AUTHENTICITY
1 Manage expectations, this is what you
can do, can’t and will not do.

UNDERSTAND THE RULES

2 Never assume, either create a


standard contract, or a client will
always have their own contact.

READ TH E CONTRACT

3 If you do not understand it, finds


someone that does.

• Contracts are meant to
work for both the provider
and the receiver of the
service/products

• Each should be clear about


what can and cannot be
provided over acceptable
period of time.

• Be careful
• Unacceptable time
expectations
• The fees are too low
• Guarantees and
warranties are
unreasonable

You know when a relationship is not working
(sometimes broken) when each side keeps
referring to the contract.
When this happens, the trust and
communication has broken down – my
question to you ‘is the work worth it’?

Literally, a promise to
provide services or goods, Depending on your jurisdiction,
at a price within a time there are legal and commercial
frame. Those goods and remedies (solutions) it either
services also are expected party is not satisfied with the
to fulfill the requirements of others performance
the clients specifications.

Please see the previous slides if


you want to avoid the above
situation!

A company will request a proposal
for goods / services.

The proposal may be to you or


advertised to the market place.

The proposal will specify the type,


performance, reliability (to name a
few!) of the services/good required.

These elements of the proposal


often form the main parts of a
contract if you are successful.
