Kurt: You gave me an idea. When we do business with a customer we put
together a contract. When we refer an IT person to a customer it is us
that is putting our reputation on the line on behalf of that IT person.
So I am going to draft a "Referral Contract." This contract will spell
out my requirements which must be met before referring them to my
customer. One of the requirements will be feed back and that way I can
determine if I want to use that person again.
I will post a rough draft here and if anyone has any ideas it will be
appreciated.
Thanks,
Jeff

OK - here's my thoughts on this -and its just a suggestion -not that I
have done it.
You could post an Ad on Craigslist - in the Gigs area - looking for
Freelances. Say that you are looking for independent people that do
this kind of work - and that you could then refer them to your
clients. And - when they contact you - ask for a list of references -
then call a few of them. This way - you could compile your own list of
local Techies who might fit the bill!

Some people are fortunate enough to have an IT person that they have
known for a long time that can get the job done, warranty their work,
and charge a reasonable amount. I have had several customers that
are not in that position and hire people that they hear about from
someone or another. $900 for running CAT five to two offices in a
small office and setting up a network printer. $900 for swapping out
a modem and a router and because they didn't set it up properly
charged for the return visit to fix it. These are just two
examples. I hired a guy to set up a server for me and ended up
firing him and doing it myself. Does anybody have any advise on how
to find a competent network / IT person in light of all of these
entremanuers?
