What is Contracts, retainers and client acquisition?
Contracts, retainers and client acquisition is the advanced course in running the agency at HDC Academy. You can win work predictably, contract for it properly, and turn finished projects into recurring revenue. It unlocks individually, with no subscription. You finish with a commercial pack for your own business: agreement, care plan, onboarding.

You can win work predictably, contract for it properly, and turn finished projects into recurring revenue.
Where this sits
Scoping, pricing, contracts, onboarding, delivery and handover: the commercial half of the business, written down. This is the advanced tier: the hard parts: the edge cases, the failure modes and the commercial side.
What you need before you start
The standard tier, and at least one client.
Who this is not for
Anyone expecting a lead-generation shortcut. There is not one in here.
Where the material comes from
This course is written from the documents HDC Consultancy delivers client work to, not assembled for a course. The ones behind this one:
-
05-templates/client-facing/master-agreement -
05-templates/client-facing/care-plan -
03-standards/shared/referrals-and-word-of-mouth
Client names, figures and commercial terms are removed before anything reaches a course. Worked examples are fictional unless a client has approved the real one for this specific use.

How much does Contracts, retainers and client acquisition cost?
It unlocks as a one-off purchase rather than a subscription, and nothing auto-renews. The price is confirmed before the course opens, and people with an account hear it first.
What will I actually have at the end?
A commercial pack for your own business: agreement, care plan, onboarding. That is the point of the course rather than a bonus at the end of it — every HDC Academy course finishes with something that exists, not a video watched.
What do I need before starting?
The standard tier, and at least one client.
Who should not take this course?
