Local consultants. Hire a local engineering firm or PR firm or attorney as a representative to do the handholding. You hire someone who knows all the right folks with a good rapport and a grasp of the technicals. Even paying someone who normally charges $400/hr for a few weeks of work who has the right contacts can reap rewards. You can structure those consultants with a lower base rate and a commission upon success.
- bobberkarl 6y agoThe problem is, in smaller cities, the local consultants are your competition. They are the one providing the cities with decade old technologies and ugly U.I./U.X. Truth is, and i can't stress it enough, you are a 100% right. If you can find someone to cooperate with after you already beat him at the public bidding process, you did 90% of the personal relation work.
