Look for someone who knows all the tools in Google Apps, like Gmail, Google Drive, and Google Calendar. They should have experience managing projects, meeting deadlines, and working with teams using these tools. It's also great if they have worked with people in different industries, proving they're adaptable.
How do I ensure the expert understands my project needs?
Share a detailed project brief that includes all your goals and expectations. Ask the expert to explain how they plan to use Google Apps to achieve your goals. Clear communication helps you know they understand your needs fully.
What should be included in the agreement with a 'Google Apps' expert?
The agreement should list all the tasks they will do using Google Apps. It should have deadlines for each task and how you will know when a task is finished. This helps both you and the expert stay on track.
How can I verify the expert's skills?
Ask for examples of past work and projects they've done using Google Apps. Check for reviews or references from other clients. You can also ask them to show you a demo of how they use Google Apps to solve a problem.
How can I set clear deliverables with the expert?
