Have you been asked to do a special project for someone [on the side]?
Have you thought about dabbling in another area of interest outside of your work?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, this meeting is for you! Setting consulting rates is always tricky. How much to charge, and why? There are many ways to establish a consulting rate--most of them neglect basic business principles. In this session, Christopher will show why those rate schemes often yield rates much lower than appropriate and how to establish a consulting rate you and your clients can live with.
