Attendees will gain practical tools for managing a consulting business whether you are a sole proprietor or have employees/subcontractors. You will learn what is absolutely essential in running a small business or independent consultancy and what is not required.

  • Assessing projects, bidding appropriately, managing expenses and bringing projects to a successful close.
  • Providing prospective clients with what they need to award you with an engagement over other competitors.
  • Developing prototypes, project plans and proposals.
  • Tracking projects, expenses, income and project scope.
  • Dealing with overruns and staying on budget and making money with every contract.
  • Dealing with partners and subcontractors and making sure that these relationships work for you.
