The difference is between thinking like a programmer and thinking like a consultant. A consultant provides what the client needs rather than trying to figure out how to apply their skill.
In this case, the OP's value add is coming up with a plan and implementing that plan. There's plenty of billable hours in customizing whatever package is chosen and a very high potential for a service contract.
- dmos62 3y agoThanks for the insights, useful. I came to the same conclusion regarding using some CRM platform. I'm a bit surprised I didn't think of that from the get go; might be because I was asked for a completely custom job initially. I've not yet decided on the approach, but currently I'm looking at Baserow[0] and Corteza[1]. I like Corteza's business model much more: allows it to be fully open-source, compared to Baserow's open-core.
