Partner Registration

The first step in becoming a Consulting Partner is to complete the electronic registration form below. This will tell us who you are, where you are located geographically, and how we can get in touch with you. And of course an essential part of the registration process is for us to begin getting to know about the background, experience and skill specialties of you or your company.

Our philosophy about skill sets may be a little different than you have run into before. We have listed these in broad categories, so that if you or your company are in the right ball park, you will be notified whenever an opportunity arises. Then, when we talk to you about it, you can decide whether or not the opportunity is a fit for you or your company. In other words, forget trying to keep a database of everything you ever did or would like to do, which is a moving target at best, we let you decide whether an opportunity is right for you or your company.

After we review your registration information, you will be contacted by the Exchange either by telephone or e-mail. If it looks like a fit, we will need to know as much as possible about your or your company's experience and qualifications before we can begin referring you to clients. Then, after you are approved as a provisional Consulting Partner, we will begin to notify you about pertinent project opportunities by telephone or e-mail, so you can contact the Exchange to learn more specifics about these opportunities and sign up for the ones which interest you.

If you would like, go ahead and print out the Consulting Partner Agreement, complete pages one (1) and four (4) and fax those pages to the Exchange at (770) 479-6170. But this is not required until the time comes when you see a project you or your company are interested in pursuing. But some people prefer to get the paperwork out of the way when it isn''t a critical time, and it doesn't cost anything to sign up.
