Map the responsibilities of your own business
List what you do today and what your employer organises: marketing, administration, software, availability and file checks. In your own business, each task needs an owner.
Identify your strengths and support needs. Experience in negotiations does not necessarily mean experience in budgeting or building a marketing plan.
Prepare the transition and your first instructions
Choose a region and describe how you will build new relationships. Plan local visibility, introductory conversations and follow-up. Existing contacts and data are not automatically available to your new business.
Map personal expenses, business costs and your start-up period. Review existing commitments before setting a date and seek appropriate advice on obligations.
Discuss responsibilities with OSM
Bring your experience, region and plan to an introduction. Ask which support and tools fit your work and what you will organise independently.
OSM works without a non-compete clause because we believe in our services and tools. We discuss other terms, prices and contributions in the brochure and meeting.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need a start date before meeting OSM?
No. You can meet us while exploring your options. Timing depends on preparation and the arrangements you make.
Can I bring my existing clients?
Do not assume this. Have your existing agreements and the handling of client information assessed before taking action.
