as the "you're not paid until we're paid" clause you must be aware of and be able to negotiate around. Our publishing company has a 320 page title on the subject of technical consulting. With respect to the non-commercial nature of this group, we do not mention title, price or availability.
