But... Your Rate Is Too High.
FAQs
Q1. But... your rate is too high.
A: No, they're not. 1) In terms of constant 1990 dollars my rates haven't changed in the last 10+ years. 2) The high cost of client turnover, advertising, marketing, hundreds of long distance calls, constant moving, hotels, motels, car rentals, taxes, training, all my vacations, holidays, insurance and retirement benefits come out of my own pocket. It's tough to live in hotels and motels. It's also very expensive. One's cost of living doubles and triples when one has to live in hotels and move often. 3) In addition to my paid 40 hours per week, in this business I have to put in 5 -15 unpaid hours per week so that I can market myself update my web site and resumes, as well as catch up with technology. 4) On contracts, I usually need two to three complete months just to break even, just to recover my initial cost of client turnover, advertising, marketing, moving and transportation.
