  3. Agree the deliverables, timeline and price for each phase before work starts.
  4. Ask for two or three references from clients of your size and industry, and call them.
  5. Get the scope, response times and price in writing before you sign, including how you leave and get your data back.

  • Do you receive commissions from any vendor you might recommend?
  • What will we receive at the end of the project?
