My last dialog with my new Instagram follower:

F: Are you Lawyer?

Me: No, I am a contract specialist!

F: What is difference?

Me: …

Such dialogs, I usually have with the persons, who are not well-aware about my expertise or my job/business features. To make it more clearly for you, I created 10 simple statements starting from the words “I can…” to describe my expertise.

I can

1. I can advise you what type of commercial relationships to choose;

2. I can help to protect your business and cover its risky areas and weak spots through the contract;

3. I can draft the contract or agreement;

4. I can help to find a contractor/ supplier, which will satisfy maximum requirements of your company;

5. I can organize bidding process;

6. I can define negotiation targets and lead negotiations;

7. I can administrate the contract after signing;

8. I can help to set contract management process in your company;

9. I can help you to estimate budget with minimum deviation from real prices and costs at the market;

10. I can do point 1–9 for oil & gas industry, with budgets up to 25 billion $.

Have you ever faced with the situation, when people can not understand your job? profession? expertise? Share in comments your example and provide you personal “I can…”
