The 411 You Need To have a HOT Summer as a Consultant

Hey Consultants,

As we approach the summer season, it's important to remember that this time of year can present unique opportunities and challenges for your consulting business. Here are some tips and tricks to help you make the most of these sunny months with Ourly benefits:

1. Embrace the season – Summer is a great time to contact your former consulting clients and perm-hire employers. Reach out to them to let them know when you're available for a new project. Staying connected with your contacts can be immensely beneficial for finding relevant job opportunities!
2. Plan your vacations wisely – Taking time off is essential for rejuvenation, but be strategic to avoid leaving clients in the lurch. Coordinate with your clients to determine a time that works for both parties. Ourly consultants can earn up to 15 days of PTO per year and can carry over time from year to year as well. This way you can take time off without compromising your overall income.
3. Stay focused – With summer activities and distractions, losing focus on your business can be easy. Instead, set goals for the summer and create a daily routine that focuses on achieving those goals. This will help ensure you're making the most of this season without sacrificing business productivity.
4. Refresh your operations – Let the clients you reconnect with know that Ourly is your preferred choice for contract engagements. Not only can you maximize your income and benefits on the Ourly.io platform, your client could save up to 38% compared to bill rates from outdated temp staffing firm rates. It's a win/win for you and the client!
5. Keep communication channels open – With the added flexibility of working remotely, ensuring everyone on your team is always on the same page is essential. Utilize virtual tools to stay in touch with your clients, partners, and colleagues.
