Make an offer of what works for your company at or below the current highest rate (see below).
My available time is allocated from the highest to lowest offer.
If you do make a qualifying offer, just pay the first month and you are good to go.
There is no contractual commitment, I continue to work with companies because I am driving value, not because of a contract.
Each additional month of us working together is simply scheduled/billed/paid before the end of the last month currently scheduled.
My total bookable advising time for all companies is limited to 80 hours/month.
My bookable time is limited to 4 hours/company/month; however specific value-add projects and execution of initiatives can and will take more time; which I don’t charge for (see below).
My current highest advising rate is $12000/month.
I keep meticulous track of the amount of investment in me from the company and the quantifiable value we create. This ensures that the time we spend together is valuable to you, the company and me.
I also look for value-add and execution of initiative opportunities in my advising companies to drive significant value in a single project, process automation, sale, reorganization, acquisition, etc. In these cases, I will pitch the idea/project, calculate the potential value, and will commit my time (for free, outside of our regular advising schedule) to bring this project to reality. I look to capture a 20% share of the net value created on the project i.e. the company makes 80% of the value for nothing out of pocket to me; I only get paid $2 when the company has already realized a value of $10).
Don’t worry about it. If I had all the time in the world I would do this for free, so no offer amount will be offensive to me, I just might not be able to help if there are other companies offering more (its simple supply and demand!).
Pick an amount that is sustainable for at least 3-9 months to ensure we have enough time to see results from our effort together. Some people make an offer of their median FT employee salary or multi-location businesses calculate total dollars per month that can easily be covered by each location, etc. However you want to look at it, the reality is, if us working together cannot create significantly more value then one of those comfortable levels for you, then we are not making good use of your time or mine.
We usually have 2-4 scheduled advising sessions per month and continuous access to eachother as needed throughout the month, plus my ongoing effort – off the clock – looking for additional value-add and execution of initiative opportunities as noted above.
I work with entrepreneurs at all levels all across the world. The same rules apply. Make an offer. I’m happy to help if I can.
