7 Essentials To An Independent Contractor Agreement

As a business owner, you often take on the roles of many people. You can find yourself working long hours and doing all of the work by yourself to keep your company afloat. When it gets so much that you can no longer keep up, it’s time to hire!

You’ll want to determine if the job you are hiring for is a contractor role or an employee role. You can learn the definitions on those here and get some additional advice here. 

If you are hiring freelancers or contractors an independent contractor’s agreement will help you outline the details of the work to be performed, terms of the agreement, compensation, and any additional important details. 

In today’s article, we will discuss the importance of a contractors’ agreement and some key components you may want to include when creating one*.

Statement of Relationship

This is the opening of the contract that discloses the parties the agreement is between. The Company name is indicated and from that point on, referred to as “The Company”. The Contractor’s name and his/her company (if applicable) is also indicated and referred to as “The Contractor” from that point on.

This piece of the agreement is extremely important to get right especially when it comes to the contractor being able to prove his or her work status. It protects against employee misclassification.

The contractor-client (Company) relationship is a business relationship, not an employer-employee one.

Scope of Work

This part of the contract highlights the work the Contractor will be doing for your Company. If there was an SOW (Statement of Work) drawn up (which is recommended), it would be included here.

Note: A Statement of Work (SOW) is a document within the contract that describes the scope of work and/or project being performed as well as performance expectations.

Payment and Billing Terms

This is an important part of the contract. Rates agreed upon should clearly be disclosed here along with the terms of billing and form of payment.

The rate of pay should have been discussed and agreed to ahead of time along with any commission rates (if applicable). For payment, it should be discussed with the Contractor how you would like to be invoiced and the payment dates.

Party Responsibilities

This part of the agreement applies especially if there are multiple departments involved within your Company that your Contractor will be performing work for or collaborating with. This is a good opportunity to present the review and approval process, set the standards of communication and to also have your Contractor provide proof of insurance.

Deadlines and Timelines

The Contract term (length) should go in this section of the agreement. If you don’t have one, it’s good to at least set a contract review/renewal date.

If this contract is for a project, the timeline or approximate timeline should be specified. If the project is large enough, milestones can be outlined as well. Clear goals and targets should be outlined. The more details you can include the better. This will ensure clear expectations and communication between yourself and your Contractor.

Termination

Not all agreements work out. Sometimes they have to come to a close. All contracts need to have a termination clause.

The termination clause offers the right for both parties to cancel. Reasons to end the contract should be clearly stated. Some considerations include nonpayment, breach of contract, and business disruption.

When considering the termination timeline most contracts can end with 30 days written notice from either side.

Non-Disclosure/No Compete Clause

Unless your contractor is designated to only working with you at the time of the agreement, having them sign a Non-Disclosure or No Compete clause might be difficult.

If they have more than one client, chances are, at some point, they might be working with your competitors.

You can, however, cater to the non-disclosure specifically in reference to the information you share with them about your company. 

Other Considerations

It’s always advisable to have a legal advisor review your contract before it officially falls into the hands of a Contractor. Once reviewed, it may be able to act as a template for future contract work as well.

? PPC Manager – Marketer & Strategist ?

? Hey all! 🙂

We’re looking for a new PPC manager to join our 100% remote team. We’re a digital marketing agency that helps conscious eCommerce stores grow profitably and change the world.

I. Why this position exists in our team: 

The PPC Manager is a key strategizer and a client-facing role. They are responsible for being the face of Key PPC and the point of communication with clients. They are also the leaders of each account and provide the strategy, insight and review process for the work completed. They provide direction for the junior PPC manager, review work and ensure that the account is performing favourably. They will also take part in the sales process, helping to audit and develop the initial strategy which they will present to the prospect in a proposal meeting. The goal here is to ensure that the Senior PPC Manager has the opportunity to begin building the relationship with the client early in the sales process so that the onboarding transition is as smooth as possible. While this role works closely with the junior PPC strategist, each client will have varying degrees of management. For some clients, the junior will be able to manage the entire account and the senior will only forward through emails drafted by the junior and conduct meetings with the client. For some clients, the senior will have much more ownership of the account, and be managing the account almost entirely on their own.

The Senior PPC Manager is a self-motivated communicator, strategist and team player that advances our goal of helping eCommerce stores make more money with PPC in the following ways:

  1. Communication with clients via email and video calls. The Junior assists significantly in drafting emails and helping create summaries to prepare for meetings.
  2. Creating campaign strategies for testing new ideas and opportunities
  3. Onboarding strategy creation
  4. Reviewing suggestions, changes and ad copy improvements made by the juniors
  5. Overseeing regular management work completed in the account (by themselves or juniors)
  6. Generating proposals and auditing accounts as part of assisting the sales team

III. Standards for the position: 

  • Self Motivation. A genuine desire to become an integral and important part of this team.
  • Be resourceful. Focus on solutions rather than problems.
  • Commitment. Demonstrate an understanding and commitment to Key PPC, our goals and what we stand for.
  • Initiative and forward-thinking. Before communicating with others we think through how it will be received and prepare as much as we can. E.g. before sending an email to the client we think about how can we reduce the work they will have to do from that email. Can we present the information in a more concise and understandable way?
  • Team player. Thinking of the whole and not putting yourself above others.

IV. Work requirements for the position: 

  1. Client communications
    1. Regular email communications with clients. Checking in when we have quick-wins, responding to their queries, requesting information or approvals
    2. Regular meetings with clients (usually once per month or less)
    3. Reviewing draft emails from juniors and providing feedback and areas of improvement
    4. Building the client relationship and becoming their trusted advisor
  2. Account management
    1. Account management for Google Ads, Bing and Amazon Ads
    2. Leading the strategy and implementation for the accounts managed
    3. Analyzing data and making optimizations based on the results
    4. Finding new opportunities and new strategies to test to improve results
    5. Conversion tracking setup and testing
    6. Recommendations for improving conversion rate optimization of websites
    7. Communicating changes to Junior PPC managers
    8. Reviewing and approving new ad copy and strategies recommended by Junior PPC managers
  3. Learning and training
    1. Learning new marketing skills, new platforms, new strategies and best tactics
    2. Being up to date with eCommerce happenings
    3. Training the Junior team members and assisting their growth
  4. Team meetings
    1. We only have 2 meetings per week and we try to combine these into one.
    2. Weekly huddle – the production team (the team at the core of  Key PPC) get an update on happenings at Key PPC, news, new leads, any improvements/changes to the management process and anything else topical. Usual time: 30 minutes
    3. Google Ads catchup – this is a training and quality meeting. We deep dive into some accounts and work together to look at how can we implement strategies to improve them. Sometimes the junior will just be presenting their own mini audit of an account. The goal here is communication and to make sure we’re accountable and on top of the work we’re doing. Usual time 30-60 minutes.
  5. Sales Proposals and Strategy Calls
    1. Creating audits and strategy proposals for new leads
    2. Presenting the proposal to the lead on the call with the sales team
    3. Building the relationship and demonstrate expertise early in the process and sales cycle.

VI. Behavioural Requirements for the position: 

The Senior PPC Manager is a dynamic position sitting between the client and the account. They are required to work in the account as well as articulating the work they do in the account into language the client understands. The Senior PPC Manager is an active and integral part of the Key PPC team exhibiting the following behaviour:

  • A well-balanced tendency towards both the task-oriented and human-side of working in an agency
  • Highly organized, disciplined, driven and energetic.
  • Honest. Is comfortable being honest with the client and team members even when it is not in their best interest. This means being open about mistakes, being open about areas of improvement.
  • Humble. Always being open to critical feedback, even when it is coming from a junior or another part of the business. Understanding that we are all learning, and the feedback we provide each other at Key PPC is never a personal attack, but because we all want to be better versions of ourselves.
  • Responsible. Taking responsibility for the account, the account’s results, and the results of other team members. You’ll be responsible for overseeing the junior and this means there are times where you will need to take responsibility for miscommunications and different decisions. Our default at Key PPC is ‘extreme ownership’ where leaders default to taking ownership themselves, taking responsibility themselves for actions, before blaming others.
  • Learning and improvement. Being hungry for more knowledge, more skills, more experienced, and more strategies under your belt.
  • Team player. We support each other and give each other the benefit of the doubt. We stand by our team and expertise and we don’t shift the blame when things go wrong. Our team members are often calling on other team members to look over strategies, results, tasks, to help each other succeed and improve.
  • Pays close attention to directions and knows when to check-in or ask for assistance. Exercises excellent judgment in determining what can and cannot be efficiently accomplished prior to receiving approval/direction.
  • Discrete and trustworthy with sensitive firm and client information.

If you have any questions about this role, please don’t hesitate to send me an email at sam@keyppc.com. I can’t wait to meet you! 🙂

Project Manager/Online business manager

Hello! I’m a physician and blogger growing an online membership community for people helping aging parents. My site also provides empowering health and aging information for older adults and family caregivers.

I have a popular blog getting plenty of organic traffic, a podcast, and am now working on growing the membership and other revenue-generating ways to serve my audience. We currently have over 200 paying members in our online membership.

We have a large and growing email list, an engaged audience of older adults and families, and terrific potential from both an impact and business growth perspective.

I already have a virtual assistant and a community manager.

I am now seeking to hire someone to fill the role of project manager and online business manager.

This is a role that I have been filling in the business, but I need to put someone else in this role so that I can focus on serving the audience and growing the business.

In this role, you will work collaboratively with me and take over the responsibilities related to figuring out how things get done, who is doing what, & making sure it all happens and stays on track.

You don’t need to be an expert in all aspects of online marketing, but you do need to LOVE doing the following:

  • Planning
  • Organizing
  • Coordinating
  • Prioritizing
  • Problem-solving
  • Managing and supervising

You should also be good at:

  • Documenting
  • Setting up, following, and improving routines and systems

You should have some familiarity with what it takes to run a small online business, and you should have experience using a project management platform (we use Clickup) to keep a small team on track.

If that’s you, and you’d love to be part of a mission-driven business making a big difference in people’s lives, please read on!

Our company’s core values include:

  • Compassionate service: We serve families and older adults with kindness, empathy, and respect.
  • Integrity and honesty: We do what we say we’ll do, and if we can’t, we renegotiate the commitment.
  • Conscientiousness: We do things well and we get the details right.
  • People before bigger profits: Serving our audience well and with integrity is more important than getting to bigger profits fast.
  • Commitment: We’re committed to our mission of helping others and making a positive impact in their lives.
  • Resourcefulness: We think outside the box and figure things out.
  • Growth mindset: We love to learn and see every day as an opportunity to grow.
  • Appreciation and gratitude: We cultivate appreciation, gratitude, and a positive approach to things.

The ideal person I’m looking for is:

  • Super organized & loves organizing tasks, projects, and teamwork
  • Likes managing others
  • Detail-oriented and conscientious
  • Honest, reliable, and trustworthy
  • Resourceful and able to figure things out
  • Able to coordinate others so that a job gets done
  • Efficient and gets things done
  • Kind to people in need
  • Never uses the phrase “that’s not my job”
  • Knows how to delegate effectively
  • Driven to help others and excited to work for a mission-driven website
  • Loves creating processes and systems for businesses
  • Able to get it and see the bigger picture of what we’re doing
  • An excellent learner and problem-solver
  • Good at verbal and written communication
  • Able to learn new online programs quickly
  • Eager to improve and welcoming of feedback

Required Skills and Experience:

  • Must have experience managing tasks and projects for a small team in Clickup (or a similar project management platform)
  • Must have experience hiring and managing virtual assistants and contractors
  • Must have experience with the basics of growing an online business (e.g. you know what is an opt-in form on a website, how email services work, what a launch is)
  • Experience either running your own online business or managing someone else’s online business is preferred

Bonus if you are particularly interested in aging, health, or family caregiving.

Job responsibilities:

Initially, your job will be to:

  • Develop a process for how we will plan the team’s work and execute on a monthly, weekly, and daily basis, using our project management platform, g suite, and other tools.
  • Help me review everything that we are currently doing in the business and reorganize it so that we can run things more effectively, with a special focus on freeing up my time and creating routines and processes.
  • Attend team meetings virtually and take responsibility for organizing follow up and next steps.
  • Take over supervising and delegating to our virtual assistant; hire additional overseas contractors as needed.
  • Take over the responsibility of maintaining our project management platform, including making sure any VA or contractor is using it appropriately.
  • Coordinate tasks and projects with our external expert contributors (or delegate this effectively to a virtual assistant overseas).
  • Improve our SOPs and templated tasks. Ensure we have clear documentation for the key recurring tasks and projects in the business.
  • Help to identify and track key performance metrics for the business.

Once we have gotten the organization and project management figured out and off my plate, if you are a good long-term fit for the company, we can consider having you work on other projects for the business, depending on what interests you and is a good fit for your skills.

Some projects the business needs to eventually address include increasing our traffic, growing our social media presence, developing partnerships, developing some new online products the audience is requesting, and more.

I am looking to work closely with someone who wants to really learn the business and take a major role in getting things done. I expect this work will initially take 15-25 hours per week, and I would strongly prefer to hire someone who doesn’t intend to juggle multiple projects or clients long-term.

This position is probably not for you if you:

  • Are looking for a side-job while you grow your own business
  • Have a lot going on already and don’t have the time and focus to really dive in
  • Need to frequently change your schedule
  • Get overwhelmed easily or who let anxiety affect their job performance
  • Lack patience with people or who aren’t open to feedback
  • Struggle in environments where we’re often trying something new for the first time

Work Details:
Our team works virtually and you will be working from a remote location of your choice. I prefer that you be located in Pacific Time Zone or Mountain Time Zone, to facilitate overlap with my own work hours.

I do most of my work between 9a-5p Pacific, while my children away at school. You will need to have some significant overlap with my schedule on most days of the week.

Because I am looking for someone to work closely with me (especially at first) to really understand the business and help me restructure my own personal workload and how the business is run, I expect the job will take 15-25 hours/week during the first three months.

Work-life balance is very important to me! Generally, I don’t work evenings or weekends and I don’t expect my team to do so. That said, everyone is expected to step up during a launch (we have two more planned for this year) and some weekend work might be needed during launches and other special events.

This will initially be a three-month temporary contract position, with the possibility for a longer-term contract based on performance and fit with the company.

For the right person, there will also be the possibility of increasing the hours, the compensation, and/or converting the position to an employed long-term position, as the business grows and if you demonstrate that you are an excellent long-term fit.

You must be legal to work part-time as a 1099 contractor in the U.S.

Compensation:
We will negotiate your initial hourly rate based on your prior experience and current relevant skillset, and it should take into account that I’m proposing a fairly consistent 15-25 hours/week ongoing. If you’re proposing to ask for a higher hourly rate, I will want to know if you’ll consider a lower rate for an initial trial period of at least 4 weeks. I am willing to pay more once someone has demonstrated they are a good fit for the company and can work well with me.

How to apply:
To apply for this position, please:

1. Complete my online application form at https://forms.gle/W7S1avPcxat1hfBw9

2. Record a short (3-5 min) video introducing yourself, telling me which aspect of this job opportunity appeals to you the most. Please also briefly describe how you like to keep track of what needs to be done every week and every day.

3. Submit the following (by emailing jobs@betterhealthwhileaging.net):

  • A cover letter including:
    1. Why you’re interested in working with my business in particular
    2. What appeals to you about this role in particular and why you think you’d be good at it
    3. Any experience you have with small online businesses
    4. A link to the video you recorded for me
  • Your resume

Please note that due to the many demands on my time, I will only be responding to applicants who complete all the steps above.

If you aren’t able to take the time to submit the requirements above before suggesting we connect, then you probably aren’t the right person for this position.

Thanks for your interest in this position, I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
