Many people in the world of IT with around a decade of experience seriously consider taking up IT consulting as a career option. Why shouldn’t they, they have the necessary expertise and the experience they have collected over the years. They have the perfect opportunity in IT consulting to put their skills and abilities to the best use. Before you embark on that journey however, you should know certain facts about it. Here are 5 things every IT Consultant should know.
1. You Sell Only Your Knowledge: As an IT consultant, you may charge for a wide array for services but in the end, clients are looking to get just 1 thing from you and that is your knowledge.
2. Good Things Cost More: Pricing is vital in any freelance work and in IT consultingone can easily be taken for the ride without proper market research about pricing. If your work is more valuable than others, then price it right to show its true value.
3. Don’t negotiate directly with your clients: In fact, we can safely even go on to say don’t talk money with your customers ever. Even if you are a new consultant, have somebody (lawyer, former colleague, wife, husband, neighbor, even a random stranger) to handle the monetary aspect of it.
4. Take in Account all Your Expenses: Even if you charge just for the hours of your work make sure it has taken into account your travel, accommodation, and other expenses as well.
5. Don’t ever say no to a project: Sometimes you might be too occupied to take up a project. In that case you don’t have to say no, you can just raise your free probably to an absurd amount. So even if your client insists, you will make a lot more money doing it.
