Should You Support Your Own System? Print E-mail

Sample Sales Flow ChartMost clients are faced with deciding how much of their system they are realistically capable of supporting on their own.

We have found that the best way to service companies is to provide a balance between doing the high learning curve material quickly for you, but training a member of your staff on material that allows you to be functional and self sufficient on the job. We won't hold back information from you. We'll teach you as much as you want to know. See our training section for more detail on our training approach.

Your objective is to get the project completed as quickly and cost effectively as possible. Our objective is the same.

Flate Rate vs. Hourly Print E-mail

Although much of our consulting and training projects are done hourly, there are times when a flat-rate model can be desirable. Certain projects or sub-components of a project can be set to a flat-rate model after sales assement time or billable scope time.
