Do you have a well defined process set up that you need to track normal sales-cycle milestones?

With that said, I agree there should be a scale with different catagories and as bar graph or number next to each with the amount of experience.

One stipulation I want is release of title of a certain number of units at milestones, so I don't always have all of my money at risk.

When dealing with contractors, any kind of contractor, in any industry, you need to tie your payments to milestones.

I know this means that I'm still just starting on this journey, but I feel like it's a pretty big milestone and just wanted to share it with y'all.

Create a specific plan and create milestones to accomplish those goals!!
