Here is another topic on being flexible with your rates. I have initially planned to start a thread on it, but it has grown into an essay, which you can download at http://www.xtati.com/subjectivit…...
Here are some fragments from the essay.
Any creative job should be relevant to the client and to its subject, but being a work of mind, a creative output cannot avoid being judged subjectively. So why not put this aspect into the mentioned equation?
Basically, the idea is to have a scale, say, from 0 to 2 (5, 10, 100, if you wish) for every client and job. The scale should help reflect the subjective side of the business in a service industry without firmly prescribed rates. It is, finally, about the client who you have to deal with and the job you are faced with: what is the client’s business and how big is it, what are the prospects for further collaboration and on what level, what is his industry and how appealing is it for you, how big could be the exposure for this job, etc. Certainly, your experience plays quite a role, too. And, of course, the old good direct costs, indirect costs and the overhead.
....Tell me what you think.
