Let's Go Shopping
$2500 - $7,500

A recent customer remarked: "It's like going meat shopping with a guy that was a butcher for 20 years but isn't anymore. You tell me what's a good buy, what to watch out for, which parts are rotten or good, and most importantly you know what to ask people and how to make sure I get what I am paying for."

That is a much better summary of what you get than I could write.

One other thing to know: Ross Lasley (and The Internet Educator, Inc.) has no financial relationship of any kind with any web services vendor. I am not part of any affiliate program nor do I accept any commissions of any kind - in this way you can be certain that the recommendations made are in no way influenced by these factors. To put it another way: with all due respect to salespeople the raw honest expert opinion that many Internet Entrepreneurs need can not possibly come from a salesperson.

It is my opinion that if you are going shopping and making a critical bet on the future well being of your business it is really important to have an expert that works for you directly, a person that is 100% on your side.

Figure Out What You Need = $2,500

This process begins with a careful needs analysis - which includes checking the business plan assumptions being made. I then put together a written report detailing your options along with my recommendations

• Needs Analysis
  • Needs list in three buckets: must have, good to have, it'd be nice to have.
  • Your functional and technical requirements
  • Technology Options
  • Overview of Technology Trends
  • Recommendations

Figure Out What You Need + Build the RFP & Help You Choose the Winner = $5,000

In addition to the needs analysis above I construct a Request for Proposal (RFP) and help you choose a vendor - this service makes lots of sense if you are considering a custom product or significant customization of an off the self product.

• Needs Analysis as Above
• Create a Written Request for Proposal (RFP)
• Help Distribute the RFP to qualified firms
  • Check the references and every assertion of candidates
• Review the responses in detail with as much or as little involvement on your part as you'd like

This is designed for folks that wants someone to take care of it all - think of this as a wee bit like an anti-anxiety drug for web technology purchases. I serve as your external project manager partner, assuring that you get exactly what you paid for and making sure the end product does precisely what it is supposed to do.
