Hi,

basically its depends on the client requirement. first you have to know what areas they need to solve issues.means client always expect more from consultants. you should teach the users at any part of your module at client requirement time. So better to prepare on this also. you should know the processes in your module and having skills to solve the issues.

first what type of your client, what they need in which areas... every thing you take a tour on this. then automatically you can have an idea.
