But They Are Manageable. ZDTMs require only a few key skills. First, you need to be a good project manager. For SMB projects, this is a skill you can learn very quickly.

Third, you need a process that is repeatable and profitable. That means staying inside the scope of work. It also means you have to quote the job properly!

Growing your business is fun -- but it's also difficult. One of the biggest challenges is maintaining profitability. That's particularly true with projects. One- and Two-person shops have enough challenges with projects. As you grow, you have three more:
- First, the sales people have to be in sync with the tech team. You need to make sure you're selling the right services and the right projects. That means you need a sales process. We'll show you how to get started.
- Second, your sales people need to manage the project handoff to the tech team. All the promises need to be written down, measured, and delivered. Once again, a great process guarantees a perfect project!
- Third, tech team members need to be able to work together without creating rework or dropping anything. And again, you're back to having the right process.
This is NOT just another seminar. You'll walk away with proven processes and procedures to make your company more profitable as you grow!
Now, in this special bundle, you get two audio CDs, plus a third CD with all of the slides and handouts!
