Snapshot of Subcontractor Q&A Call
Posted 03-10-2010 at 12:29 PM by hbplifestyle
As many of you were aware, we had our monthly Subcontractor's Q&A call with Danielle Cuomo last night.
Our questions were focused on "Why selling yourself and communication is so important as a subcontractor " A brief summary of the questions asked were:
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.
