Snapshot of Last Night's Subcontractor Q&A Call.
Posted 02-17-2010 at 10:50 AM by hbplifestyle
As many of you were aware, we had our monthly Subcontractor's Q&A call with Sue Canfield last night.
Our questions were focused on "What contractors look for in a sub." A brief summary of the questions asked were:
1. Have you hired subcontractors? Do you have any lined up now?
2. What skills do you look for in a subcontractor?
3. Would you choose someone with some sort of certification over experience?
4. Are there any other things you look for in a sub?
5. Do you require your subs to sign a contract?
6. What do you expect as far as a sub's availability and turn around time?
7. Do you base your decision on hiring a sub by what rate they should charge?
8. What does a sub show to a contractor by having a website?
9. How do you look for subs. Through networking, applications, word of mouth or direct contacts?
10. Do you require a long term committment or a project base relationship. Do other contractors do the same?
Each month an advisor of a multi-VA firm or someone who has hired subcontractors will be available to answer questions on a topic of their choice. Please remember, to get a free copy of the recording you must register for the event that is found on my site. http://softwaresavvysub.info/subcontractors If you join my list you will be notified when the call is open for registration.
Both contractors and subcontractors will benefit listening to the call. It's a great way to network. You can get answers to questions you've always been curious about to start subcontracting or hire a subcontractor yourself.
