The total amount of consulting costs that a client will pay depends upon the amount of work required to reach the agreed objectives. These objectives will be determined by one a more telephone calls which is then followed by a formal proposal and contract. Travel must be pre-paid. Fee payment is due at the time of presentation.
Fees are negotiable for existing clients.
I normally do not charge fees for time spent in traveling though this is a common practice with most other consultants. However, for extended trips or locations, additional expenses might apply. This allows me to re-arrange itinerary's as required. I will also entertain staying over a Saturday night at certain locations if the client is willing to pay the extra hotel and auto rental charges. If I am visiting more than one client per trip, air fares will be billed pro rata to each client.
