TechNet webcast on “Getting Started in IT Consulting”
August 19, 2009 8 Comments
Later today, I’m presenting a free Microsoft Thrive! TechNet webcast on how to get started in Information Technology consulting. If you have the expressed goal or the suppressed desire to become an independent consultant, this webcast is designed to help your create a clear transistion strategy from full-time employee to full-time IT consultant.
I’ll discuss:
- The many hats of a consultant
- Strategies for minimizing risk
- Setting up your business
- How to handle sales
- Low cost promotions
- Some best practices
Much of the information comes from my “The Rational Guide to IT Consulting” book published by Rational Press.
I hope you’ll join me for this event. To register, visit the TechNet Event Registration page.

Joe, I really enjoyed this presentation. Will it be available for viewing/listening later as well?
Thanks Tim! I’ve been told that the same URL will work. It will (soon if not already) redirect to a recorded copy of the presentation.
