Pricing model

Pricing consulting

Consultants sell expertise, preparation and decision impact, not only meeting time. Include pre-call analysis and follow-up.

Recommended approach

Use a price floor and packages for individual sessions, or a retainer for ongoing access.

Starting preset

Typical preset: 90-minute session, 60 minutes preparation, 30 minutes follow-up and tool costs.

The values show a pricing structure, not an average market rate.

Checklist before quoting

  • Scope and outcome are defined clearly.
  • Preparation, communication and handover are included.
  • Revision rounds or work allowance are documented.
  • External costs have an identified payer.
  • Scope changes have a separate pricing rule.
