Overview

Becoming an independent consultant is a unique option for those looking for a role with a bit more flexibility than a traditional nine-to-five job. Independent consultants provide services to a variety of clients, rather than working for one establishment.

As an independent consultant, you get to be your own boss and choose your own hours, projects, and location. Instead of following commands from your employer, you can choose what types of projects you work on and the types of clients you serve. While this is definitely a pro to the job, it also requires some serious documentation and organziation on your end to keep your multiple client projects (past, present, and future) organized. 

This Client Priorities excel workbook gives independent consultants an HR List worksheet to easily record projects and tasks, hours remaining on a project, client prioritiy ratings, project status, completion %, client contact responsible for the project/task, and more. You can also record projects/tasks that have been identified but have not started yet. This is to ensure they do not fall in between the cracks, i.e. out of sight, out of mind! 

Also included is a Discussion Points & Questions worksheet to record important feedback/comments and questions for your clients. This includes any road blocks that you need your client's help to resolve.

Tips for working with the Client Priorities Spreadsheet

  • Focus on the "Red Hot" items that have a low completion percentage. Be honest and ask yourself what is impeding its progress. If you are losing bandwidth because you're pulled into other transactional HR tasks, consider bringing this up with your client.

  • "...In a small business, best HR practices are sometimes not implemented due to a lack of resources or HR knowledge. With ConnectsUs products, we were able to implement them quickly and easily."

  • I just wanted to write to say that ConnectsUs HR™ for Consultants is truly a gift. I've been searching for this type of support with other service providers with no luck. The templates and Resource Center you have created are so helpful, and provide a comprehensive menu of topics, best practices and well-written content that would have taken months to create from scratch.
