Re: Direct Contract

[Bob Rowe]

** It is my experience that the larger customers in the DC--Baltimore--Northern Virginia area deal with companies they have "screened" or vetted one way or another. I found it difficult to get on their "approved companies" lists. Many wish to deal only with BMC/Remedy partners. Government agencies will very rarely deal with small, independent companies.

I attached myself to a local company that does nothing but consulting work; that is, no temp-to-hire. Life's been pretty good.

Does anyone have any suggestions for procuring Direct Contracts (especially
in Washington DC) for an independent Remedy Consultant?  It seems like the
bill rates to the customers are quite high, and I would rather not go
through a vendor.  Customers are demanding Remedy Consultants.  Remedy
Consultants would like to avoid vendors.  How do the two get together?  Do
sites like Hot Gigs work?  How do you advertise?  Word of mouth is great,
contacts are great, but it seems like there is always a vendor attached.

Please don't reply back about how Vendors are really worth the markup, I am
much more interested in how to bill customers directly through my LLC than
have the discussion go towards the relative value of vendors.
