"We had been quoting day rates that hadn't moved since 2019. The benchmarking session showed us where we sat against comparable firms in Taipei and Singapore. We raised our project fees by 18% on the next three proposals — and two of them closed without negotiation."— Lin Wei-Chen, founder, Lin & Associates (operations advisory)
"The retainer model design work was thorough. I appreciated that they pushed back when I wanted to bundle too much into a flat monthly fee. The scope boundaries they helped me write have saved me from at least two awkward conversations with clients who expected unlimited access."— Sarah Okonkwo, principal, Okonkwo HR Advisory
From the field notes
A framework for deciding whether day rates or project fees suit your next engagement — and how to explain the choice to clients.
Publishing rates builds trust with some clients and filters others out. Here is how to decide what to disclose.
Scope clarity is a pricing tool. Vague scope invites fee pressure; precise scope anchors the conversation on value.
Most engagements start with a 30-minute call to understand your practice, current pricing, and the specific fee conversation you want to get right.
