Digital Contractor Management

Navigating the digital landscape with confidence is not accessible for everyone. You probably are an expert in your field, but it’s easy to feel like the scarecrow in the following field. The goal of digital contractor management is to have a friend and translator in your corner.

Introduction

Making Digital Agreements Understandable

There are a lot of items in a website development contract. Sometimes, they sound like a foreign language. The mix of technical jargon and high dollar investment can make anyone uncomfortable.

What I seek to provide:

  • Empowering clients to make informed decisions without getting lost in tech speak.
  • Understand the contractor's responsibilities and yours, too.
  • Identify potential liabilities in clear terms.
  • Offer insights on reasonable costs and timelines for the industry.
  • Provide guidance on possible adjustments or clarifications.
  • Ensure you're confident and informed before signing.


Elements of a Buyer Persona

Creating RFPs and Reviewing Proposals

Whether you're putting out a Request For Proposal (RFP) or assessing incoming proposals, it's essential to ensure clarity, value, and alignment with your goals. The following are areas I can aid you with during this process.
Drafting comprehensive RFPs that clearly outline the scope, objectives, deliverables, and expectations. A well-defined RFP attracts the right vendors and ensures they have all the necessary information to submit a competitive proposal.
Assessing incoming proposals not just based on cost but on the alignment with project objectives, vendor experience, proposed timeline, and potential value delivered.
Leveraging industry knowledge to help negotiate the best terms, prices, and conditions with the selected vendor.
Ensure all technical terms and requirements in the RFP are well-defined so potential vendors know what's expected, eliminating any ambiguity.
Identifying potential risks or gaps in proposed solutions, ensuring that the selected vendor is well-suited to handle unexpected challenges or changes in the project scope.
Providing constructive feedback to great vendors that are not selected, fostering positive relationships and potential future collaborations.

Working with Jacob has been an absolute game-changer for me as an independent artist. He's hands down, one of the most organized, reliable, and approachable professionals I’ve ever collaborated with. Jacob has a unique gift for taking complex concepts—like SEO, website design, and user experience—and breaking them down into clear, actionable steps that feel accessible. What sets Jacob apart is his generosity—not just with his time and resources, but with his genuine desire to understand your work and help you grow. Thanks to him, I now feel empowered to manage my website and approach SEO with confidence. If you’re an independent artist looking to elevate your online presence, working with Jacob is an investment worth making.

Before working with Jacob and his peeps I didn't know what a game changer having a solid SEO and digital marketing strategy would be. Prior to our collaboration, incoming calls and web inquiries were scarce, now we are delighted to receive a mix of over 120 emails and calls each month. Many of the new inquiries transition into long-term client relationships. Jacob's professionalism and extensive marketing knowledge have been invaluable. I highly recommend.
