Those nasty big boys in procurement are always trying to negotiate you down, or set up ridiculous payment terms, which means that you have to know what you are worth and why (back to your proposition + market knowledge). And stick to it. Sometimes you might lose an assignment but think about the opportunity cost. The right piece of work lands next sweden phone number library week and you’re committed for a minimum of six months on a duff day rate.
And don’t think of resigning from your assignment early to get more money. Big black mark. how connected we are and how much digging we do. It’s a buyer’s market and we want the best.
That’s it. Some dispiriting admonishments is the best I can do. If you still want to go solo with no doubts, I’m even more convinced you’re not right. It’s the doubts and the worry that make you a really good independent. And a fabulous skill set. Oh, and those key ‘right behaviours’.
