5 Challenges ICs Have in Building Relationships with Enterprise Clients

Building relationships with enterprise clients is one of the most important factors needed for an independent consultant’s success. In this webinar, MBO Partners selected two of their associates as their guest speakers. They are consultants that depend on their large enterprise clients to practice their profession and build their brand. 

The guest speakers, David Shekari, Senior Project Electrical and IT Engineer at ENERCON Services, and Robert Weber, Senior SAP Technology Specialist at ILM Focus, shared their experiences with real clients and revealed the struggles that they faced. They also discussed the top five challenges that most independent consultants experience while doing business with enterprise organizations. 

In this webinar, you will learn:

  • The challenges of the hiring process and displaying the right skill set 
  • Why back-and-forth collaboration is great in negotiations
  • What factors should be kept in mind when it comes to contract negotiations
  • How important is flexibility when working with ICs

This Q&A-styled discussion also covered:

  • The possibility of consultants having responsibilities similar to a full time job in a company
  • The advantages of working on a “hourly plus expenses” basis versus a “fixed price and deliverable” basis
