How are you going to accomplish every project? How are we going to get updates? We expect updates all the time so everyone is on the same page in case clients contacts us as well. 4. This firm must have a large team. This has to be a firm that has a working overhead payroll and several developers ready to fulfill these projects on a consistent basis. You cannot outsource projects to part time developers and/or other firms to keep up with the work, you must have all the resources in place to keep up with the pace. 5. This firm must have the ability to develop projects at an extremely low cost, however, an unbeatable quality for each and every client. 6. This firm must agree to a flat rate commission agreement with us on every project we forward to you. We will not be marking up the project to gain our profit, we will be making our profit from a flat rate commission agreement with you. This firm must agree to a flat rate commission of 25% or more or you will not be considered, there are plenty of firms who will agree to this. Also, firm will pay us the commission rate in the beginning, when the project begins, we will not wait any period of time for payment, this will be immediate. Payments must be made to us directly, not using any type of 3rd party service charging an outrageous fee.

This firm must have someone in both countries, USA and development office country to have the ability to make outbound calls and/or emails daily to close the deals and make them finalize when customers are a little unsure. 11. Honest and Reliable. An example of this would be... If a client does not understand website development and we close a project that he wants developed and the closing price is enough to use php, but your firm tries to make more money from them and use asp instead, this is terrible business and we will not tolerate this ever. This firm must give client honest assessment and give them the best technology, no cutting corners. 12.
