IT Certifications: Do You Really Need Them?
The truth is, most small business prospects, customers and clients in computer consulting will not understand the meaning of IT certifications or the difference between different levels of certification.
The Meaning of IT Certifications to Clients
If you introduce a prospect or client to someone that has an entry-level certification and then send someone in the next week that has an advanced certification like an MCSE, your client will most likely not appreciate the difference. Your clients also won’t want to pay really high rates for senior levels of IT certification.
In the eyes of most sweet spot small businesses, senior-level IT certifications won’t matter; most of their projects will not be incredibly technical, and those that are can typically be subcontracted to other specialists.
What Is the Technology Curve?
Sweet spot small businesses don’t usually keep up with the latest in technology, so you don’t have to keep up with cutting-edge IT certifications and skills.
