First published in 2006 as a short ebook, Consulting Fees has turned into a hard copy print book. I originally wrote a blog post on what to charge as a consultant and it went viral in the indie consulting and freelance community. So, I expanded it and turned it into an ebook not long after. Due to demand from readers, I've now expanded the original ebook to cover more areas and taken it into print format. Consulting Fees covers how to set and get your rate, deal with sticky client situations, overcome objections to pricing, navigate emotional roadblocks to charging fees that reflect the value you offer and make the move to Solution-based Fees. Professionally written, edited and designed, Consulting Fees tries to take a kinder, gentler approach to helping people manage the world of pricing for consultants, freelancers and other service providers.
