Collaboration Tips
Do you really need to go it alone?
A lot of folks think that being an independent consultant means you work alone – which is not true! You can choose to, of course, but the reality is that you can potentially make more money by working with others to provide a wider array of services to a potential client. The biggest issues in doing this well are finding good people with whom to associate; having clear expectations and structure; and agreeing on a fair split of the consulting fees.
By the end of our work together, you will have decided how you want to work with associates, learned how to invite them into your practice, and determined a fair way to negotiate and split compensation when working together for a client.
