I'm being asked by someone I'd really like to work with for our "Rate Card". I typically just quote projects. I understand in general what this is, but does anyone have an example of one they could email me? I'd keep your info to myself of course. Just looking for some help - I need to get this done asap. Thanks.

If you bill hourly or charge the same price for certain types of line items on an estimate, use a rate card. Otherwise, tell them that you price projects differently depending on scope, complexity, and timeline.

this may mean somebody in the back office is trying to "compare vendors" or something... time to take people out for a beer and work on the biz relationship, ...?? is there a beancounter whose ego has to be stroked? is it time to run away?

The other option you might consider is selling your time in blocks and offering a slightly reduced hourly rate if they buy larger blocks. I personally prefer this as it cuts down on accounting and gets the cash in your hands.

spot13 has a good idea..... it's also a nice way to make sure they don't mess up your timing and billing with nickel and dime randomness....

Thanks, guys. Appreciate all these responses. Yeah I like that idea Spot13. I'll think about how I could do something like that.

Does a rate card typically contain information about billing cycles, deposits, legaleze type of stuff?
