Duncan Erasmus: being a profitable web developer
Duncan Erasmus is the Director of Creative Business Solutions, a consulting company specializing in cost reduction analysis. Coming from a strong, business orientated background, Duncan constantly assists his clients in applying sound business principles, by preparing business-wide reports. These reports work to reduce regular expenses by both lowering the cost and making business operations more efficient.
The presentation will be broadly based on business profitability - many PHP developers are consultants or own their own business, so it will deal with consulting(what it is), clients, marketing, and reducing overheads. Many companies can make themselves more profitable by improving their brand image and zeroing on the profitable clients. Apart from that, evaluating and assessing all your regular expenses in your business(regardless of the size or industry) can boost your overall margins.
