Should consultants put their prices on their website?
Clients used to tell me honesty, integrity and transparency were their biggest values. You know what actually shows transparency? Your prices, right there on your website. I've even had clients book early so they wouldn't get priced out.
How much should I charge for consulting?
In June of 2013, we were pinched for money, and a client asked us to come down from $16,000 to $11,000. I said no, with my stomach in knots. A few weeks later, they came back and said okay.
Should consultants charge by the hour or by the project?
Years ago I hired someone who insisted on being paid by the hour, and spent the first 10 minutes of our weekly calls asking about my day. All I could think was, "Get to it! I'm paying you for this time."
