I Understand.

You might be combing the Internet, scanning various professionals, and asking your colleagues for referrals. When selecting someone to work with, consider these three factors:

Vibe

Your vibe attracts your tribe, and vice versa. Fit plays a massive part in working together and is a good predictor of a fun and collaborative experience. When you read their website, have they struck a chord with your pain points and desired gains? Are they creative, savvy, and curious? Curiosity is essential as you want to find someone willing to learn as much from you, your work, and your organization as you will learn from them.

Background

Is your selected expert seasoned — or are they fresh off the launch of their inaugural website? Do they possess a wealth of positive feedback — or merely an isolated commendation from their sister’s friend’s brother’s uncle? Seek validation and trustworthiness through client praises, demonstrated client achievements, a showcased portfolio or case studies, and education in their field.

Process

So, you think you’ve found someone with a great combination of experience sprinkled with a complementary vibe? Still, before you sign a deal, it’s essential to understand and determine if you’re comfortable with how they do their work. Are they delegating to others who might be less experienced or perhaps overseas? Will they only communicate via email? Telephone conversations? Video calls or in-person meetings? Is their billing based on hourly rates, project-based fees, or retainer? How frequently will you receive status updates? A seasoned professional can clearly explain their process and work approach.
