Yes, I charge for every meeting. Whether it is a conference call, or an actual visit to my clients office. I also charge for the time that it takes me to get to and from the meetings.

yeh was thinking about incorporating project management into the quotes now. Think thats the easiest and subtle way of telling people.

I haven't done for the last 6 years and made a point of it in my initial meet. Now I have some pretty demanding clients and I have started to add in "project management" into my estimate... if spend all the time emailing, on the phone, commuting to meetings, etc... then how do they expect me to do "chargeable" design.
Next year is a new year and a new project workflow and time/payment structure

yeh what i thought
to be honest i'm contemplating writing one of those clients off altogether if he gets any worse

too late!
we never have, but we have a new client that will need a lot of time. so we're laying it out in the initial contract. but if you didn't say at the start you'll have a hard job now.

Does anyone charge for meetings here ?
I have a client or 2 that are demanding too much time in meetings so now thinking about charging for it because feels like they are taking the piss abit.
