How to sell your testing services
As a QA specialist, you always need to sell testing services: the services of a company you work for; your personal services as an independent contractor; or you're just going to a job interview. Even now, some people still consider testing an activity that can easily be done by developers. We will discuss the most common obstacles that might prevent you from being effective at presenting your services and discuss the popular approaches to do it right. This topic will help you to grow as a QA expert and I will be there for the entire meetup to answer all your questions. :)

I'm a Senior Solution Architect at GlobalLogic with an extensive Quality Assurance and Enterprise Architecture background. As a part of GlobalLogic Technology Office, I lead technical advisories, assessments and consulting across multiple domain verticals such as media, healthcare, automotive, and telecom. I've played numerous roles in software engineering, test automation, configuration engineering and test processes management.
For the past 10 years, I have regularly conducted hard- and soft-skills training for internal and external audiences. Also, I do some conference talks, but I prefer to cover the topics everyone cannot read about on the Internet.
My professional motto is "Every improvement, change and deliverable should be based on a clear business value, not on how cool it looks or how trendy it is".
