Pricing for Consulting by Jayne Cravens
Pricing for Consulting by Jayne Cravens
I charge either by the hour or a flat fee by project, depending on the consultation or workshop. Charges vary depending on the length of the consulting, how much new material I am asked to develop or how much I need to customize or rewrite materials or presentations, how much travel is involved (if any), etc.
Note that I always require that all travel costs (including travel to and from airports from my home, hotels or consultation sites) to be covered by the client. Because of past problems regarding travel reimbursements, I now require clients to pay all airline and hotel costs up front, or to provide a stipend upfront for me to pay the costs (I will not pay airline or hotel costs and then wait for reimbursement).
A great way to lower your costs regarding hiring me as a consultant is to help me book other consulting gigs in your geographic area; having multiple clients in one area helping to pay travel costs, instead of just one agency, can make it much more affordable. Another way to lower your costs is to view my what's new page or my public calendar to see if I might already be traveling to your area.
Another way to lower costs is for me to do an online workshop / consultation for your organization.
SPECIAL OFFERS :
If your group (association, university class, etc.) is in the USA or Canada and the group you may want to receive one of my trainings is an audience that will be at least one third African American, Latino and/or American Indian/Native American, I will give you a special, reduced rate for an online or onsite training. This is per my commitment to helping African American, Latino and American Indian/Native American managers in nonprofits, civic organizations, government programs and schools in particular to build their capacities regarding communications and/or volunteer engagement, and to cultivate far more trainers and consultants from these communities.
If your group is in a country that is classified as a Least Developed Country or a country less than .700 on UNDP's Human Development Index, I will waive all fees for two 90 minute workshops and charge only for transportation (including airfare and on-the-ground transportation in the USA to and from airports) and the UN's DSA rate for every day of travel or work (minimum four days) - I will waive all my consulting fees.
Please contact me for more information about my special rates for your audience.
I will consider doing one pro bono webinar (online workshop from my home in Oregon) for your organization of up to 45 minutes for a subject on which I already have a presentation prepared if:
There must be a SIGNED agreement for a speaking or
training gig to be finalized - even one at a reduced rate. The
agreement should have your organization's name, my name, the date of
the event, a summary of what you want me to do (30 minute keynote
speech, 90 minute presentation on whatever subject, etc.) details
about payment, details about who is responsible for making travel
arrangements and who is paying for such, cancellation policy, etc. I
am very generous about cancellation of an event **IF** I am not out
of any money - in other words, if we have a signed agreement and you
need to cancel BEFORE I have paid for a flight, a rental car, etc.,
that is very likely going to be okay with me. But without a signed
agreement that clearly lays out terms, I don't know how "real" your
invitation to present is.
