Consulting Fees: Tips for Negotiating

Get paid to talk. Not really. But try.

Tips for Negotiating Consulting Fees

1. Know your worth. Research your competitors, know the going rate, and don't be afraid to ask for it.

2. Be prepared to walk away. If the offer is laughable, don't settle for less than your worth. Your time is money, after all.

3. Bring a calculator. Math is your friend, even if the client thinks it's not.
