What do you do? What kind of work did you sell?

Agile and tech implementation

You’re going to need some pretty airtight T’s & C’s in you contract... risk exposure could bankrupt the company if you’re not careful.

Get a proper MSA doc and SOW template. Some business insurance and an accountant.

That and your brain are all you need to get rolling. Hire contractors while selling projects and only worry about HR and FTE after you’re at 90% to close on a long term services retainer

Thanks Sapient - do I need a lawyer to draft the MSA?

If I was a junior on a team during a campaign launch, is that something I can put in my book? I helped during the concepting phase, was responsible for keeping the boards up to date, and wrote a lot of the supporting materials (print, social etc) but obviously I was not on the shoot or the lead on writing the script. As long as I’m clear about my role is that acceptable?

Any craft beer brewers here?
