I've been hired as a consultant for a NY based company in which I sit in on the meetings between this company and the web design company. The idea was for me to offer my 'expert' advice to aviod them being snowballed. Now we had our third meeting and the way the company operates is a bit funny to me. The companies business practices are different then mine, but thats understandable. Their a company while I'm a college kid who can draw. What really bothers me about the situation is the company structure. At all three different meetings a different representitive has meet with me and the client. To make matters worse they had no previous knowledge of past meetings, so each meeting was as if it was the first. I've tried several times to get in touch with the company. I first called the first representitives cell phone but it didn't exist. Then after calling the company I was passed around for a while and finally given to someone else that I've never spoken to. The guy was completely clueless as to who my client or I was, not only that but NO ONE knew who either of us were. The problem is, their work is very good. This is my first job as a consultant and the last thing I want to do is get my client involved in a company that has shady business practices. I also don't want to show my inexperience by plugging myself. These guys are a fairly big web design company and I did hint that I would be very happy designing this website but the boss kind of played it off as though he wanted it to be handled by a more well known designer. I have to admit I was a tad offended, but I'm 19 making $135 an hour negotiating on behalf of my client, so I wasn't that offended. They know I'm inexperienced, but the also know I'm pretty good at what I do. I don't want to come off as some inexperienced kid because I have a great oppurtunity here to make some better money down the line. Would I be better off suggesting another company that I have worked with and know a little bit better? This is going to be a fairly expensive project requiring many many man hours. I don't want to intrust it to a company that doesn't remember meeting with me three times. Maybe I'm being to defensive, I mean why should the company know who I am. I haven't done anything worth bragging about, but they should still know who the company is, right? Grrrr being inexperienced sucks. Advice please? :sigh: -Jestah Cell [url=http://faq.ozoneasylum.com/FaqWiki/shownode.php?id=277]277[/url] Loading...
