Tips for working with and hiring Consultants

Define your goals

Before reaching out to a consultant, ensure that you have a clear understanding of your project or business needs. This will help the consultant to provide targeted, effective advice.

Check their experience

Review the consultant's previous work and expertise. Make sure they have experience in the specific area you need help with, whether it's business strategy, marketing, financial planning, or another specialty.

Establish clear communication

Regular, open communication is key to a successful consulting engagement. Make sure you discuss your expectations, timelines, and deliverables up front and maintain ongoing dialogue throughout the project.

Make use of the Contra platform

Contra's platform makes it easy to manage contracts, payments, and communication all in one place. This helps keep your project organized and ensures a smooth working relationship.

The talent I find on Contra has been excellent. But aside from that, Contra’s community differentiates Contra from other freelancing platforms. I love the responsiveness of the Contra team, and how invested they are in your success. I actually pay freelancers I’ve found outside of Contra through Contra because I love the platform so much, especially that they don’t take a cut of your payment.

I used to waste hours trying to find talent. Switching to Contra was 10x on my time, energy and money as an Entrepeneur and Creator. Lauren was a perfect fit from day one, and I couldn’t have found someone of this calibor without Contra.
