Quick answer: More work!

What I need are some specifics. David has graciously allowed me to cross-post this on both the Midrange and Consult400 lists. My question is this:

What things could Common provide to consultants in the IBM i services space that would assist you in building your business? Web site hosting? A consultants page at common.org? Discounts on things like WebEx hosting? Mailing list access? And ... ?

During the last Common Board of Directors strategy and planning meeting (of which I am a member) the idea surfaced that perhaps Common could assist consultants with marketing or managing their business. I agreed to pursue the topic. I would appreciate all and any ideas. The hope is that Common could offer a package of services that would be both beneficial and economical. As a consultant myself, I am always on the lookout for additional opportunities.

If you have ideas you'd like to share please send your replies off list to me directly pete@xxxxxxxxxx and make sure that "IBM i Consultants" is in the subject (or just reply to and change the email address) so that the email can make it through my Spam filter.

Thanks for your input!
