Check it out: Alan Weiss – Value Based Fees

Product description
In this meticulously revised edition of his classic book, Alan Weiss shows how a consultant’s fee depends on only two things: the value provided by the buyer’s perception and the buyer’s and the consultant’s intention to act ethically. Many consultants, however, fail to understand that perceived value is the basis of fees, or that they must translate the importance of their advice into long-term client perceived benefits. Still others lack the courage and belief systems that support the high value provided to clients, thereby reducing fees to a level commensurate with the low self-esteem of the consultant. Ultimately, Weiss says, consultants, not clients, are the main reason for low consulting fees.

Cost-Based Tariffs
When the book Cost Fees was first published in 2002, it quickly became a guide for consultants who need a reliable source to determine how much they should charge their clients for their services.
In this meticulously revised edition of his classic book, Alan Weiss shows how consulting fees depend on only two things: the value provided by the buyer’s perception and the buyer’s and consultant’s intention to act ethically.

Filled with the stories of successful consultants, value-based fees clearly illustrate how consultants can educate their clients on how to determine value and subsequent investment. Weiss’s value-based approach to rewards is about establishing win-win dynamics with customers, while at the same time accommodating shoppers’ ego and their belief that “you get what you pay for.”

Business Information:

A business is an activity aimed at making a living or making money by producing or buying and selling products (such as goods and services).
[citation needed for verification] Simply put, it is “any activity or enterprise entered into for the purpose of making a profit.
This does not mean that it is a company, corporation, partnership, or has any such formal organization, but it can range from a street vendor to General Motors. ”

The presence of a company name does not separate the business entity from the owner, which means that the owner of the enterprise is responsible and liable for the debts incurred by the enterprise.
If the business acquires debt, creditors can go after the owner’s personal property.
The business structure does not include corporate tax rates. The owner is personally taxed on all business income.
