    A: Don't work hourly. Charge by project rate. Your efficiency should benefit you.

    B: Include all of the stuff that's not actual creative work in your estimate/proposal. This includes an estimated cost for meetings, phonecalls, invoicing, coming up with an estimate -- anything that requires your time and is related to the project is time you should be billing for. This is what a project manager / ae/ finance person has to do at a company -- and they don't work for free, neither should you.

    • project rates encourage you to do the least amount of work possible.doesnotexist
    • No at all. Makes you be more efficient b/c the bottom line affects you as well.fyoucher1
    • exactly...you start to discourage rounds and you're stuck with your project rate.doesnotexist
    • That's why you let them know how many rev's are included.fyoucher1
