more than 32 Hours per week of work (Mon AM & Fri PM
typically travelling).
Travel Time between Consultant City & Client City:
Payable by client at half the hourly working rate. (Neither
client nor contractor wiling to pay all wasted time.)
Air Flight Costs Business rates as clients schedules
preclude finding tourist rates. Minimum weekly flights, or
for days clients require visits. Trains usually less
practical. Choice of planes or trains is at Consultant
discretion, Not clinet or agent.
Remote Consultancy From Munich Office:
Once consultant understands technical requirements of
client, consultant reduces working presence in London/
Berlin to part time, doing most development in Munich
office, at a somewhat cheaper rate with no expenses, &
as no travel, more work done, typically 40 hours per week.
Transport Costs In Client City Airport/ hotel/ client
office taxi/ train as appropriate. ( Agent to offer estimate
of what consultant needs to charge, as agents often keep
client locations secret, & only agents know geography
between airport, client & hotels & London &
Berlin conurbations are huge.)
Hotel Costs:
Business rates, clients schedules preclude tourist rates.
Agents alone know client location, what other local events
may affect hotel occupancy & transport, all unknown to
consultant (eg Munich Oktoberfest & Hanover Computer
Fair occasionally book out all hotels for 100+ Km radius).
If agents don’t know their own city, they should find
an estimate eg here http://www.booking.com (unlike most,
bookings often flexible): No flat rental as project &
rental termination/renewal dates mis-match, & it takes
months to find a flat, & consultant should be working,
not wasting time.
Foreign City Nightly Allowance:
Cost of a cheap pizza alone does Not compensate business
trips in foreign cities, alone & bored, meal followed by
drink at pub or finding a cinema etc + transport. All major
employers financialy compensate employees who have to
travel, above the price of hotel + meal, & I require
comensurate compensation.
Contracts:
I’m a professional, contracting & negotiating 30
years since 1985. I’m fully aware of agent ploys that
delay & deter business agreement, so don’t try, it
wastes mutual time & reduces trust.
Contract Terms:
Contracts must be balanced to satisfy both sides, or are Not
signed. I do reject contracts with un-balanced terms.
Client’s & agents’s requirements &
contract terms do Not out rank consultant’s. If you
offer contract terms, they are treated as first draft for
negotiation, If I offer you contract terms, treat them
similarly. It encourages both sides to offer reasonable
terms for quick acceptance, not adventurous one sided terms.
(Managers often don’t realise when they foolishly let
their lawyer provide a first draft to a contract, the lawyer
often seeks to prove lawyer’s worth, by over- securing
employer’s interest too much at the expense of the
other party, delaying business when other party to the
contract rejects unbalanced terms.)
